hey people, basic question: when exactly do i start counting the days for flowering time (because the plant vegs for a few weeks anyway)? or would i have to watch the trichomes for colour instead of counting days? much appreciated!

You want to get a hand-scope and use the state of the resin hairs,
as they go from clear to cloudy to amber. Cloudy == Ready

The number of days is an estimate and is usually short...probably
because perfect conditions were not maintained.

Good luck,

JD

I would like to know also.
Is there anything that signals first of flowering,maybe not first day but around the beginning of flowering?

I don't even count veg time when growing 12/12fs,only from the time i first see pistils.Veg time is usually 2.5-3.5weeks,Flowering has been 59-70days.Start checking trichomes after half pistils are red or about day 56 of flower.GL.

12/12from seed we don't usually see alternating nodes BUT alternating nodes are a sign flowering is close...that make sense?:eyesmoke:

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this on the boards, but if you guys are struggling to decide who you're ordering your seeds from, then I'd like you to take a look at this thread which is an experience I had with Sea of Seeds regarding a "faulty" order.

If you don't wish to click it, then a quick summary would be:

The seeds I ordered were labelled wrong on the website, the site has now been updated and on my next order, I'll be given branded free seeds(such as G13 Labs, Dinafem, Mr Nice etc) either complimenting or replacing the actual freebies, I'm not entirely sure how it'll work, but it's still fucking awesome!

I had 2 northern light seeds 4-12-13 started germ 1 week apart.Had 3 buckets going.
Got a odor from somewhere,changed buckets out 3 times started using aquashield(I think) odor never came back any more.
Long about that same time we had that defoliation talk so I hit 1 harder than I ever had the other just a little tiny bit.
The 1 I hit hard seemed to stall or maybe it had to do with all the bud sites that came,but the other 1 passed it in growing.
I harvested the 1 I took just a few leaves from,it was like I wanted it.
The 1 I hit hard,I checked the trics man it looks like I still got a week or 2 to go.
Now the question is I've had it on just water for 2 days,it's still green (wish I could do pictures) should I put reg nutes back in or
just leave it on water,add kool bloom or what to feed it now?
Thanks for any & all help.

That defoliating did add the bud sites everywhere,but I don't want them.To many leaves came with them.I would
have had to cut 25 leaves a day at least just to keep up cause aint no way to get light though all of them leaves.
When the lights go out in an hour & half I am going to try the picture again.

I have found that 12/12 from seed is silly. From what I've observed, my plants seem to start flower at about 18 days in. So what I've started to do is 24 hour light for the first 2 weeks, then switch to flower when it would have done it anyway. This gives you a plant that is much bigger when it starts flowering and in the same amount of time.

I would say that is 100% true but what if you are going perpetual like a lot of people do when running 12/12 from seed? Well the 2nd round starts while you still have plants flowering and a veg cycle isn't an option. If you aren't running fem seeds then you also get to deal with growing up and transplanting regular seeds, you need the resources and space to do that as well. I think I'll just stop thee, you apparently already know all the ins and outs of growing. There's a handful of reasons people grow 12/12 from seed. The only "silly" thing here is your post.

Calm the fuck down lol no reason to go off. Obviously everyone here grows completely different individually. I was just saying that way is the most efficient. Well, I guess it would upset you to say MOST efficient so I'll say MORE efficient.
