Ok, so I got some Ganja dwarf auto seeds from ams, and it came with 20 free seeds.I only planted a couple of the mystery seeds and both ended up being female sativas.the thing is, that I'm growing in Minnesota and its outdoors.I've heard rumors that sativas cannot fully flower outdoors in such a climate.any advice?i would really appreciate anyone's advice. :weed:

Yes I realize this, but they were free seeds.I'm looking for advice about what I can do with the plants I have.
Thanks.

Yeah I feared that would be my only option.I don't like the idea of covering them with a bag though, I could just move them into a pitch black shed at night for twelve hours to achieve the same effect right?

Or if I let it go on without forcing, then could it even possibly have time to flower?Is it worth the risk?

yeh man if you have them in pots rather then in the ground, it would be much easier to just move them to a dark place
If its not going to finish in time then you might aswell force it, because you wouldn't want to harvest premature buds, atleast this way you will have some nice ripe buds

Yeah lol they're each about 15 inches, in 3 gallon pots.so thats what ill prolly do.my lowryder 2 crop will be ready in just about a month too.so ill have a decent supply while I wait for the sativas.

One more question though, if you force a plant into flowering before the length of day reaches 12/12, will it revert back to veg if the nighttime covering isn't continued once flowering has started?like...will I need to keep bringing them in until its 12/12 or can I leave them out once flowers start?

They need to stay at 12/12 if you want them to mature properly. It IS possible for them to go back to veg. This usually isn't a bad thing, as it sometimes creates monster buds, but in your case, I would say get them flowering asap. Like MasterHemp said, you wouldnt want to harvest premature budz :)
