it will start to show small pre flowers while the light starts to get shorter, but wont be completely flowering until 12/12 starts.
You can determine sex during this time!

get rid of the males ASAP!

Also they will show signs of preflower before they're into flowering, but wont actually bud until 12 hours of darkness.

Wrong! They will start to bud when the days start getting shorter after june 22, usually near the end of july early aug. Where I grow in Mi., they start to show end of july & are ripe early oct. It's 14.5/9.5 when they start to bud & 12/12 when they are at max ripeness.

I would assume a longer growing season in SD due to the lower Lat
