I am a first time grower. I have 3 pure sativa plants growing outside. If I allow the plants to run their normal course in growing outside, they will not be ready to harvest until the last week of October or the first week of November. I live north of Seattle, and the weather in October and early November is too cold for my plants to rise to the high quality that I'm looking for, so I have began to force flower the plants by bringing them inside to a small blacked out room at night for 12 hours and then bringing them back outside for 12 hours. I've been doing this for a week and I'm concerned because the plants haven't began to flower yet. I know if they were growing in a controled environment inside my home, they normally would have began flowering right away. Will my plants eventually start flowering if I continue to attempt to force flower them? If all goes well they should be ready to harvest the last week of September from the 10 gallon pots their growing in. It's quite a job having to bring the plants in at a certain time and then take them outside again 12 hours later, but if it works out the way I hope it does, it will all be worth it. So again, the question is: Will the plants start flowering pretty soon or will my experiment fail, meaning I'll have to let the plants stay outside 24 hours a day until November to harvest which will possibly result in higher yield but definitely will be lower quality?
It's been almost 7 hours since I first made this post, and there are no replys yet, so I added this paragraph at 8:52 PM to ask one last time for someone who is knowledgable about the situation I described to answer my question please. Surely, it can't be that difficult for anyone who is really an expert on the subject.
