If its been on 12/12 since sprout and it gets 12/12 when moved outside then it will flower when its mature enough.

Running 12/12 you can't put into flowering!!!!! It allready is and the plant will bloom as it wishes..dependant on variety and enviroment..Check secound internode from top for pre-flower's so you can sex them. read-up!! 12" should have a minimun of 6 set's of leaf nodes and small branching growing out...to top? to lollypop? Read Read Read, here are typical 10-12" vegeing with Co2 (hanging) these allready showed female! Check your plant's out!.

You don't have any control over flowering times when growing outdoors! They just start blooming in august when the days get shorter! and the outdoor photoperiod is more like 14/10 now.

Even if they don't get direct sunlight 2 hours out of the day it will still get enough light to prevent it from premature blooming. It has to be at least as dark as a full moon at night to do that.
1993stoner: That's interesting... is that true all the time for outdoor growing and only outdoor grows? Whats the difference with inside SOG grows where you can go straight into 12/12 right after rooting?

There is a trick to get your plants to flower in the spring by starting them indoors under 24 hour light and then putting them outside as early as possible. Where I live that is about April 15th. You can just search the average date of last freeze for your area.
I don't actually recommend this technique. I discovered it on accident one year. It will compromise your yeild and cause other problems and your plants may revert to veg stage when days get longer.
