OK had my 2 tangagreen ladies out side for about a month each have 4 colas they been growing since April when will they flower plz let me know and i'm on the west coast of the u.s.:confused:
 
when the natural light cycle reaches near 12 hrs light 12 hrs dark id imagine... there are ways to force flowering outdoors but its a bit of a mission.

flowering is induced by the changing of photoperiod. june 21st is the longest day of the year. after that the days get shorter, thus initiating flowering. so saying 'around' june 21st is the most accurate you can get. I tried to get more accurate and it didn't make sense. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_length
you'll see that it's around the 270th day of the year that 12 hours of light is prevalent in much of the northern hemisphere. That would be September 27th(Ironically). I'd say most plants visibly start flowering around late July or early August.

If, you had the outdoor plants in pots you could bring those plants inside, do the 2 or 3 days of darkness then set the plants back outside.

I use August 1st as the Start date for flowering but this can vary by a couple weeks, depending on strain and environmental conditions

The tiny changes in day length take about five weeks to initiate flowering while a sudden change from 18/6 to 12/12 indoors can initiate flowering in as little as five days in sexually mature plants.
