Flipped 4 days ago. Would it begin indicating that soon?

Thank you.

Is this considered a flowering indication?

No, it's showing sex. Basically it's saying it's a lady & it's mature enough to flower.
The transition from veg to flower usually takes closer to the 14 days. That's why some growers with top a plant & switch it to flower right away, its gradual.
Now, yours might flower sooner than the 14 days, that's not set in stone. It's basically just a guide.
Quick question, I see some of the fingers are curling inward. That's usually a sign of heat stress, what's your temps?

Thank you very much. I didn’t think it could be indicating that quickly.
Current temp is 82. Last 24 has been 70-88. Not sure when it got to 88, May have been end of day yesterday. Any rate, 3 degrees more than wanted. So I say to you, good eye.
Humidity is at 31 current and 31/58 last 24.
This one began showing indications on 10/4 after it had been flipped on 9/25.

That is one of the lowest humidities I’ve seen in that environment. I BET that would also cause a leaf curl? It would seem to make common sense?

Ahh see that image, that's your pre flower. Those little white hairs are the pistils, that's already in the flowering stage.
Yeah, 88 is a little high but it's no big deal, be careful to keep your temps under control later on in flower. It'll damage the top colas, bleach them & damage the glands that produce that heavenly aroma.
Haha thanks for the compliment, but it's not my first redo. Ha
I'd keep the humidity pretty high in the veg stage, it promotes pretty fast growth. But in flower, humidity can cause mold/bud rot in most strains.
Try introducing a fan, it'll help disperse any major heat. Plus it builds a stronger plant, I find the stems be much stronger as they can sometimes bent under the weight of the buds.
Are you using a exhaust & carbon filter?

Thanks again.
I have 3 fans circulating, 2 ‘tornado’ style 6” fans at the top, and a vertical oscillating fan too. I ran into a major problem several weeks ago where I had temps in the 90’s, and everything you warned of indeed happened. Well, I pulled one of the plants down today, and it smelled really good. Looking forward to seeing how it cures.
I do have a carbon filter exhaust system. I also have a 6” inlet which I used to try to control those 90+ temps a few weeks ago.
