Flowering isnt showing?

Hi There I have had my plant for about 4 weeks veg then I switched to 12/12 and They have been like that for about a week now. I was wondering when will it start flowering and also does it look like its already started flowering because I'm not sure whats going on. It doesn't seem to have shown pistils or balls so I pretty confused haha. Thanks for helping. Below are the pictures...

First week of 12/12 is transition. Should realy count as flower weeks but alot of people do. Balls start to should after a week or so hairs start around 2. Week 3 you should know male or female. End of week 3 bud sites forming. So you got some time

Also, you will start to see the first signs of bud at the very top of the shoots, the newest growth instead of being another regular node with 2 leafs it will be bud starting to grow. It's really cool (at least for my grows) when from one day to another you start to see all of the shoot tops start to look like bud tops all throughout the canopy. That's when the fun start for me. Hope it helps.

A mature plant will start flowering instantly, I can tell from the second pic this is from seed.

it'll take 2 solid weeks of 12/12 for her to really look like she's in flower, but like Awnox said -- the terminal buds are starting to show.

If you wanted a clone for next time, this would be the time to take it. You'll see how much faster the clone will respond to 12/12 if you tried it...

A week isn't too long, give it another week.

yeah and honestly the longer the better, if it showed now or sooner I'd bet boy.

I have a question what are the balls like things connecting the main steam leaves to the stem of the new branch?

They look like upside down clubs with a mini stem attaching them.



You can also tell by the position; notice this one is somewhat riding the main stalk as to as a female pr-eflower is more in the middle of the node:

yea its slow man. very very slow. very very very very slow.

its like watching grass grow...

Those should be the buds. Give it a day or so and you should see 2 hairs coming out. That's what you want to see. But after a few days it looks like a banana it's a boy.

yea my flowering set up right now, theres 4 big plants in there (biggest ive stuck into flowering ever before) and it seems SO SLOW.

when i put the plants in, there were a few pistils here and there, figured they were ready for the transfer over to flowering.

the first set of pistils are out on every single node junction or whatever, and some are even reaching 2 inches! been there maybe 2 weeks since ive changed the lighting, seems like forever, and no buds yet, not even tiny buds, but the pistils continue to grow. im sure in the next week or 2 ill start seeing some bud formation. but yea, its slow man, if you sit there and stare at it, youll die. just check them daily or every few hours if you can, and do something else. anything else. you dont wanna be consumed by it tho, i did that my first grow and ended up harvesting too early. give it time.

consider this day 1 of flowering (1 week after 12/12 change). you gotta guess 60 days from now, they MIGHT be ready. maybe 90 days? maybe 120 days. sit back, get high, play video games, watch tv. and let it grow.

Thank you all for your help! I will wait like you said.

Just curious, why did you switch them into flower when they are so small?
