Mine have started showing some small buds & i have some that i rooted last year in little solo cups that are budding i couldn't believe it.I will take a picture to show you.They were sitting in a window & i guess the cool air at night coming in the window & i don't have the light on much in there.But i was planning on potting them just haven't gotten around to it.Should i go ahead & pot them or let them bloom like they are?The buds are pretty big,bigger than my big plants.

Since i do put mine outside to get darkness & the cool air,at what temp. should i bring them in? It's been in the 50's at night & they are doing good,it got down into the high 40's a couple times & they took that good but the last 2 nights it's been into low 40's & mid 30's so they came inside.The temp is suppose to go back up.When do you know they have had enough darkness,when they first start putting out buds or wait until the buds get some size on them?

Sorry about all the questions but since i have been taking your advice they have been so pretty and last year mine were still blooming in Feb. Hurray!
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
