Like everyone said it really depends on location and strain, most of mine flip in August, most are stretching now , I have a few that are really early as they are getaway strains that have been bred for early flowering in a similar climate

Theres still 14.5 hours of sunlight a day in mid Ontario... seems a little to high to promote flower

It is very strain dependent and also most locations don't receive direct light 14.5 hours a day unless your fortunate enough to grow in an open field

most photos wont show till mid-late august.....remember that they have been triggered at least 10-14 days before you see multiple....pistils showing

I am also in S Alta and have experimented with many strains outdoor.The only ones I have luck with are Dr.Greenthumbs IAF and its crosses.The strait Iranian Autoflower will all finish on time here, the crosses are about 50/50. This year I have 4 of his crosses, two are flowering two are not.Alberta is a tough place to grow outside!

The flavor of the IAF is not my favorite, I am fussy.The yield is all over the place . I have got as little as 3/4 oz up to one time 21oz.I start inside in March .IAf x c99 I have had good luck with. IAF x ogkush problems with early flowering .AFx diesel also 50/50 flowering in Aug..I am also running Dr.Greenthumbs Gold mine, one is flowering one is not. I bring them in my green house in Oct . Those IAF strains can easily handle being snowed upon and up to -4 or- 5 as long as it warms up in the day. Super tough, don't mind bits of cold.Freezing even, especially in the ground,as apposed to a pot.

i had a good one like that the 1st year i grow it could take being covered in snow and i just had to shake it off and the plant keep strong until it finished wish i cloned it and had a mother for it. maybe i will fool around with that and a gorilla strain and see what happens

This will help. Click on a town near you to find your length of day. Strain will determine how long the nights need to be before flowering starts.
