When is the first day of flower
I have had multiple growers tell multiple things soooo I believe a poll is in order to finaly put this to rest... So let's begin beating that dead horse yet again

12/12 indoors. Summer solstice outdoors.
Light is what triggers flowers. Anything else to determine the start of flowering is arbitrary.

but what if u put it to 12/12 right from seed or a week after germination? It's not going to start flowering until its over a month old.

The beginning of flower is pretty much irrelevant, it is the end of flower that you need to be concerned with. You may be watching the calendar but your plants are not. They will be ready ..... when they're ready. The trichomes tell all. Get a scope, 10X up to about 60X will do. Look at the trichomes once the plant has been flowering for a while (1mos+). Determine what concentration of clear, cloudy, and amber trichomes suits your needs. Harvest the plant when it reaches the proper contcenration previously determined. If you are keeping logs of the grow, count back until it was flipped 12/12 and record the legnth of the grow. The reason I suggest 12/12 flip is that if this is kept constant it won't bias the records if keeping logs.

That's kind of an arbitrary question by how we view time. It's like asking when the first day of veg is. Plants look at time in large blocks relative to us.

So what is the general concensus then.... When breeders list how many weeks flowering time is an average I am sure but it is a good place to start to determine nute lvls at what time of flowering. I just gave my 5 dose of nutes at 1250 ppm ( Sensi a+b, Big bud, Rhino, Bud Candy, and Budswel). With the strains I am running (Green House Seeds Super Lemon Haze , Green House Seeds Super Silver Haze, and Big Buddah Cheese.) and according to the breeder SSH is an 11 week strain, The SLH is also 11 week, however the Cheese is 9-10. I will need to adjust nute lvls to ramp down to 2 week flush, when to start Overdrive and use final flush.
So it is important (at least to me) when do you guys start counting flower so as to get a relativly aprox time until chop day. The attached pics are from 4-17-10 (either day 23 or day 29) Pic 1 = Cheese Pic 2 = Super Lemon Haze (one of my fav pics) Pic 4 = Super Silver Haze Pic 4 = Super Silver Haze ( Very Very frosty  )
