Outside, in 30 odd years of growing, they have always started flowering before the end of August (except this year, funnily enough), sometimes as early as late July.
So, in other words they have started flowering at 15/9 or 14/10 (light/dark), if you wait till 12/12 (September 21st), outdoor plants would never finish.
I suppose this is due to the Indica %, as tropical Sativas are on 12/12 year round.
Just a few random thoughts.
All good things
