It ranges a bit, about a month, give or take. It can very between strains and of course grow condition and environment.

i read on here the other night that they technically have no veg phase - that they go from seedling to flower - so they only want the flowering lights if i understand correctly.. am i right?

ive found that most of mine started flowering from the fourth node, they are easy bud from royal queen ( i believe ak47 x lowryder 2 ) i have 4 on the go under a 250w HPS with 2 x 75w cfls as sidelights. I grew lowryder 2 a few months back under the same setup and they did the same apart from 1 which got 4ft tall LOL, as far as i no they do have a veg/seedling cycle which lasts no longer than 3/4 weeks

they VEG for 2 weeks in optimal conditions and after the 2 weeks they rapidly start flowering .. all on 20/4 light schedule from seed to harvest

As far as I understand you can't if they are a true auto-flowering plant. You can't re-veg them. You can clone them but they are going to start and end flowering the same time as the mom.
Maybe you are thinking a staggered harvest? Like harvesting the main cola when it is ready and leaving the lower bud sites to mature and put on a bit more weight.
