I have 3 plants that i started indoors way back in march. Back in may i put them outside. Right now they are almost pushing 6 feet tall. They are pretty stretched but its alright.

I cant get them to stop vegging!!! the light cycles now are about 12/12 and they wont switch! however, i dont have the option to bring them inside.

get a refrigerator box and put it over the plant for the 12 hours at night, then take it off during the day. The plant must be getting too much light at night.
6ft. is a monster tho, good luck with that.

Back in May the outside light cycle wasn't 12/12.... I believe July is the month that starts (I could be wrong).... so anyway... they are likely just now entering the flowering cycle.

Those things are going to be MONSTERS.... I hope you have them in a secluded spot :mrgreen:

putting them outside kinda puts you on an outside growing season...the fridge box is a good idea,but man I would get tired of moving that box 2 times a day...lol...leave it alone and your harvest will be oct,nov,somewhere in that range....If you decide on the box idea,get a tarp too,or the first time it rains your girl will be wearing a big box

I don't get that though. Will they start before 12/12....?

They will probably show pre flowers to give you and idea of sex, but they wont start flowering till they have at the most 14/10 hours of light. Even then they will need 12/12 to really enter the flowering stage.

Are they females? If they are, and haven't been pollenated by males, by the time they do flower you are going to get a massive yield. What you could try doing to force them into flowering, is get a refridgerator box like stated above, and give them about 36 hours of COMPLETE darkness. That usually forces them to flower to release their "seeds" that they dont have, which to release the seeds, the buds grow bigger and bigger and if unplucked, they would probably just burst open. That would be just a waste and who in there right mind would let that happen :(

Edit: wow im stupid and havent been reading previous posts. You NEED to get that male away from those females. When they get pollenated you will get some seedy shit and it will concentrate on producing seeds and not producing buds. they will be less potent
