Need help...I think may have miscalculated my flowering weeks

RazzleDazzleCrystal · Jul 18, 2025

I FLIPPED MY PLANT to 12/12 on may 27th, and started counting week one on june 3rd....should may 27 be considered week one and then june 4th week two? This is crucial. I am into week 7 but it may be week 8 if i didn't count properly.

I start my counting the day I flip the light. It doesn’t really matter though. It’ll be done when it’s done. Most of the time it’s 10-11 weeks for me. Everyone seems to do it different but it’s an arbitrary number. Don’t go by what the vendors tell you. You can have 5 seeds of the same strain that finish up differently.

I don't count till i see budlets. It takes 7-10days to see preflower after flip that's been my experience anyhoo.

I go by days and not weeks. Easier to keep track of. As a general rule, I start checking trichs on day 60. that would be week 8.5.

I chop when I see the level of amber bud trichomes I want. Sometimes that's in line with the advertised flower time. Usually, it isn't.

Really doesn't make any difference which week the plant is on, it will be done when it's done. If you're basing chop date by the breeder estimates I think you'll be dissapointed, they almost always take longer than the breeder says.

My autos were 10 days past the " due date ".
Go by the condition of the plants not the calender.

I don't know what's wrong with these people but when it's time God reveals it to me in dreams.

Plants can’t count! Use your eyes!

I don't count days or weeks. I just try to understand what the plant tells me.

I don’t think there’s any other way you can do it and be successful! Although it can come in handy when growing autos! If after three or four weeks, your plants are four or 5 inches tall, it is an indicator to abort and start over!
