If you forced flower right now you could leave them outside and it will finish up. Especially if you have had a 20-24 lights on schedule

Yes... the whole thing about flower is the dark period. When the nights get to 12 hours and longer (the autumnal equinox , September 22nd... technically, slightly varied say... if you have a mountain to either east/west/south of you 
). If you're trying to flower sooner you will need to lip dep... light deprive them... as simple as throwing a tarp over... preferably a frame so it's not on top of the plants. This is where light leaks are super important. The darker you can get the cover to block out the most light and making sure there are NO leaks... a fe hours of some bright sun on a pat of your plant while flowering it could re-veg or most often hermie it.
Hmmm why bring them in at all? Just, if you can put them outside I mean, might as well just keep em there... less hassle, less problems (shock from light, temps, etc)

The 12 hour thing does not apply to outdoors. There is plenty of people I've seen in outdoor threads that have already begun flowering and most of mine are within a week or so.

*Copy & paste from a random website*
Does 12/12 mean anything outdoors? Often I have seen new members(or members mostly experienced in indoors) post threads asking when 12/12 occurs outdoors. Often they say they are looking for the time of the season when their plants will start blooming outdoors, many times they are trying to use this date(Sept 21 Equinox) plus the strains indoor finishing time to determine the outdoor finishing time. But of course it doesn't work that way, we know that most strains have started blooming long before Sept 21st, but there is even more reason why indoor finishing times can't be applied outdoors. One thing to realize is that as the day lights length shortens, the plants speed up their blooming, since most plants start blooming long before 12/12, outdoor plants will take longer to set into blooming and to finish than their indoor grown sisters would. So basically, unless you live very near to the Equator, indoor finishing times will not be applicable outdoors.
In other words...If us outdoor growers waited for the 12/12 to happen it would be in oct. That is when most people are harvesting their crops.

I haven't quite heard that before... yes, that many strains start flowering early as they react to lengthening nights and changing light... but not full flower, except autos of course.
Than again I guess most outdoor growers I've known did light dep to force flower anyway... i guess for max yields/and or finishing faster...

There are different reasons to force flower but general rule of thumb for any outdoor grower is harvest is between late sep for early indicas mid oct for most and early Nov for most long flowering sativas.
so that means most will be into full flower by the end of august.

Um, yes, I read English (as well as a few more). See how I used Autumnal Equinox? Sexy right
"You meant fall right?" was regarding
Because August is not the beginning of spring, on the planet I live... and I know of no one flowering any time soon until spring.... or even growing outdoors in winter.

What about auto's they can flower even in summer?
thewanderingjack

This seems trollish...
That's basically what auto's are for... you still don't want to plant too early (temps) and maybe wait so that the plant is growing under the strongest sunlight (midsummer, so plant before so it's vegging out in that), but yeah, AUTO=will flower after a certain (approximate) time from start, regardless of dark period.

Auto's are not photoperiod. That is why they can flower anytime of the yr.

What time outdoor will start growing bud? If grown out do from beginning of spring?
