if you're seeing pistils they're flowering. Every strain is different.

all strain dependent, some will pop in days, some weeks. If you read a flowering time (like breeders give), that is from the first day they got 12 hours of darkness. You can measure it however you want, but if you want to compare it to the standard everyone else is using, go by when you flip 12/12.

Yup if you see white hairs then your flowering. And a two week period of half grow and bloom is normal. I use a 1 to 7 as soon as I see white hairs till the end of life.

the hairs on your girls is prably pre flowers from a 4 week veg period thats not uncommon just means you got it going smoothly and they are more than ready for flowering and congrats on all them being girls lol thats always nice.

my plants show preflowers before i flower them and go into full flowering mode after a few days of being switched to 12/12. This doesnt seem unreasonable to me at all. Your plants were mature and ready to flower. Good job.
