The date you germinate the seed is one that should be writen down to know how long the entire life sycle is... I start counting the days of life when the first true marijuana leaves show... I'm sure others start when the plant sprouts...
Lets see What other people say... Other people start saying things!!!
And another day counting thing I'm unsure of... is when indoor growing when you change the light to 12/12 does that count as day 1 of flowering? even though there are no flower's?

no.

the plant goes through several more stages than the over-simplistic germ, veg, flower stages.

flowering is a growth stage, but it's preceded by sexing, pre-flowering and early-flowering.

most will take from 2-4 weeks to get into true flowering growth AFTER they show sex.

well, i don't really count anymore... at least that what my wife says.. lol

you should be fine if you let it pre-f for 2 weeks then start counting. the more sativa strains can pre for every bit of 4 weeks... really depends on what you're growing. you can tell when it goes into true flowering, the whole plant changes and ALL of the growth is in buds/flowers.

What week one is when they have 4 sets of leafs!?!?!?!
What if your plant grows 8 sets of leaves in week one... that dosn't make it half a week... or if your plant has only 1 node and is 2 weeks old dosn.t mean its only a half week old... age... usualy has to do with... TIME!

I bought seeds from a seed bank... and they have no info on anything about them... So I'm upset about that... I bought purple kush seeds from willy jack... aparent'y willy dosn't want me to know how long flowering should take!!!!

indica stuff is usually 6-8 weeks from showing sex... about 2 weeks of pre-flower and 4-5 weeks of true flowering.

you'll be fine, forget the numbers and just watch the plant.
