gold country.....That looks to be out in you bet or green horn area the 140 footer..I can tell by the ridge in the background..

Kind of sad looking out at the old hydro mining areas of you bet and greenhorn creek, whole ridges washed away, the land raped of soil. But it’s part of the history of gold country. Down at the yuba river bridge off highway 20 in smartsville is a neat spot where the river basin starts to widen and flatten out you can see alot of the old ore left behind from the hydro mining..such a history, theres old mining relics and mine shafts all throughout them hills.gold country.....

Here’s a couple good references for a true scrog:
If u get day 21 veg u shouldnsee pistles anyway maturity and they csn show sexYea, I know that dude, just wondering how people count there flowering, like from 12/12 or when they see pistils.
Thanks for input tho, appreciate it.
True, most will show their sex between the 5th and 8th node in veg on average but not every strain is this way...but when grown indoors we start counting flowering time after the flip day one week one.If u get day 21 veg u shouldnsee pistles anyway maturity and they csn show sex
That is just false hope. Most strains are not properly finished in 8 weeks from flip. A few strains might get done that quickly.Mmm
Most strains from flip are ready to harvest 8-10 weeks.

Most cultivars need 10-11 weeks from the flip also known as 9-10 weeks of actual flowering time.
Many hybrid varieties need 11-12 weeks of actual flower time or 12-13 from flip. And heavy sativa dominant genetics can easily take 14 or more weeks

Oh, it takes that long for you? I remember those days when I didn’t know what I was doing, keep reading and asking questions here and maybe one day you too can get your harvest times down like the pros.That is just false hope.

Lmao your funny, no I grow for quality not just speed of harvest so I actually believe in letting plants finish properly. Been doing it a long time with thousands of plants under my belt to prove myself thanks. I also have taken the time to actually try out lots of different genetics, and actually observe their growth habits and life processes. I stopped counting days or weeks many years ago, its irrelevant 98% of the time because even if I'm growing on a schedule, I'm gonna harvest the plants when they are ready not according to a calendar.Oh, it takes that long for you?

My general rull of thumb for hassle free is if its an 8 week strain i grow 9 weeks from 12/12 switch...its normally right on the money sometimes off by a week or so..but just check trichomes around the end of the grow..I was wondering how do you count the flowering days.
Do you count from 12/12 switch from 18/6
Or
Do you start counting flowering days when you first see pistils?
I always have started counting the flowering period from when I see the first pistils, however I recently have seen a few people counting flowering period from when they switch from 18/6 to 12/12.
see I figured if I switch from 18/6 to 12/12 then it takes a further 10 days for the plant to show sex and I counted them days as the flowering period,that means I could harvest 10 days early as I counted them 10 days as flowering perid, just when the plant will put its weight on in the last 2 weeks.
I hope that makes sense.
Please Feel free to contribute to the thread & leave comments.

Sure there is a transitional period and biologically the plants hormones are changing rapidly with that flip to 12/12.Biologically flowering begins once the plant has began to form flowers though , not by some arbitrary number on a calendar when you changed the lights. I like little boys. The plant doesn't magically change indoors from outdoors, and plants aren't considered flowering outdoors until you can see they are forming flowers.
Be careful, this master grower had 3 greenhouses but grows in a 3x3 under Amazon blurples for fun now. He knows his shit manLmao your funny, no I grow for quality not just speed of harvest so I actually believe in letting plants finish properly.

There are lots of people like yourself that might chop plants early at 8 weeks from flip, but there are not many plants that are properly finished in that time.
So that's where I'm at as to when to count flower time. Don't because it really doesn't matter in the big picture. You should be feeding a plant based on its needs not a calendar, and you should be harvesting plants when they are ready, not when a calendar or the "breeder"(pollenchucker?) says it was ready for them.
