i believe the flowering cycle will be when the longest day of the year passes by i believe its june 21st here not sure about everywhere else but that is why when you do an indoor grow they need 12 hours of darkness the plants think the days are getting shorter. not totally sure but i believe that is it

June is when the days will start to get shorter. Where I live the days wont be near 12/12 untill september. It's a little different everywhere though. Also, plants can trigger budding weeks before the light gets completely to 12/12. Here is a website to show the length of day light in any region of the world. All you have to do is type in a city close by you. Enjoy!

Most strains begin budding about August 1st, give or take a week.
On the equinoxes, the entire plant has a day of 12/12.
The Summer and Winter solstices vary from zero to 24 hour days, depending on which pole you're standing on.
Where I live, my longest day is a bit short of 15 hours and shortest a bit more than 9 hours.
12/12 isn't required to initiate budding.
Just an extended period of day length reductions. Usually five or six weeks, outdoors.
