just on average how long after the flip to 12/12 when do you growers see the first signs of flowering....like preflowers.indica dom only.im trying to figure out how long it is so i can figure out the outdoor start.there has to be a week or 2 before u actually start seeing signs.

i try to always veg them til they show pre flowers, then I axe the ones I dont want. at about 35-40 days veg most strains start to show male or female, sometimes a little sooner.

well, ive seen very mature plants (indica) begin to flower in 2 days

and a male (pure sativa) in 1 month.

but usually its around 1-2 weeks, same as the other guys said. (most strains ive seen)

2 weeks seems to be the normal time though.

according to all statements on the matter ive seen and own experiences.

Are the plants mature? Are they from clone? Do you see pre-flower pistils on many nodes? Are you going from 24/0 or 16/8?

im not a neob,im trying to find out this for force flowering outdoors,but i figured this is a better place to ask.when you see the first flowers on a outdoor plant they have obviously been tripped at least a week before,im trying to find out the average so i can add that time to the time i found the first flowers...example:if i went out to my plot every second day and on one day found the plant starting to flower on say august 20th,the plant probably got tripped around the 5th to the 10th.thats what im trying to find out.my guess is on average 10 days from flip.it would be from a 5+ week seed plant or a clone

Used to have a Skunk#1 cut from the L.A. area that would throw pistils in 4 days... if the first 24hrs were dark. That was faaast. LOL The others were 7-20 days, depending on strain. (Short flower haze I ran was 'round 20)

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:
