[jimmy slim big]

ok so i know everyone has something different to say or way to do things and everytime you ask someone about something and you feel good about their reason you hear a totaly different answer from another and yet they also make a good point!! so anyway i need to know if i should be counting days in flower from the day i switched lights or till i saw bud sites forming??? please clear this up

From 12/12 but the actual bud sites wont grow in till 3-4 weeks from then also strain dependent.

Mine start right away, with no stretch This is 2 weeks from flip

I veg for about 1 week and then switch it does take me about 3-4weeks mayb i should just veg longer?? But i have to have a short plant

Who cares about counting days in flower? It means absolutely nothing. Count from 2 weeks in, the day you flip, whatever you like, just keep it consistent for a point of reference.

i've read that plants that are allowed to reach sexual maturity before flowering will be more likely to reach their full genetic potential, so i veg till i see preflowers, and or alternating nodes, always..
if you want short plants, check out some lst or another like technique imo..

i vegged for about 5 weeks under 400 watt mh and bloom under 600 watt hps week 8 and 2 days!!! getting super excited.... and how cool would it be if christmas day is the day they are full peak and ready!!!

nice buds, they could probably use another week or so, flower starts from the day you start 12/12 but will kick into full swing around 2-3 weeks, just because you cant see pistils doesnt mean the inner chemistry of the plant isnt telling it that its going into flower. dont stress that harvesting at peak time thing it doesnt effect the type of high all that dramatically IMHO

ive read that as well but have you observed this yourself? ive ran lots of plants 12/12 from seed and they seemed to be just as good as plants of the same strain and filial generation grown out big, i dont beleive this myself.
any evidence to back this up? im not calling you out or anything racerboy i am genuinely curios about this subject

i have nothing to compare it against tbh since i always grow my seed strains to maturity before flowering them out..
never did a 12 / 12, and tbh, doubt i ever would.. just me..
