Starting to count flowering when you change your light schedule is kinda like saying your gf is pregnant before you have sex, I don't even count preflower as flower. Your flowering period must be looong.
Did my female get pregnant?

I'm so lost, but it's ok.I like when people debate different views on here because it forces me to learn from you. Thank you all so much for your wonderful input, means the world to me.So doc, give Yer calyxes a good squeeze and you'll know at this stage for sure, and judging by your pics I am quite sure by what you have said you aren't breeding. I could be wrong but I'm 90% you've got sensimillia there. And your plants are looking really good for a first timer by the way.
Well done rookie!!!! We all have panick attacks and I still do so its normal man.

The flower days are from 65 to 80 Or 90. I couldn't find a hermie anywhere but the autos I have drying do have a bit of seed in them.

So just squeeze the swollen female parts to see if there is seeds?So doc, give Yer calyxes a good squeeze and you'll know at this stage for sure, and judging by your pics I am quite sure by what you have said you aren't breeding.

Yep just the calyxes! If they are hard you have seeds of not you don't.

ok how's this, how can tou possibly count flipping your lights as flowering stage?
It's not, flowering is a stage of hormonal change for the plant and there are physical changes that denote it, preflower is not flower either as its the plant just showing its sex.
Flower is when the pistils begin to show and are ready for pollination. It's simple, has nothing to do with flipping. Flipping is just the catalyst which causes the hormonal changes.
I don't look at the sun and say well now there's less light so it's now in flower,
No I wait until I see flowers forming until I say it's flowering!
Common sense man. It's not rocket science!

Have you ever heard about the stretching the a plant goes through once flowering is induced? Well since you don't start counting til after the stretch, you must not be getting 2x-3x stretch. I have spoke with others that count the same way you do. But all the literature I have come across and my personal experiences tell me, you gotta start counting when the plant starts counting.

We all students of this game and I just want the correct info to people.
What I was referring to about the bud rot, I was asking wouldn't the plants from those seeds be more susceptible to rotting?
I was just having a bad day, didn't mean to cause trouble.

I'll squeeze them tonight. If I recall correctly they were not hard at all. I am quite possibly just being a complete newbie and freaking out.

you can even pull a calyx off and have a good look at it.
