14 hours is the least you can get away with. If you are using sunlight for your veg, adding a few CFL's to extend the day will work. Or you can turn on the lights for an hour at midnight.

The length of darkness is what triggers flowering. You can make the dark shorter by doing lights at sunset or before daylight. Or you can fool the plant into thinking there are two short nights by turning on the light at midnight. Either one will work. The light at sunset or sunrise would be less stressful to the plant.
