I've seen a few guys on here that had their seeds confiscated at the border, and got nothing more than a letter from customs, stating that they confiscated. Nothing else. Think about it, thousands of seeds get shipped here every month, and for the law to go and track down people who ordered them, would be ridiculously expensive. I wouldn't be worried, unless you are a kingpin ordering a pile of seeds.lol Then, they'd have good reason to track you down. I have no idea what the penalty is, so can't say what would happen if you did somehow get caught. Probably a couple hundred dollar fine, and some probation.
If you bag them, you'll see preflowers before the two week mark. If you give them 48 hours darkness, it might happen a little sooner. IDK, never tried it, but some guys swear by it. I don't like confusing them any more than I have to, so I go straight to 12/12, and skip the 48 hour thing. Plus, I grow perpetual, so it isn't an option. I usually see preflowers shortly after the first week, so a couple days isn't worth the added stress, IMO.
