Technically,the title says it all.How many years old is a VFT when it sprouts a flower(in complete sun,8+ hours)?

Typically around 3ish. I had one go from seed to flower in about 18 months, but it was still a small plant with a small flower stalk that got cut. Strangely enough, it isn't a great divider, I've only got six divisions from it, and has stayed on the small side. However, 4 of the six are putting up little, tiny flower stalks again. Here's two of them.

Flowering age really depends on genetics, but what @ChefDean said is generally true. I did have one plant start flowering right after it germinated -- like within 2 or 3 months of germination. I let the flower go just to see what would happen! It actually produced a single flower which I self-pollinated. It set seed and I put those in tissue culture. Each of the babies also started flowering almost immediately after germination! Bizarre!!

Oh wow!Yeah,forgot to mention mine is a death-cube size plant that came from a death-cube about a month ago but I do not know the age of it,so only time,a keen eye and patience will tell .
