They can stay in veg as long as you want! Or until they max your grow space out! Usually around 6-8 weeks for a good veg! If the plants are photo period you have to switch the light cycle to 12 hrs on / 12 hrs off for them to start flowering!

That my friend is a good question! I've never grown outdoors! And only indoors where I can control everything! I apologize on not being any help on this one!
I know if you start them 12/12 you're basically flowering from the get-go and they will begin to produce buds when they're mature enough!

Not far from a newb here but my 2 cents is that plants bloom when exposed to 12/12 I'm guessing since you put them out when it was 12/12 light dark they flipped into flower, guessing that now they seem stalled with the days getting a little longer. From what I've read they should snap out of it and begin vegging again. The stress they experienced going back and forth might stunt their overall growth some but it might not be noticable by the end of flowering. Good luck!

bc it's been labelled as such... u can test it by trying to reveg it but I dont wanna fuck up your grow.... actually u should know it bc it would have an impact @ your lighting schedule... let me guess: bagseed?
edit: just let it grow, outdoors, well u better hope its an auto...
if its a photoperiod genetic it could reveg, so it could be stunted and grow erratic fancy leaves....

I gave a friend of mine some King’s Banner seeds that aren’t auto that he put out too early. He just sent me pictures today asking if he should start feeding them for flower because they haven’t revegged yet, either. It’s also worth mentioning that some plants can flower at only 10 or 11 hours of darkness. I have an AK47 going now that started flowering at 10 hours of darkness when I changed it’s lighting schedule to 14/10 to get it closer to the outdoor daylight schedule before moving her outside.

No need to flush but I’d give her longer. I personally wait until they are milky with about 25% amber. I remove fan leaves, dry for 7-10 days at room temp 60% RH, then dry trim and jar for a 2 week cure.
