    Default Real flowering time

    Hello lads, When seed sellers give you flowering times is this time calculated from the moment you flip to 12/12 or from when you start to see flowers a week or so in?

    It's from when you start to see early flowers, a week or two after flipping to 12/12.

    I believe it's called 'true flower'

    Those times are a rough guideline anyway get yourself a good magnifying glass and you'll tell when they are ready more accurately.

    Thanks Cantona, So for my Blue Dream Humbolts say indoor flowering can be up to 10 weeks. Will they have been flipped for around 10-12 weeks?

    It's just hard to know when to start a final flush. What is the timescale of trics just starting to go milky and actual chop.

    I've never figured out how some of the seed banks get to their time scales. It is unusual for a plant to finish within the given time

    By checking the trichomes daily. Usally once I see 10-20% amber I start the flush but it depends how you like your smoke. Mostly cloudy for head high, plenty of amber for couchlock or a nice mix of the two

    Thanks, Blue mate. Now, this is going to sound stupid, but by 20% do you mean 20 out of 100 trichomes or 20% of each trichome.

    If I start flush at 10-20% will this give me a nice mixed high after approximately 7 days?

    10-20% of trichomes around each bud mate, Once the trichomes start to turn it doesn't take long for the rest to turn. So yes start the flush once you have around 10-20%, which will increase whilst flushing leading to a nice mix come chop.

    Which weeks of flower have you given Pk?

    Yeah thats right, I'd prefer a 10 day flush tbh when using the 9/18, I use it myself and give 10 days of water before chop
