Flowering terminology
Rush2112started grow question 4 years ago
Regarding the term “Day x of flowering”, what determines x? Is it the day you see the very first pistils at nodes? Or the day the first top shows pistils? Curious as to the distinction between preflowering vs true flowering in earnest. Thanks for clarifying.

Hi!
This comes to your own preference. I personally start counting flowering from the day I see some pre flowers so maybe 4-7 days after the flip and some folks start counting from the flipping day so there is no "pre-flowering" for them, it is just veg and flo but I count it as veg, pre-flower and flowering. It's only a matter of few days so just keep it constant and use one method to simplify it to yourself

I think this is down to personal preference. I would say flower day x is when lights have changed to 12/12 on a photo. For an auto it is when you see the first preflowers, for me. This is important as this is a massive change in the plants growth and environment and when you will perhaps be changing humidity and nutrients, important to log everything you do to help determine where and why they is an issue when one pops up. 👍🌱

autoflowers are a guesstimate too.
indoors you count from flip, so that it's just consistent.. nothing technical about it, really. When the hormonal balance in the plant flips is when it matters.

I think outdoor might be as you describe. Indoor growers some times simplify by saying flowering is when you switch the lights to 12/12.
In my case, starting from clones, they always have pistils because they're taken from a mature mom, so I count since the switch too.

No microscope => Need your expert eyes :DI'll have a microscope next week.
But since i got a "not too bad" macro photo with my phone, could you share your opinion with me?
I believe Trichomes are at the "cloudy" stage, am i right ? At what stage should I stop feeding? (the flush)
(First grow ever)
Thanks !! 😍

Clear or Cloudy?I managed to get a Jeweler’s Loupe and I tried to take a picture with the iPhone.
Do you think the trichomes are all cloudy enough?
I was in doubt before buying the loupe because the pistils are still nearly 30%/40% brown.
I also found very few brown trichomes, about 1-2% total
