thanx, any idea why she already got pre-flowers and showed me she is indeed a female, it can be that long before she starts flowering, i didnt force preflowers she jus did it on her own!!!

, it can be that long before she starts flowering,

no, most will flower with way less than 12 hours darkness, as little as 8 even
