Do I need to See Pistils Before I do 12/12 for flower?

I have 2 plants in solo cups that are getting pretty big, but don't have any pistils. They are feminized

Should I put them into 12/12 to start flowering, or do I need to wait until I see pre flowers (pistils)??

I googled it but was a bit confused. Sorry if its a dumb question!

No. You can flower whenever your heart desires.
Always keep an eye on them just in case a male pops up.

If you are in dirt,decide what size container you want to use and up pot those kids,if indoor you may want to train them down with the 1st net,and add another net abit higher up.try to weave and bend the tops into most the net holes,than cut back the light from 18hr to 12hr

I want to keep them in solo cups for small grow. Don't have the room for huge plants

Atleast transplant first. Since you've got feminized seeds i would take my chances and grow them out under 18/6 before flipping.
Plants from seed will not flower untill sexually mature but mature clones can be flowered at any time. I would honestly up-pot into something bigger. Not only will solo cups give you 20 minuits worth of smoke over a 3 month period, it will also be a pain in the ass for the un-experienced to flower in a solo cup

well,they will not make it for 70 days 12/12..so you can make them small,tie them down with the net..but they will want a volume of soil.

It would be like infant diapers on a 5 year old,if they live in a solo cup
