hey man you should have of started them inside under some cfl lights on 24/7 for about 3-4 weeks then put them outside and they would start to flower....but you didnt no biggie,you may or may not get a harvest but if you do, it wont be much from each plant but it will be better than nothing....some of the people here are kinda to into themselves <mostly some kids who think they know everything.....but as you said its an experiment...i started one begining of august and its about a foot tall now......

but please post whats going on with your hobby people will respond and give advice,just ask for it.....and dont mind the rudeness...\

and you say you have till the end of oct so you should get something....

but if you can take those cups inside get a few cfl lights from wal-mart and a clamp light and some y connectors plug it in and let them veg under the lights for a few weeks then put them outside either in the ground or in 3 gallon pots,etc.....

good luck with your grow i will follow along as much as i can and give advice if im able to...there are people here who been doing this for many years and know there shiznit......i know the basics and then some and learn more every year/grow....no one knows everything....

GOOD LUCK

and yeah save those seeds for next season,dont waste them this yr...unless you grow indoors stay with the ones you got and hope for the best
