Flowering Mid to late August when would one expect to see preflowers? Now Im guessing?

I know, it's weird. Sep 25 it turns 12/12. Indoors you do 12/12 because it's not in its natural eneironment, so we give it "extra" of everything to make up for it. Also because it trigers a faster start to flowering.
They will actually start flowering at around 14 1/2 hrs outside. They should be done sep 25th if you have a 45 or 50 day flowering plant.

I guess, when comparing sunset/rise times, it should be more of an eleven hours difference, since there's practically no light in the first half an hour of a sunrise and the last half an hour of a sunset. That would land you in August, like people said.

Northern hemisphere mid August.

Northern hemisphere is a big area. There is quite a difference in day lengths between Mexico and, let's say, Buffalo.

I'm in N.E. Ohio and all of mine are budding right now. my avatar is a blueberry which was taken early last week and has quarter size buds as well as my white widow, afghani mazar, g-13 haze, power skunk, #1 skunk, blz bud, and thia skunk. so to answer your question, I guess it depends on where you're at. mine budded early this year and no, they are no autoflowers. been cool this summer and had rained alot earlier this month, so.......
