Transplanted from 3 gallons last weekView attachment 4512598been in 12/12 for about a week but I count day one from when there are clears signs of flowering so day one of flower was just a few days agoView attachment 4512599View attachment 4512600View attachment 4512601they look good. All is healthy so far. I did notice a garden gnat again. thought I had defeated them. I'll add a top layer of sand. Usually does the trick
Definitely. It seems pretty accurate for me . my strains go right up to the 8 or 9 weeks they are advertised to and they are at the perfect ripeness of that time. I find growers who count straight from 12/12 end up finding out they need an extra week or 2. When the plant transitions, it doesn't hormonally jump to flower because we flip a switch ya know. The hormones gradually change over time and progress into full flower in a week or 2. I usually wait until I have atleast small button sized clusters or "bud sites" b4 I start the count. I'm rambling now but I think its accurate and SO MANY growers with years of experience count straight from flip. Lol it frustrates me because plants just dont work that way.I do the same thing.

Yeah my first plant flipped super quick. 2 days. In my tent I just flipped. The 4 photos are showing sex just not white hairs. The only one thats showed is my NL auto and its 3.5wks old but I think a lot of people mistake 12/12 for day 1 when in fact day 1 is when there are a few hairs all up and downDefinitely.
