First Outdoor. Help With Flowering Needed!

I have 3 plants that I started indoor under CFL back in April and moved outside about a month ago.
I have had some troubles with slugs and ants unfortunately and my plants aren't doing too well. :( But my biggest problem is that where they are I can't really get to them every day but I have been checking up on them about every 3 or 4 days. Because of this I am wondering how well they are going to flower naturally in my climate.
The pics below are calendars showing how much sun light there is everyday in my area and it also shows when the first frost is suppose to be. My biggest concern is that from the first day of 12/12 to the first frost is about a week. Am I screwed guys? :?

Ok. Here are the girls (I hope)
I am trying to LST the one on the left but I am new to it so it is more for expirience.

I had this discussion with another board member just recently and he informed me that it simply the daylight hours getting shorter that triggers the plant to flower, not the actual 12/12 photoperiod. I used to think the same as you.

My plants have always begun to flower in mid august, but the actual 12/12 isint listed until the end of september.

your fine time wise, its the days getting shorter that causes flowering.
