When do you start counting?

I see people use very specific number of days flowering, and I am wondering how people calculate that.
Is it the day you switch to 12/12?
Is when you first see flowers?

12/12 flip is day one for me. Flipped mine 4/16 cutting them down next weekend

The official start of bloom for photoperiod plants is when pistils start forming to make buds, after about 2 weeks of 12/12 lighting. Sometimes, pistils will show before the light change; these are just showing sexual maturity and aren’t necessarily signs your plant is in bloom.
