From my limited experience its natural once they mature. I've noticed sex by about the 8th node or so on virtually all the plants I've grown.

this is normal.when others show sex too change to 12/12.well you can do it whenever you want but i thinkis better.that means they are really mature for flowering

Yeah, you only do this if you want to have plants too big for your house. Depending on the strain, it will grow exponentially during the first two weeks of 12/12. Sativa doms sometimes triple or quadruple in height during that time. Indoors, you're not trying to grow trees, only buds.

Yeah it can be mature at a foot tall.When it starts showing preflowers usually a month in veg it is ready to flower.Flowering at2-3 feet tall will leave you with a 5-6 foot plant.So if you have the height for it go for it.

Unless its an auto flowering strain it wont flower unless u turn the light cycle to 12/12.Thats the advantages about indoor grow you can flower whenever u want to.If height is an issue you can top it but then it will get bushy.

sweet thanx people i just didnt understand why it was flowering if it wasnt on a 12\12 light cycle so it shouldnt start to fully bud?

Idk about others, but my mother plants are continually showing preflowers, so all my cuttings start life with them, they never progress any further as long as they stay in the veg room.
