not sure the exact time when flowering started. they have just been left to do their own thing in the garden, i started back in april and have just let them grow, no nutrients and grown in all purpose compost, it started as an experiment and had now turned into something i cant let die!!
so by looking at the pictures you would say another few weeks?!
thanks for the reply!

Don't go by the pistils..its the trich (crystals) cloudy to amber is where you want to be... They are starting to get a good frosted look.. Here the weather has taken a turn for the better...I'd wait as long as you can... not far to go...
+rep for growing......

the natural light contains more than enough energy to make them grow perfectly, remember they are a natural organism and before power or special grow lights that was the way to do it,
i pottted seeds in early april and kept them inside at night and in the sun at day then when big enough about 1foot just left them in the garden in the sun everyday...

Wicked so in april time i should veg my plants for quite long indoors and then just put them outside somewhere and they will grow massive?

i am no pro but it is not like in a grow room, it will be all natural as during the spring summer time you will get the right amount of light and as autum winter hits the sunlight will decrease, its a natural process and works brilliant outdoors, grow rooms just inhance the natural process!
get your shoot sprouting in april and gwet them outdoors buy end april early may, so long as the bristish weather isa not a low as freezing they will be fine and they will build up a natural tollerance to low temps!
