No, you can flower anytime you want, but remeber, less veg. time equals less yeild.
If you're growing from seed, there is a 50/50 chance it will be female, but I strongly believe if you took good care of your plants and the dark period was 100% dark, then your chances of females is better.
If you're growing from a clone though, you know it's a female, so flower whenever you want to.
Also, if growing from seed, they won't flower period until they are sexually mature, no matter what you do with the photoperiod, and they don't become sexually mature for 3-4 weeks after sprouting. That is, their sex isn't even determined until then, so they can't have female flowers before then, because they don't even know if they ARE female until then.
Okay, I am growing from seed and the reason I asked this particular question was because I need to be able to hide a lot of small plants. Anyway. This would work correct?: If I waited until I could see the hairs and then took a clone from the mother plant, I could root it and in essence, make an exact copy of it, only shorter?
That's right, and you can flower the clones at will once they have a root system, because they are genetically the same age as the mother plant and thus sexually mature.
Most clones that are put in a SOG are given 1 week of veg and then flowered. Usually most SOG gardens from seeds are grown till the grower feels they are tall enough and would meet there expectations then most brances are cut off except the ones they want left, usyally around 7-8 branches. A ScrOG uses the same method but most growers LST their plants right below the screen and then let them grow up through the net. I find that going ScrOG is much more effective than SOG because it is more effective (to me at least).

You can tell Kush is a stoner by sentences such as: "I find that going ScrOG is much more effective than SOG because it is more effective.." *snicker*

Say, how big do you think a clone might come to be if vegged until 6 inches, then flowered?
I started my hydrobubble clones on 12/12 when they were 6 and 8 inches. In 10 days they are now 25 1/2 and 24 inches respectively. They are from a bagseed mom, some kind of mexican mix. I vegged my clones for 24 days, next time I'll veg them for seven.
I got some skunk seeds out of a bag I bought.. really nice. The smell is awesome too, but damn is it potent. That's one I'm trying to get going now. Been having trouble with it but hopefully this one will sprout. How long do they usually take to sprout?
