When should I switch to flowering

[Hodgey420]

1st grow !
Growing outdoor in Chilliwaxk BC Canada
Both plants hybrid scout master and sour diesel
Growing in 5 gallon pots with sunshine #4 aggerated plus professional growing mix
Been growing since may 15th is when transplanted them into sunshine #4 and sdid 1st feeding with GH flora series nutes micro/gro/bloom
Scoutmaster is 2'9ft tall
Sour diesel is 2'6ft tall
Weather keeps changing get 2 or 3 days of 75-80 then cloudy and rainy days its 50-60 and theres been alot more cloudy rainy days then sun this summer
So should i leave them let them flower on there own or should i start flowering earlier since there in 5 gallon pots worried bout rootbound or will they be fine in 5 gallon pots and let them flower on there own when the days start getring shorter

There’s definitely some of your fellow Canadian outdoor growers around here. Hopefully one of them will stop by with some advise.

Also welcome to 420, I notice your fairly new, like myself, around these parts.

I don’t have any experience with hard plastic pots, only fabric pots and I used 7 and 25 gallon. If it was me I would up pot if I was able. You have a fair amount of vegging time left then stretch. I would think the plants would be very root bound in 5 gallon plastic by the end of the season.
If you are able to let them flower naturally and could bring indoors or cover when weather was bad to protect buds later on that would be ideal.
Beautiful plants by the way!

I like to taper bloom nutes in at start of stretch and taper out veg nutes as it progresses for the first few weeks. Its definitely not to late to add a little more on the next to be safe

I’m in Ontario.

I did the transition for a week to transition the v3g nutes out so hopefully a week was long enough

You are probably fine I would just keep an eye on it and if you notice any yellowing early, just add some more.
