5 day from Flip still no pistil

Training looks good, and the plant looks pretty healthy and happy. It just needs time lots of time. Take a deep breath and walk away. Messing with it won't make it happen faster, feeding it more won't make it happen faster. It just needs time.
 
My pre flowers after 4 days not a bunch of them on and i vegged for 5 weeks so they had pre flowers before i even flipped but yes be patient you will see it eventually

You wont get preflowers or flowers on a young plant until the node symmetry breaks from symetrical to alternate.

Then preflowers.... then finally flowering.

I flower a lot of young plants :-)

I really try to figure out this first part but I really dont get It so can you please explain little more. :)
So now I wait to see first preflowers..And when do I start Count days when my preflower get hair or?
When do you start count

Thank you. ;)
 
He is saying that the plant must reach genetic maturity before you will see any flowers. If the plant is in veg it will usually begin to show preflowers once it is genetically mature enough to start flower. It will also switch to staggered branches instead of the branches being symmetrical like on a young seedling.

You count once the plants start to form actual flowers. But you should not worry about counting a certain number of days, just grow the plants until they are ready.
 
from my experience if you vegged longer they usually show maturity around week 5-6 of veg. i've never had any showing signs at week 4 yet. i count flowering based on when i flip just to keep an easier tab on them but usually you don't count until the flowers start forming due to the stretch phase which lasts 7-14 days so i've read.

other then that i never flowered too early besides my first grow but that was an outdoor grow it took some time just to pre flower though. i actually thought it was stunted at first but then i came to realize it flowered due to lack of sunlight i was getting.
 
You can't actually flower "too early". You can run plants 12/12 from seedling and they will veg for 5-6 weeks usually and then start to flower. They won't get nearly as large as giving them a proper veg, but they will grow and flower.

Counting from flower formation eliminates this genetic/maturity variable. If you start counting plants at 12/12 then the actual time that they are flowering for can be anywhere from 7-21 days wrong. So your time you count will not be an accurate idea of how long the plants took to fully mature. Breeders time frames can be wildly inaccurate based on the phenotypes of the plant. I actually discourage counting days at all since it's mostly arbitrary. Keeping rough track of the weeks won't hurt, but it won't make them finish at a certain time, it will only be a future reference for yourself if you continue to run clones of that plant.

You can train whenever. I fold branches over all the time on flowering plants...Paranoid types claim the stress will cause "hermies"...
Poppycock I say.

Looking good there too. Don't let a patience deficiency develop.

Lol I like that. Patience is one of the hardest parts of this beloved process.
 
You most likely shocked the plant when you switched to 12/12 it will start showing signs of sex within 2 weeks. When mine are ready for flower In the last week before I flip I take an hour a day of light till I hit 12/12 and 9 times out of 10 it's showing the sex before 12/12 begins. I find it dosnt stress them out this way.
