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…

They'll flip... Only issue depending on where you life is if they'll have enough time to finish before it gets too cold. ..

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:

Next year maybe grow autos. I'm in northern Alberta and started mine indoors June 1 then transplant outside into the ground and they're done by around the middle of Sept. Was getting 6+oz per plants trimmed dry weight and almost that in sugar trim.

Didn't do any this year because of a hemp farm five miles away pollinating them the year before but looks like they didn't grow any hemp this year so need to call and see what's happening for next year and get some out if no hemp again.

These are the seedy ones from '22 so didn't get as big as the year before.

I was impressed by the 2 northern lights autos I chopped yesterday…nice fat sticky buds. They were super easy to grow. I had them potted as I was in the process of moving but maybe go into a raised bed next year.

Further on this…. After a few days of rain and cold weather at night I fear I will have to chop a couple plants. They are 6-7 weeks after flip and I noticed some Bud rot I believe. Too bad they started late as the crop is heavy.
