yea the plants dont need 12/12 to flower. I Dont know why every1 says that. They start flowering once the photoperiod starts APPROACHING 12/12 varying with strain and location. Predom. sativa strains probably need 12/12 to start flowering especially if they are from tropical or equatorial regions where the photoperiod is always right around 12.

They should at least start showing pre flowers soon tho.. they look nice
