My first outdoor grow :D

So i started my first grow last year and can anybody tell me when they are gona bud?

They were planted last year around the 20November 2013.... I live in Namibia(desert with weird ass weather) which is next to South Africa in the Southern Hemisphere..
Its growing on my roof next to a tree so it gets some shade throughout the day and for some reason the stems are purple?

If theres anything else i need to add just let me know!

You have to put the plant(s) into a 12/12 light cycle to get it to bud. In the 1980's I built a box to grow outside. Before I left for work I flipped it open and 12 hours later I'd close the box. That was the second year I grew bud, but this time I knew what I was doing. The previous year I didn't know about the 12/12 factor. I was putting them out every morning and putting them in the closet inside for night. After lenthy discussion with fellow growers this guy named Pat came out with the 12/12 light theory and we all then knew what caused the plants to bud in Canada. Nice buds also:)
 
aah thanks alot dude, seems like i gota build a box now aswell. Does anyone also know the type im growing? i think its a swazi or skunk... not too sure

*how long will the buds take to grow after i put them on the 12/12 light cycle?

After you switch it to 12/12 it will take atleast 2 weeks before you see pistils coming sometimes longer. You have to make sure there is no light leaks in the box you make. If there are light leaks it will stay in veg. Alternatively you could transplant it into a bigger pot and allow it to flower with the natural change of the light cycle. Depending on where you are search up the time of sunrise and sunset. And see when the light cycle starts to get shorter
