Outdoor Pistils and Flowering Times

Hey all, I just noticed pistils on all four of my backyard plants. I know that outdoor growing is a totally different ballgame, so I was wondering which of the following two is the reason I'm seeing pistils:

• The days are getting shorter and so flowering is initiating. I find this tough to believe because the longest day of the year was June 20th, not really that long ago.
• Or....the seed was germinated in late-April, and because the plants are over 10 weeks old, they're flowering because they're maturing, and not because of reduced sunlight.

So if I'm seeing pistils now, does that mean my plants are 8-10 weeks away from harvest, or are the rules different outside? I can't imagine they'll all be done from early to mid September, but I guess that's why I joined the RIU community to learn from.

I've attached pics of three of them (Strawberry Amnesia, Blueberry Cookies and Black DOG), but the pistils are so small on my Humboldt Dream that it was hard to get a pic. Thanks in advance.

Hey mods, I just realized I should have posted to the Outdoor forum, so I just reposted my question there.
Feel free to remove this thread from the forum. I tried to delete it but I think I passed the time limit. Thanks.

I see them in veg every time. Even indoors. It is a sign of maturity

Ok, that helps. Thanks.
