End of August, Not Budding!!! Help

Hello, I started growing two seedlings in June and they grew indoors for about 1- 1/2 months. I put the pots outside at in mid july. I came back a few weeks later to realize that a storm had just killed my plants. I went to florida for vacation and when i came back a week later, i realized that my plant (only one recovered) grew about 10 nodes each about 6 inches long. Amazing right! So lets say that they are a good 2 1/2 weeks of veg from clone, because that is the approximate size that a clone would be at this point. I am trying to keep the plant as a whole under 1 ft and i am currrently lst'ing the plants (working great). I am a little concerned though because it is the end of august and it has shown no sign of sex nor budding. Did this big kill stunt the plants for a few weeks? I live in the northern part of indiana. Any ideas?

P.S. plant is bagseed, looks like an indica sativa mix, not quite sure though
