from the east i can say 5-6 weeks. but the day before the frost is the day she should clip her if it isnt raining. anyway as ussually happens in oct harvest time left till frost but dont be fooled by purple.95% of purple isnt good .usually (phosphorus deficientcy from the cold) is the reason it is purple but it will turn purple this time of year. but for east coast 43 parralell best uvb harvest time is july 15. if there is grass around the plant base rip it up so you wont get bud rot from the morning dew clear about 2feet and its good.

I disagree with tokesalot and Rob,,,,a lot...
Your in pots and that's going to help....
You can keep them outside just fine.....I do every year a few outdoors for my personal stash over the indoor that's always available from my other grows.
I keep mine out and move them under cover (small barn), even the big ones in 20gallon pots, when there will be a frost or late season heavy rain....
Even in the ground, plants can survive light frosts......you can also cover them with a "tailgate" tent and keep the frost off them.
The thing you need to watch is when it gets colder and the plants don't dry out fast enough to not mold......keep them as dry as you can the later it gets in the year......
I run mine right till the trich's "say" done.....This will happen fast so when they first begin to turn "amber" - plan on harvesting the next mourning or they will go to long!
As far as the purple from the temps thing goes.....so what! It's not making much difference in anything at all......We East coasters in the North don't have much choice but to deal with it as far as the temps go......and that plays far more on how the plant yields then the low P.......Use Silica to help regulate P uptake and have less "problem" with P anyway........
UVB and July have no real bearing on this either......Tell me who harvests in July outdoors? Your still getting UV radiation in October and it's doing it's magic just fine!

something with a little p and k should help build flowers. Generally when a plant starts to flower its harder to clone it usually takes a couple weeks longer but never hurts to try though. Just keep in mind evey branch you chop off is one less bud. You can clone them similar to tomatoes but you will have better luck with a rooting hormone. I've been using aloe with good success in a root riot.
