Ok, im a littttle confused about flowering. I here people on this site say that their 3.5 weeks flowering. when i see their pics, i see some decent size buds. well, i started 12/12 2 weeks ago, does that mean im 2 weeks flowering?? Or does that mean im 2 weeks into 12/12? If i were to say im 2 weeks into flowering, would that mean i started seeing blooming nugs 2 weeks ago? and neverind the 12/12 start date?

when you switch to 12/12, or move your plants from the veg room(18/6 - 24/0) to the bloom room (12/12) you are in bloom or flowering..as soon as 12/12 begins

12/12 will force flower. plants will not always start to flower as soon as you go 12/12 though....

when you see flowers (hairs for female, balls for male) flower has started, and you can start your week count ;)

i start my count at 12/12 ...been doing it for years...they always ripen on time...guess it doesn't really matter as long as you watch your trichs..........also my plants always have preflowers before gowing into 12/12...guess it's just me......:blsmoke:

no, that's not just you.

and flowering with preflowers means the first day of 12/12 is the first day of flower :mrgreen: if you didn't have preflowers, your plants would still be in veg until the first day they showed signs of sex (flowers) :p

it's all about the flowers after all ;) why they call it the flowering period :mrgreen:

so then it's been in "flower" for 2 days........even though it's been 12/12 for 2 weeks, if you just saw flowers starting 2 days ago then its been flowering for 2 days..imo

this is crazy...as soon as you put the plant in 12/12...the first night of 12 hours, it begins the flowering cycle....the plant has phytochrome..it uses this to detect light when the plant gets a period of darkness for 12 hours or more it switches into flowering mode....that is when flowering begins....plants get flowers in veg this does not mean they are flowering...i don't start I start counting when they go into 12/12 and so does the plant..... 12/12 starts the flowering process not the presence of flowers...

ok the day you started 12/12 on a timer, you started a different light regime. Thats IT.
the day your bitches show their hairs is the first day of flower. THATS the reason they call it flowering......because flowers appear. (who would have guessed)

i once had an old lady whos mother was convinced that chicks could get pregnant by eating semen. despite all of mine and her daughters efforst she still thinks her way. she is wrong but its her belief. I just want you to know that you are wrong000420. but you are still entitled to your beliefs even so wrong they are.....:P
