It's just how it's done. You turn your lights to a flowering schedule and start counting the days. It's how it's done.So why does a mature plant start to flower immediately and immature plants might take 3 weeks to throw the first preflower.i think starting the clock the minute you flip is counter productive.some plants in seed just take longer to begin to flower than others.i have 2 ghost OG right this minute that look about 6 weeks apart that were flipped the same day.one didnt' start to even throw hairs till 3 weeks after flip.the other started right away and looks like it has 2 weeks left.i would never count seeded plants flowering period after the flip.some just take longer.take a clone from the same slow ass plant and it will begin to flower alot sooner after flip because the plant has matured.so your saying even though it will take 2 weeks less now because it' a clone I should still expect the plant to go 13 weeks cause the seeded one took 13 weeks after I flipped it.lol come on man that don' make any sense.ALOT of growers start the weeks after the first preflowers appear.if a plant isn't ready to flower it might take an extra 2 weeks before it even begins to pre. flower.
I use to count from the days after I flipped but it was inconsistent from clones of already finished plants and ones from seeds.irs way easier for me.to schedule my grows now from the weeks after I see the first hairs after flip.
'If it ain't broke, then don't fix it'. It's like putting on your pants one leg at a time. If you try to put both legs in at once you end up looking foolish.
