when do you guys count your flowering days??? i'm assuming the breeders are talking 6-8 weeks when the first flowers form or preflowers/sex... not when you put it into 12/12 that is what triggers the flowering.. take 2 weeks off your numbers and see if they get closer to the real amount.. that is if you are counting from the day you go 12/12...

I almost always have preflowers with hairs before even putting them in 12/12 so its all the same for me

just about 8 weeks, I already started leeching. Im hoping for a 4-20 chop but whatever happens is fine with me. So it will be about 9.5 weeks
8 weeks since they started flowering. Only took 5 days after switching to 12/12 though so not a big difference
59 days of 12/12 right now

That used to throw me for a loop...thanks. Damn, I guess now that I look back at my calender, I actually let mine go an entire 86 days....and I thought I had actually been impatient when I did harvest.
It seems to only make sense to harvest early in some situations. Say, if you get a bad spider mite problem, and you need to attack the lil bastards on a schedule....those last two or three weeks you needed to really fatten that bud are now in question. I like my flowers pure and clean.....no additives, natural or not. Why not get to them before they do?
Also, YES......I am one of those who does some pre-tasting. I've been reamed for shit for doing it too, LOL. I still say I'm doing the right thing. I don't think there's anything SO terribly wrong with grabbing a lil bud from the middle or top. I'm not going to likely be re-vegging this plant anyway.
I had one partiuclar plant that had some VERY small buds no matter how long you leave them to flower. I'll tell you right now. Those flowers I harvested earlier were the BEST. You can let a strain go too long. You can so easily miss that window in a matter of days I say. Unfortunately, I only have indica seeds. My personal preference is to take them earlier than I probably should. I hate the "stoned" feeling. I have 2 harvests from one plant. The earlier is much more uplifting and to my liking.

What if you give 36 hr dark period before switching the light on. Does this chop time off that number?

You're right. You pegged it. I need to just look back on all the work we did since dec 16 and just wait.if you are trying to shave off a few hours, you need to stop.
thx,

I have seen this in a couple of books but havent tried it.
I have tried the 36-72 hours of darkness after chop. That does really work
