If you know the strain. They list an average time to ripen. Otherwise, you have to grow it a couple of times and see when the plant itself matures.

Keep a calendar on the wall just for the plants. Mark days alive. Days in flower. Next grow, it'll provide a game plan.

I'm sorry I don't I don't understand she's "still vegging right ?

She's not vegging until the first minute your switch to 12/12. That's the mark. Whatever your light schedule. It's not in flower unless it's shorter then a 12 hr day.

Everything else is veg.

Now. They grow three times the height. If they are a foot tall. Switch to flower and it's three times that's height. They finish at 3 feet.

You have to plan where you want your plants in relation to the light. Tape measure. 8" tall. 3 times that. Distance to light.

They finish when they finish.

The day you change the timer to 12/12. That's day one. No matter what the plants look like. It takes about week to see what's considered 'flower'. You count down after you change the timer.

Yep. It's a young female. What you're seeing is the first sign of sex. Unless she go's into 12/12. That's about as good as it gets.
