(dana)Owensboro, KY(Zone 6a)

i just started with brugs this year . one of them has like 10 buds . they are staying tiny . and one fell off. i moved it to a sunnier warmer part of the house . i mean i saw the first bud like 3 months ago . as its branching there are more buds but they are so small and dont seem to be growing. i havnt started a fert. program because they are all small and in the house . i do spritz with mg like once a week . should i start bloom booster . or just wait till they go outside.

This time of the year and in your zone, your poor brug is struggling between trying to bloom and go dormant. I know you are trying to give it every advantage but no matter what window you put it in you are challenged because you are further north and the amount and quality of light you receive daily is telling your brug it is winter. She is trying but nature is working against you. You can add artificial lighting such as a grow or flourescent light close to the plant to help her out if you really want to have those buds try to bloom. Also, every time you move the plant, you stress it again. Pick a spot and leave it there. It will need time to adjust and will probably drop some leaves and possibly buds after being moved.. usually it will drop leaves before it drops buds.

Good luck.
