I let this one veg for 32 days from seed, its my only plant so i am trying to take good care of her. As of last night lights out and back on this morning there has been an explosion of white hairs all over her im hoping its a good thing, i tried taking pictures but it does not do the growth justice.

Ok i took some pictures of the white hair explosion that happened over night, im sure this is a good sign, do i need to add pk13/14 now or when the buds start to form, im currently using canna terra floures and canna bud boost both at full strength.

In case anyone missed the point of chud's rather terse comment, the picture he posted has the fem flowers clearly marked. Thanks chud.
There are three stages to flowering
1. Showing sex. This can happen in the veg stage if the plant is mature enough or it can be triggered by 12/12
2. Stretch. Rapid vigorous growth. Before showing any buds, the plant may double or triple in size. Most of the plant's green growth happens in this phase. Nodes will show one or two fem flowers but no clusters.
3. Budding. When this starts, the growing tips which had been producing only new leaves now show a mix of leaves and flowers. Following this, clusters of flowers start appearing on all the nodes, new shoots stop appearing and green growth is limited to producing leaves for the buds.
Everybody loves phase #3. Things happen faster and faster. It get's quite dramatic and you can finally see the bud you are going to get!

For your next seed grow you should wait to flower till the plants show alternating nodes. Ussally takes 6-8 weeks for my plants from seed. You really want to wait this long to take clones as they will be as mature as mother plant. Waiting for alternating nodes will increase yield a bunch!

I give one full dose about 3 weeks before finishing. Canna bud boost from as soon as buds form until finishing...
