Imo it should have started budding by now, especially in Northern Ontario. Could you have a light from anywhere around you that's on the plants at night? Or have you seen any flowering stretch yet?

If you can put them in dark for 24 hours, that will trigger flowering.

The flowering stretch is when the plant switches to flowering and during the first two weeks, the plant goes through explosive growth. However looking at size of buckets you have then in and size of plants, I wouldn't expect to much growth. The purple can be genetics or a lot of people would say it's Phytoplasma disease.

and yea my yeild wont be that big i know but next year their going into the ground

Purple blotches on the leaves/flowers is phosphorous deficiency: either from lockout secondary to low pH( binds to iron or Ca), or can happen during rapid stretch and flowering. You can tell it’s P deficiency because it affects the bottom of the plant first, and works its way up. Purple stems just genetics. Phytoplasma is fairly rare.
Check pH first because if it’s low, then dumping P into plant won’t be as effective as raising pH to free the existing P.
What fertilizer do you use?
