Just wondering what is considered the first day of the flowering cycle. Is it when the pistils first appear on the plant?

yes id say so some say its when the 12/12 light cycle starts. my last grow i had them flowering in less than 10 days so they might have started on 8 days

I ask this question about my outdoor plant. It's already covered in white pistils, but the days are getting longer and threaten to force my plant back into vegatation. I want to bring it in to start a 12 hour light cycle in order to get it to fully flower. This strain has an eight week flowering cycle supposively. I am wondering if the plant is already in its 3rd week of flowering.... 'cause that's when I first saw pistils all over it... The picture shows how it looks right now.
I know the buds will ultimately tell me they are ready, but I'm just kinda curious when the might be ready.

bring them indoors if you've got a HPS light and give them the 12/12 light cycle with total darkness . if not just leave them out until august and pick the ready buds off and let it flower again. :mrgreen:
