I got this plant about 15" tall about 3 or 4 months old I think, and I basically didn't give it the right lighting conditions so it would bud properly.
As an outside grower, I got these street lights that go on at night and ruin the darkness, so the plant won't bud right. So I told myself; "take the plant in at a certain time of day -give it absolute darkness- and put it back out every morning." The lighting would be something like 12/12 or 14/10 or so. But because of work I accidentally left it out many nights instead of taking it in; for more than 3 weeks. Surprisingly; some buds grew, but not too big. The lighting I figure was kinda dark enough to grow small buds, but not fat ones.
I heard once the pistils turns a brown or orange it's time to harvest and my small small buds are brownish/orange. Is it too late to make them bigger if I just don't forget to take it in at night anymore? Any other ideas I can try, anything? Intervals of 24 hours of darkness each other day, special nutes of some sort? Would cutting off the buds now and letting them regrow new ones -with the lighting done right help? It's my first plant out of 3 or 4 tries or summers ago, I know it's pathetic; so please help. Pictures included.
