Pre flower growth spurt on shunted autos?

My autos were massively shunted as we started them indoors and they werent doing well.We moved them outside and have started becoming much healthier.
25th may they were 85cm and not that bushy, 30th may they are now 99cm tall, much bushier and more potent , ive attached photos of both dates…have they had a pre flower growth spurt ??
These are 15 weeks old autos & taking an age now , but do believe as they didnt have a great start were shunted

They look like they scratched a lot while indoors. Maybe a lighting issue? What kind of light indoors? If they were Autos with good light they probably should be in flower stage by now. Not sure on the shunted question. They look much better now in second pics. Still look in Veg stage bulking up. 12/12 light switch might be in order to get them to flower. Good luck! Happy Growing!

They were in a tent for 8 weeks under a large spider farmer LED light 18/6 cycle, it was colder up there though, than it is outside currently & they were like midgets still and no real growth.
Moved them outside , and they have come on loads , natural light 18/6 still currently , feeding advanced nutrients as needed , humidity around 45% , daytime temps around 22- 26c with plenty of airflow .
Not sure how i can change the light cycle with them being outdoors & they are too big to move them indoors now as my tents not big enough :see_no_evil:
Think im just going to have to keep letting them do their thing & hope they flip very soon

Sounds like a plan to me! They do look much better outside though! :v:

The colder temps can set them back a bunch.

Topping, training, and/or supercropping may be in your future to manage size or find a way to cut the light exposure.
Perhaps consider taking some clones that can be brought indoors where you can control the light.

Everything that @HMGRWN said. Good idea with the clones. :face_with_spiral_eyes:





Still going, this is after being stripped back a few weeks back as they were getting so big …but have grown back bushier than ever .
Finally looking like they might be ready to flip stages.
