If you're growing photoperiod you change the diary when you change to 12-12 If you're growing automatic when you see the pistils growing.

, I would say when you first start seeing signs of flower. I wouldn’t wait till flowers are forming. Once I see flower signs, pistils forming etc, that’s week 1 flower. Good luck Growmie 😎🌱💨

To harvest or not to harvest
Any opinions on whether I should harvest based on the pics I posted. A lot of people will say, NOT YET, wait until all the hairs are orange, then you read on some sites that say 100% orange is too late. I prefer the 'up' high vs couch lock. Trichomes are clear/milky with a few am

High temps for sprouting seedlings on day one
My seedlings sprouted into a dark space with 29°C temps and a humidity of 25%. They were covered, and it was only for a few hours on day one. Has the exposure to excess temps killed them, or is there a chance they will fully recover?
