you can keep the plants in vegetative state for as long as you want, you should start inducing flowering after 2 months. But you can really flower any time you want, some people flower straight from seed.

It is up to you. Are you gonna top the plant? If so you're gonna need time for that. I usually top at the 3rd node and again at the 3rd again. Then I put her in flower. That takes about 2 or so weeks.

2 weeks is a minimum, they will veg for 2 weeks whether under 12/12 or not. 3 or 4 weeks are most common. I do 3.

You also have to ask, "weeks from what?" Some measure from seed, some from germinated seed and some from sprout. It can be a week from seed to sprout so it matters. Best to take a shot, keep records and develop your own preference over time.
