What if you 12/12 from seed?
Do you count flowering from 12/12 switch or when you see pistil hairs?

I count from flip because it's a definitive point, first sign of pistils is not necessarily.

Then i would say " 'x' days seed to chop". That's just me. Also with autos.

The question was when to start counting days of flower.
If growing photo's from seed under 12/12 when would you start counting?

On 12/12 from seed, again it's a "seed to chop" thing because it's a concrete timeline. You pretty much turn your photo into an auto (style) grow, bootsy harvest and all

But what do you need to see to say flowering has begun? I call it when upward growth slows and the stacking begins.On 12/12 from seed, again it's a "seed to chop" thing because it's a concrete timeline. You pretty much turn your photo into an auto (style) grow, bootsy harvest and all

I stopped counting a long time ago.
There's really nothing to count.
Plants don't go by calendar days, only people do.

The day you plant it I guess lol. It’s done when done. I’ve got 4 Quebec gold and they are all different with one almost done and one just starting to bud up. Indoor I count from flip but it’s only for curiosity as again it’s done when done, quicker if I’m running low

Good question, idk the answer but by default a photo in 12-12 would be counted from when it sprouts or maybe the 1st leafs?

My average has been 4 to 5 weeks before they show sex.... Some go a bit longer, but after that flowering starts pretty quick

Why would you count a plant as flowering when it’s not flowering? 12/12 switch is not flowering. Thats the first fucking day of transition. Nothing flower about it.
now I understand keeping count is a tad easier from day of flip. But you have to re consider your flowering time as well when giving advice to people to let that piece of knowledge in. Your talking about a whole 2 week difference there.
indoors. I count when I start to notice my cluster form. Like when it’s obvious. Not buds yet no. But small cluster of pistils. That’s day 1
Outdoors. Fuck that. All my counts are guess work. That’s mostly for people to read or give an idea where I’m at in flower. I really don’t know. Better that way.

Just so I've got this correct, regardless of 12/18hrs you'll still get some veg period?

Should probably just stop counting. Makes life easier. Just wake up one day. Look at yer lady friends in the tent...ask them....hey you done yet....and go from there.
Not done no worries. Ask again next week.
They done. Pick a time when you can get it done in the near future. No rush. It ain't going to explode if you don't.

Well I haven't done 12/12 from seed yet, but I would count from seed then.
to be honest I ended up not counting last frow and just waited it to finish, I just want a general idea of how many weeks it takes.

That's not totally true. We used to grow peaches, apples, and other fruit. We would know, through experience, that a certain variety of peach, for example, would always be ready for a first pick at 153 days from full bloom. Of course that was used as a guide, but we could have always made the first pick at 153 days and not been wrong. The better one is degree growing days. We use that for bugs.
It's amazing to me that to a certain degree I can rely on the days cannabis breeders quote for indoor to determine where I'm at with that cultivar outdoors. Again, experience matters.

I count from 12/12 flip, and when theyre done, theyre done. I dont go by what the breeder says usually. I pick them with all of the trichomes are milky, and as few amber as possible.
