I have hairs on my bf liberty haze and she is in veg on 20/4 lighting.
Hairs do not indicate flowering. It says the plant is sexually mature.
10-14 days after flip is when it would be wise to start.
If you count at the first sight of hairs you are prolly going to harvest to early or complain about a long flowering peroid.

Some old heads wait until actually buds popping up. Like white balls on the colas.
To each his own.

I agree , I wait till I see pre flowers after I flip em to 12/12 sometimes they already have shown pre flowers when I flip so those start budding after 3-5 days! and to harvest trichromes are the way to go!

.Why not N till the end?
A big boost to bring out the most is a very good thing.
Maximizing is the key not just settling for what ever you get or
whatever happens I believe.

you are in flower the very second you change your light cycle.

I'm a firm believer that it takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on maturity and genetics for a plant to begin to flower after the lights are switched. Its not an instant thing! Most nutrient bottles and feed schedules even refer to this as the "transition period". Indoor growers in particular seem to think they are gods of their garden and when they switch the lights the plants instantly change. It takes some time.
A mature clone will usually begin to flower within 4-7 days of a light change. Though some sativas may still take longer even if they are mature.
Now an immature plant will likely take much longer, often 12-14 days, again though sativas can take longer. An immature sativa dominant plant might take 3-4+ weeks to begin to flower even with the light change.
Take a look at the 12/12 from seed grows that some people do. Most times it takes several weeks of "veg" growth before the plants begin to flower at maturity even if they are under 12/12 lighting.
Outdoor plants undergo the exact same transition, it just gets over looked more easily because there isn't a light controller.
