Im new to growing, but since no one else posted, I will try and help. I don't advice poking a stick through, but if there are bud sites growing, she is flowering, and the only thing you can do is wait. If you were trying to get it to go into flowering from vegetative, you would need to alter the amount of sunlight, but being outdoor that may be difficult. Try using some bloom boosting nutes. Fox Farm Tiger Bloom is what I was using, or else something with less nitrogen and more of the others. Boost the plants with nutes, but be sure not to overdue it, start with 1/3 or 1/2 the recomended doses, but get some quality nutes pumping through her and it will boost the buds ! Hope that helped, any more questions and I will try my best to answer them.

That's good advice.:thumbsup:
Outdoors, the sun is "calling the shots".

Some low-strength bloom nute will help, but what is most required here, is patience.:)
No worry, sounds like she's right on time.

N.E. U.S. outdoors, just started budding last week.

N.E weather sucks man but do as the the 1st guy posted with the nutes,look for some with an n.p.k of 0-10-10 or higher just cut out the nitrogen,your looking at a harvest at about halloween time or a bit later just chop her before frost comes,but since you have it in a shed type deal the frost may not be a probem,and if the frost is coming and there just not that ripe yet get a plug in heater and place it next to the plant,as to keep the frost from doing harm...you always have better odds if your plants can be sheltered like they are.the sun is in charge with budding but you have to make the choices to protect her..

Just to toss this option out, you could cover the plant with a black bag, but giving it plenty of air from underneath for 1 day of light. This will trick the plant into thinking the light cycle is getting shorter and will begin to bud.
