they have to preflower first
then you can flip to 12/12

you could run 12/12 from seed ..... still has to preflower before flower will start

Yes.
But the time from flip till you see buds formation will be week or two longer if plants aren't mature when flipped (showing sex).

Longer veg = more yield. You can flip when you want. With indoor, And especiallyCFL, i would do a lot of topping and training. You want lots of tops as the light does not penetrate well. So Once i had the plants set to where I want them in that, I flip.

If you are running 4 normal 24w CFL, you may want more. You want as much of the plants surrounded by very close CFLs as possible in flower.

Yes it needs to be mature to flower. No it does not need to have preflowers. In any case, yes you can go 12/12 from seed. The more light the better, just keep ahead of the heat.

yes that is why the second part of the comment says ...... you can run 12/12 from seed but the plant will still have to preflower before it will flower
it still has to go through its cycle
regardless if 12/12 from seed or put through a actual veg it still has to mature before flowers will set
