Do you have the hedgehogs at your bud sites yet? If you have a pic that would be great!

I normally start the week count for flower around 2-2.5 weeks from flip. Depending on the development of the bud sites

You should see plant start start to flower around 10 to 14 days after flip. At that point day one. Good luck

I’ll use that as a reference point and be looking for trichome colors 8 or 9 week’s from then and then theres still another month plus, a week or so drying then at least 2 weeks curing and love every minute of it.

Flower generally starts 14-16 days after flip when pistils begin to cluster.

Flowering generally starts 2 weeks after you flip them. They get 2 weeks of 12/12 to change from veg mode to flower mode, then flowering starts after that. If a plant has a 10 week flowering period, that 10 weeks starts after the 2 weeks flip cycle.
Some plants will produce flowers exactly 2 weeks after you flip to a 12/12 cycle, others show flowers a few days after (just depends on the actual strain).

This like so many topics are “subjective”. Supposedly as soon as you flip to 12/12 they start producing hormones required for flower so flip date would be the start. I prefer to count starting from flip. Some a week or two in, others after stretch etc. You will get lots of conflicting answers so just use what date you prefer.

I’ll let 7 days go by and then I’ll mark that following week as week 1 its only to give me a bit of a reference point anyways, so when i see on calendar I’m closing in on week 8 and 9 i will begin taking a closer look at the telltale signs thanks for your imput.
