Outdoor plants flowering early

I put my plants outside about a month ago and had them in the shade to acclimate them to being outdoor. About a week before I put them outside I switched the indoor lights from 24/0 to 18/6. I transplanted the plants from gallon pots 25 gallon pots. I'm in Denver so it's been cold and raining for the past month. Very little sunlight at all. They look healthy as they were starting to yellow before I transplanted them and are now a deep green. They still have buds though and the buds are just getting frostier but they are small.

I'm not super worried about it but am a concerned parent. What can I do to speed up the process? Should I clip off the buds or leave them? Should I give them a higher Nitrogen diet? I have researched this topic in this site and others and haven't come up with anything solid. Mostly theory.

Strains are as follows:
Blue dream
GSC
Golden goat
Hash plant
OG kush


If anyone has had experience with this in the past please help a brotha out.

when did you put them out? if they were out early enough the light cycle outside still would have flowered them.. i forget what day it is but theres one day that hits and its safe to place them out.. i used to put my males outside in april on my porch to get pollen they would all open and flower

i see you say you put them out a month ago but do you know the exact date? ... i wanna say its the beginning week of the month solstice occurs that your looking for to hit then you can go out... so like june 1st is normally when we all place out here in michigan .. some guys started last week here.. but most are placed out on june 1st.

march 20th to june 20th would shave been equinox..

it doesnt all revolve around "solstice" and shit it just marks the shorter days and longer days.. its different if you start from a seed.. but if you put a mature plant out into the shorter days still and it will start flowering

I don't remember the date but it was after the date where the days are longer but it was after that day because I looked it up at that time. I think the problem was that I took them out of 24/0 and put them essentially into 0 direct sunlight because it's just been cloudy and rainy here for over the past month.

no that has nothing t do with it.. UV rays and light are still getting to the plant.. cloudiness wouldn't have been the issue .. i really doubt that the 24 to outdoor would have done it too.. but let me look something up.

its showing that may 1st-15th is the safe day for outdoor starting in your area... were they out before that?
