I started growing outdoors in Florida, sprouted my seeds in mid march (bag seed) and they were growing great, about a foot and a half and bushy. I was expecting 6 foot tall plants with huge buds by fall, but now they started budding and pretty much stopped growing. can anybody tell me if there is a way to stop the flowering stage and get them back to veg

will snipping off the buds and feeding them with high nitrogen fertilizer help it to start veg any sooner or should I just leave it alone?

I wouldn't risk any shock to the plants since they are outdoors I think frosty pretty much summed it up, mother nature is in the drivers seat at this point.
Speaking from general gardening experience flowering plants have a basic cycle interrupting it usually just throws them off. I've actually had my azaleas flowering during a frost because I screwed with them before. ...just a general fyi, I've never grown mj outdoors though. With the sun in control you're just going to have to let it be as it is. Just don't do anything extreme all you'll do is shock the plants.

i live in central florida and i had that problem last year and i moved the plant to a tree line going east and west and the woods were to my back when facing north. right on the edge of the tree line i planted it and it got sun from sun up to sun down cuz the woods ran east and west with the sun which i didnt have any shade on the plant at all.
