Outdoor grow not flipping to flower

In previous years my grows have started to flower in first week of August so they are at least 3 weeks late. I’m growing Gorilla Glue and Apple Betty. It’s been an exceptionally hot summer with an unusual amount of sunny days. Full disclosure…. I was super busy getting my house ready to sell in the spring, busy working and renovating a house to move into. I took my plants to my sons property and he sorta took over. Without my knowing it he moved them from pots to raised beds rich in compost. They are definitely fem… not a pollen sac to be seen. Do I have any hope that they will flip soon? Thanks for any replies…

Yes that’s my concern as well. Also bud rot is my curse late in the season. It does seem to get colder later and later in my area the last few years. Last year the first frost was late October

Iam in the far Northeast USA not far from you if your plants haven't flipped yet they are not going to make it to full harvest Iam 2-3 weeks into flower an Iam praying for a warm oct to barely make it.

You will end up harvesting premature flowers. Not much you can do about it, unless you decide to put up a greenhouse. Even then you will have to run a heater and dehumidifier if you want to prevent major bud rot.

Next year you should consider force flowering, if you're growing outdoors in that climate.

Good luck with your grow :weed:
