 Summer flowering?

I have a spot cleared in the forest and dug a few holes .etc Now this place doesn't get a whole ton of sunlight but I'm hoping it should be enough for growth.
Now - my question is, in summer, the longest day is just under 14hrs which is just over the flowing day length (12hrs) to my knowledge. And because this is in the forest where it will receive less light, would my plants flower in summer?

My guess is no, because even though it'll be in the shade it wont have that total "darkness" besides the moonlight.

Yeah I had a feeling the ambient light would still be classified as daylight to the plant

Good question. I can't really answer fully.
Strain would have a huge impact on whether or not the plant flowers under such and such conditions. For example sativas flower earlier in the season whereas Indicas later in the season. Some strains are just more photosensitive and will freak flower under 16+hours of light, or may contain ruderalis blood.
12hour days don't mean a plant is going to flower.

Yeah the problem is that I'm growing bag seed  haha
If the seedlings are anything to go by, they are growing taller than a lot of pics I've seen which could mean Sativa but most likely not enough light. Oh well - I guess I'll just have to find out what happens and share my knowledge

Size of the seeds help a bit. Indicas tent to have bigger seeds but this isn't always true.
Fan leaf size helps a lot, indicas can have huge leaves where Sativas are narrow leafed.
