Just a Few Questions now: 1. Can i start to flower on 12/12 before my first official set of 7 leaves is showing? 2. Does it look like i have some female preflowers showing here 3. Is this where my Colas are gonna start to come from, cause im LST'ing, and i can see little leaf sets starting to pop out
1. Yes you can flower right from the jump! 2. Preflowers? Not yet, you have to switch lighting first. 3. Those, I believe will turn into branches - a wider shot will help me answer that definitively.
1) You can start flower whenever you want but the plant will not start budding until it is sexually mature which takes about 4 weeks give or take. Starting off on 12/12 will shorten this by a very small margin while having an adverse effect on final yield. 2) It is possible to have preflowers before switching light schedule. Can't tell from that pic however. 3) The plant will send a growth hormone to whichever budsites are higher or closer to light. These will be your main colas.
