Help With Flowering Dates

got my best mate in a flap , he went 12/12 on the 10th of dec , im telling him hes only 6 weeks in flowering or is he less , hes growing cheese , any of you know the time it take to see flower , or what would be the start of flowering , from the date of 12/12 , its all doing my head in,

I'm sure you'll get different replies on this, but flowering basically starts when you see the pistils, not the exact day you switch lighting schedule.

yeah its are first lesson , how long would you say it take to see them pistils ,

My recent ones took around 10 days.

cool so ya looking around a week to 10 days
give or take a day or two,

Really hard to say on the Flowering, I've grown plants that 50-55 days flowering that have finished right at the range from the day I flipped the lights (I go by trichomes), but I'm sure there are those that can say they went by when they saw pistils and it was 55 days.

Due to the fact that growers should not be really bothering with the suggested flowering times of a plant, but rather harvesting when it' ready, it doesn't really matter when you consider the start of flowering. I always just class mine as day 1 flowering is day 1 of 12/12 for convenience sake then harvest when ready, typically 8-9 weeks with the exodus cheese.

ok cheers you been a great help.
