I would say it’s transitional stage, just like from clone to veg. I think the best way to clear this up would be what do you feed your plants and at what times. That would be the case for me. I use vegging notes all through stretch. And I know a lot of other people do to.
Breeders won't respond because its illegal for most to sell as cultivars thats why they sell as souvenirs they should make it more clear though ive been growing for 23 years & always had that problem & if you go by breeders recommendations than you would mark your calendar once you start to see hairs starting to form than you start your flowering schedule hope this helps do a test run your next grow & count the days from first signs of hairs & never go by breeders recommendations thats a guideline you have to remember the bigger the plant the longer it will take to mature plus breeder specs goes by if you have a 100% flawless grow setup much
Don’t muddy the waters. After the flip it’s day one week one of “flowering.” End of story. Personal preferences of when to start count of flowering cycle only confuse people and it also Varys...if you want to try a technique and someone says day 21 of flower, it’s 21 days after the flip. This is the only definite timeline growers can go by unless your talking about a specific cut of a strain you have intimate knowledge on.
Actually your wrong just think of it this way how do we count how many days that a tomato or beans have been blooming? When we see the fruit start growing not when there is ONLY a change in the light cycle outside, weed isn't any different when coming to bloom. The change of the light cycle just tells that plant to start flowering. So technically no your wrong if you were to get ask a Botanist (plant scientist) they would say its when you see the pisils showing after the flip to 12/12.
People can chime in all they like but that doesn’t change the fact that after the flip is day one week one of flowering. That is the count that we go by because that date doesn’t change. Every strain is different but day one week one is the same. Does that mean the plant is flowering on day one week one, no obvious signs. So when you knock your ol lady up do you consider her “pregnant” when you find out 3 weeks later or the day she/he was conceived. You go by the conceived date..
Lol your comparing plants to people it dosnt work that way. You can call after switching to 12/12 day one of flower all you want. I don't care how you count the days, but technically it isn't flowering untill it starts showing pistils. But either way if you count from the day you switch 12/12 or from when pistils show, the plant will be done at the same time as long as you don't chop early.
I’ll knock ur ol lady up, then let me know when she’s fully ripe and we will compare ok?
The timing of that technique is very important and if you do it too late, it hurts yields..I have had very good success with it scrogging.. There are many benefits not just yield, but helps humidity levels at the canopy level as well as air circulation around the tightly compacted bud sites, it helps with light penetration into the canopy etc..for the strains that take to this stress it is very beneficial and timing is crucial because it can stunt growth if done too late.
Stripping your plants of every leaf hurts yields too. Only people I see practicing this shit is IG noobs. Stop giving awful information
Here’s a topic right up your alley
Your a funny guy..Day one, week one of flowering is after the flip though. No one can debate that. Flowering cycle has stages. What stage you consider is irrelevant.
Please show us your grow using your strip the plant technique. It must be amazing since you seem to feel you know all and everyone else's knowledge is wrong in your eyes. We await you're photos.
