Flowering?

Hi there everyone, this is my fist message posted up on here, I think its a really cool site. I was just wondering about my plants and when are they most likely going to start flowering (budding), I have been growing them out doors since May 2010 now and one of them I'm pretty sure is a female?, the reason for this is due to the visibility, of what I think are the pre-flowers that are coming from the bottom of the nodes, coming from the main stem. The thing is, just recently in my area (North West England) it has been raining quite a lot, and as much as I am aware that too much rain can be bad for the plants, they seem to visually look very healthy and green. I have been informed by a friend that if I was to get the plant under the correct lights now, that it would bud nicely. I'm not too sure whether to just leave it though, because it has done fine outside up to now. Another thing is, I am not sure of the strain and type, since as this was a seed that I got in some bud that I got one time,it does have very big leaves though. Can somebody give me some advice on what I should do for the best?

I would leave them outside if they see to be doing well. A little research and you can find out the sunrise/sunset times for where you live, when the days start getting close to 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night you should start looking for flowering, it will be later this fall. Look around on the outdoor growing section of this site and there will probably be lots more info about fertilizers and what not. good luck.

Hello there! Well first of all - growing plants outside (as you will be aware) will dramatically increase your yield! The recent down pour in rain shudnt be a problem as long as you have a decent drainage system in place for the plant - i'e put in puts dug into the ground with a hole beneath to stop root rot!
The strain will not matter tbh as long as you are sure it's female! Make sure its out of the way and has a good area where sunlight can activate the veg/flowering process! Because you will not have much sunlight in this area will mean the plant will take longer to grow! - i would still be feeding it some nutes if you can as this will help speed up the process and will also promote better nugs in the long run

your plants shud be in the flowering stage now - and if you could try make a makeshift dome for it - to flowering earlier - by this i mean try inducing the flowering can you put sumthing over the plant like lots of bin bags for 36 hours? This will induce the plant into the flowering cycle and will help you alot - boxes or covers or sumthing for that time - pictures would be a massive help as i will be able to tell if it is female if it aint ur wasting your time!

Get some pics and i will try and help u as much as i can!

All the best

yea do what ENGLAND123 said to do

Yeah, leave it outside.
