* The amount of lighting varies by plant type. However, a general rule would be more than 12 hours of darkness for short-day plants, less than 12 hours of darkness for long-day. while the above answer may work as a rule of thumb it is far from accurate. the term long-day or short-day is not a specific number of hours even if you are looking at the same plant variety or even the same plant itself. the term is relative. a shift to longer nights (resulting in shorter days) which happens in winter will signal to a short-day plant to bloom and the other way round for long-day plants. note i pointed out the lengthing or shortning of the dark period relative to the light period as the signal. zaf.

Front lighting.. back lighting.. cross lighting and down lighting are all terms used to describe?

Short answer: Angle. Let us assume we are illuminating a human on a theater stage. Front lighting are the fixtures that point to the front side of the human when they are standing towards the audience. Back lighting is the opposite. That means the light fixtures which are pointing to the back of the human. Cross lighting is when two, or more, lighting fixtures point at the human from varying places. For example, if there's both, front light and back light, those can be considered as cross lighting. Also, to illuminate the front side of a human completely, you usually need at least two lighting fixtures for that, one slightly to the left and one slightly to the right side of the human. This is also called cross lighting. Down lighting is light coming from up (ceiling) and going down. This is as opposed to up lighting, which is when a light fixture is on the floor, pointing upwards. Generally, most of theatrical lighting comes from up, thus being down lighting, but for a special effect, down lighting can be used too.

What is the difference between the flash and continuous lighting and why not using continuous lighting for photography?

Continuous light is just what the name implies, light that is on constantly. There are a few kinds of continuous light, tungsten, fluorescent, HMI and LED are the most common. It would take a pretty detailed conversation to explain lighting in detail but here's a short answer. What matters is the source of the light and how it is modified. A direct flash can be very hard but if it is bounced into an umbrella it becomes soft. A fluorescent light is soft by nature and can be diffused further. If you have the money to get the right lights, you can get great light from almost any light source. It all depends on what you want to accomplish. The clarity depends on the quality of the light you are using. If you state what you want to do then it is easier to give you advice on what kind of light to get.
