This ones for everyone, just wanted to know if you start counting days in flowering the second you switch the lights or the first signs of flowering on the plant?

meh I don't count shit. not even for veg I go by the looks of the plants to determine the switch to 12-12 and when to harvest.

Same, but I also keep a sub count for "transition" as well.

Soon as I switch to 12/12. I believe breeders do the same.

I always add 2 weeks to my "actual" flower time for pre flower. One excellent way to combat this though is 48 hours of darkness before switching to 12/12. No bullshit it knocks 1.5 weeks of flower time off most strains.

Yeah i've just been using 12/12 switch as day 1, and i've heard of leaving lights off for 2 days before flowering i just dont really like the idea of that haha

Some people leave a week or two out for 'pre flowers' so they can determine the sex, however, whether its male or female I personally go by the start of flowering as soon as I switch to 12/12
