they are in nutrient free soil so i can control exactly what they get - i have been feeding them they are kept 2-3 degrees either side of 25 Celsius during the 'day' and maybe down to about 15 at 'night'.

i cut them back before lowering the light cycle - i was hoping this would stop the plant growing and make it flower but it continues to do both. should i just cut off all the new shoots at this stage?
