When Flowering Weeks Start Counting

[justicebzwieg]

Flowering time on a feminized strain sheet raises the same question every season, namely when the count begins. Some growers count from the first white pistils, which appear a week or two after the light change, so their week eight is not the breeder's week eight. The definition used at https://queenfeminizedseeds.com is weeks from the flip to harvest, so an eight to nine week strain includes that slow transition period. Knowing which convention a breeder uses saves a lot of second guessing near the end.
