Ive got six plants outside right now... all looking like indica so far. I can post pics in an hour or more if yall think it makes a diff.

My question is....

I live in LA, my plants are outside. I want them to start fruiting/flowering, but i worry that the sun is out too long? I veg'd them indoors 24/7 and then recently put them outside. they are growing way faster outside now, but i want them to be ready for harvest by at least end of november.... Any ideas if la has the weather right now to do this, or should i take my plants in and out at certain times?

dont know what the daylight hours are there but they need 12 light 12 dark to flower some start maybe 13 or 14 tho if they havent started yet you can force them by putting them in a dark place for 12 then in light for 12 then when the daylight hours go down to about 12/12 you can leave them outside

they should start to flower soon but if not you can cover them with trash bags at night and uncover them in the morning to induce flowering but you have to make sure you get 12 hours of light and 12 of dark which can be alot of work...other than that you'd just have to wait it out and harvest later than you'd like

I'm an hour and one half north of LA, I have already harvested my outdoor indica, my sativa dom is about 2 weeks from finishing... Gets too cold here to put anymore out now, but I would try putting some outside in LA. doesn't get to cold there, if it does frost cover them for the night.....(((( Now, I have never grown outside in LA, I'm only making a Semi-educated guess about conditions in the LA basin))) When was the last time it froze in LA? May mold due to less sunlight and more moisture (Humidity) in the air.........
