i have a streetlight that shines into my backyard not very brightly but it still lights it up. my plants mostly seem to be shadowed from it by a tree, will I have to induce flowering and for anyone from Ontario/Quebec area when would be the best time to do so?

yes, streetlights can be enough to fuck your photoperiod up. Especially since most of the commercial lights use either a HPS or MH bulb.

 i wouldnt recomend it,i didnt shoot that light out because of plants,the fucker was to bright and lit up the inside of our old house so i popped a cap in its arse,it never got fixed either 
just get some of that green mesh shade cloth(they sell it hardware)and maybe double it over,peg some tomato stakes around the plants and make a barrier for the ladies,its good for frost too

The biggest double header needs transplanting so bad! When I see rootbound plants like that it makes me think of how much bigger it could have been by now...
Other than that, looks good! Maybe some closer pics? Are you using fertilizer?
EDIT* Nevermind, I thought that little one in the potter in front was the big double header in back, looks good, no transplanting is needed!
