OK – I’m trying to get a grip on my flowering time. Yes, I’m a newbie and ask too many questions. When do I say, “Yep, we’re flowering?” The day I start counting?

I don’t know what others do…
I keep track of the number of days since flipping to flower schedule but I don’t use that information for anything but a rough guideline for nutrients. I don’t worry about how many days my plants have been flowering.

I have not grown autos yet but will be dropping a couple of auto seeds soon. I will start flowering nutrients about 10 days after they show pistils.

I usually start “counting” when there are distinct pistil clusters or “buttons” on the tops. What you are showing in the pictures is simply showing definite sex of plant. Not quite pre-flower yet.
