Frigaultanswered grow question 4 years ago Just to clarify terminalogy.. Preflower doesn't mean the begening of flower. But actually the reach of sexual maturity if a plant... It preflowers when it is ready and disen't need to be flipped..
If you've fipped it. The preflower will show yes, but its not preflowering it is now flowering...
What this means is in preflower you are vedging
If you were to flip to 12/12 before preflower and have flower show 5 days later the plant could reverte it leaflet order if you flipoed to vedging scedual... Instead of 5-7 leaflet on the fan leaf it coukd revert back to 3. Even 1 single blade leaflet. And the vedging restart over again going from a low count leaflet to a more mature fanleaf with typical 5-7 blandes. So prelfower speaks for itself. Before flower. They are flowers that apoears during vegetation.
