how long until bud?

im on day 7 of flowering and so far i see pistils with hairs coming out on some places.

how long does it usually take for it to start actually looking like bud?

4 weeks at least. Just a heads up. If you don't post pics, nobody will care for giving you info on it. Without pics its pure speculation.

i agree with this time line for the most part.. the first two weeks or so of flower is usually all the stretch phase of flowering, not much else going on other then your plants getting tall as poo... the next week or so you'll start to see the pistils blowing up all over the plants, which is then followed slowly by bud formation.. usually by the 5th week or so of flowering, you'll have what will pretty much be looking like what you'd think buds should look like.. the next two or three weeks is when the buds will blow up on you, get nice and dense, and you'll be dying for them to mature, lol..

for instance, here's week 3 for some sour kush...

and here's week 5 .....

wow fast responses. awesome thanks all

my ass sits next to the enter key!
so ......where's those photos???

You said youre at seven days of flower? Go get some amino acid supplements, it will help your plants to pack in more flowering sites give it to them along with your regular ferts for the first month to five weeks. After that start giving it 2 tablespoons of molasses a week for denser yet fuller flowers

Careful ... don't just go adding anything.

People will tell you to, but keep in mind every plant adapts to what its grower feeds it and how it takes care of it, in addition to environment etc.

I suggest you keep doing as you've done (pictures aside) and ride this out. Although Mollasses is mild from what I heard and gives great results. And I plan to try it out.

Youve never used molasses??? Gotta get some. I have my choice of all the nutrients I want, still I use molasses.

Also, amino acids...its a good thing. Plants spend a lot of energy making them, the building blocks of protiens. Amino acid supplements will help slingshot your bud site production. Its not a nutrient, just an additive. You should get so me

Also, if someone much more experienced then you tells you how and when certain additives are used/needed, pay attention. It doesnt mean you jave to do what they say, but you should listen. It takes people a while to figure out correct ussages of supplements, which.in the growing world means thousands of dollars. Information is king...and money

I usually start budding nicely at 30days into flower, some faster most at 30 though.
