So I am guessing my plant is flowering?

[VACAVILLE,CA.GROWER]

Hello everyone, Hope everyone healthy and doing good.
So here is my plant.
I started her indoors under a led light 18/6.
I then moved her outdoors on the last day of may.
I am in northern california, so we have about about 14 1/2 hours of daylight.
She is getting about 8 hours of direct sunlight, the last few hours are in shade.
So am I right about her being in full bloom already?
If she is in bloom mode, should I start bloom nutrients now?
If so is it because she is not getting enough direct sunlight or is it something else?

I would start bloom nutes. She is flowering. More then likely because you went from 18 hours of direct light down to under 10.

Ok thank you for your reply.
I was just making sure.
So will she bloom normal, will the yield be smaller?
Will she finish faster the normal?

I fed her a small dose of maxigro this morning.
So from here out I should be feeding her maxibloom?

It's a photoperiod, not an auto, right? Any way to add light? Set your LED up in a shed or something? I wouldn't bring the plant into your indoor grow space but the size and yield will be reduced with only 8 hours light.

I mean she gets light, it dont get dark here till around 9.
She only gets strong direct light for about 8 maybe 9 hours.

Yes, the yield will be smaller with 8-9 hours but she is outside so she may get enough lumens in that time frame. Hard to tell as I dont grow outside either. I wouldnt take her back in either. Screwing with her light now while she is in full bloom can be risky.

Just leave it outside, sudden decreases in light can cause a plant to flower even if the total amount of light should keep it vegging. The solstice is in like 2 days so the amount of light will be decreasing and it shouldn't reveg. Feed it according to your bloom regimen.

Here is how my plant looks now.
I just started bloom feeding.
