id let her live outside, its practically natural flowering time and it will take as long indoors or out. only benifit to keeping he inside is you can protect her from thieving punk assed teenagers

if you got an hps bulb and ballast its probly better indoors. outdoor flowering goes by the month of harvest, meaning if u bought the seeds online it will tell u what month is harvest time. indoor flowering is usually 8-9 weeks for indica and 10-13 weeks for sativa. by the look of it ur plant looks mostly sativa. so depending on the strain its approx. October outdoor, or 10 - 13 weeks indoor.

but also because of it being grown outdoor its whole life, it may have already pre flowered or started flowering, shortening the indoor flowering time, with the outdoor flowering time staying the same.

yeah watch them fools haha... just keep it on 12/12 it is the best thing im doing the same thing and as soon as i moved her inside she started flowering but watch out for bugs you may not see them but they are there longer the better it takes time i have grown a few some longer then outhears and longer is better you with notice little bud popping up everywhere make sure to trim some leafs so light reaches the lower leafs with a plant that big more light the better i use cfls they works just as good as hps just takes a little longer good luck and enjoy your first home grown

well i usually see little buds after about 2 weeks. maybe sometimes 3. but i do know at about halfway through the flowering stage if u introduce the plant to colder conditions it will finish up a bit earlier, decreasing yield slightly.

okay so if i put her in a colder spot shell speed up after about 2 or 3 weeks or how long so u think i should wait like how long is the flowering stage

i dont think so, i think if its colder it will force the plant to die early, maybe finish up, but it will hurt your yield and quality severely

yeah. that sounds good. and when i meant colder, i didnt mean like, freezing temps. i just meant decrease the temp by like 10 degrees. the plant will think winter is coming and start finishing up. it does hurt the potency and yield but then again, speeding anything up hurts the quality.
