Starting seedlings indoors in February for an outdoor crop isn't unusual at all.
The concentration of THC as a function of number of bud sites isn't a rule at all. It's a matter of genetics and care. Breaking off bud sites after about 2-3 weeks before the light cycle dips below 12/12 will not only NOT increase THC, it will decrease overall final yield of the plant.
