Hi madcatter,Hey guys,
I am wondering should I start counting from the date I flip to 12/12 or thew time they start showing buds?
I realize the magnifier looking at trichromes is definitive, but I need to schedule when I am getting more babies....
Thanks for all your input...
Begin counting from day 1 of 12/12, but bear in mind that when a strain is described as an '8 week' strain for example it can often take a week or so longer to finish! You should see those first pre- flowers (pistils) in around 2 weeks from switching.
Hope this helps.

I'd start from when you see pistils.

he's right u start from the day u see stigmas or pistals.and the reason u have to wait for a week wen u count day for day from 12/12 is the first week of 12/12 supose to show your preflowers that week is wen the pistal are suppose to show.so day 1 from preflowers

Well, I've spent 20 years counting from day1 of 12/12
Most journals here start the flowering countdown from the day they switch
Take your pick then madcatter! .....BUT I guess the main thing is to let them finish fully.

from pistils, like the seed banks say.

I grow Indica's that can finish in 8 weeks from switching and are described as '8 week' strains by the seed company.... so are you saying to me that they actually finish in 43 days (ie: 6 weeks)? Allowing say 14 days to show pre flowers.
Mmm, we're going to have to agree to disagree here I think but lets see how this thread plays out?
