cutting a plant from 3' to 6" is going to cause some MAJOR stress...flowering has nothing to do with the size of the plant...the plants are flowering due to the amount of light they're receiving...what you did could actually cause the plants to go hermie because their light cycle hasn't changed...it sounds like you're going to need to veg them inside and then put them outside for flowering at this point in time...you need to get them on a light cycle of 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness or as close as you can get....do some research, the info is all here...but as far as them not gettng fat, they're going to flower regardless of how big or small they are with the light cycle you're currently in...hope this helps. j

since u put them out too early they started flowing wich sucks and my thought is the only way to re veg them is to bring them back inside and give them around 18 hours of light a day but since u have no space inside i guess u did what u had to do. since i dont think they could have revegged outside since there is only abput 15hrs of light a day right now so they probably would have kept trying to flower outside an gone all herm early or somethgin i dont know but. i have accidentally cut most of a plant down before. stayed shocked for a bit then started turning into a crazy bush and did great so i think they can grow out to be a great bush i just hope the stress wont make them turn herm when it comes september which it might good luck there is probably more info in the outdoor section for this year i think i saw a post about someone else making the same mistake
