You can get cheep LED grow lights now. Short light = cannabis flowers.

Over 12 hrs of good light and weed grows. Under 12 hrs of good light after a month or so - weed flowers.

Amazon has a gazillion cheep grow lights. My plants have been under 24 hrs of light for the past two months - so they are huge & beautiful and ready to be put in my garden this week - as the days are long enough. When the days get shorter, cannabis begins to flower.

Right now - you can cut off those buds and put your plant into 24 hr light till it starts regrowing & then plant it outside.
