Maybe this goes grower to grower, but what is the general prefered time to start counting the days of your grow?

Day 1; seeds placed on moist papertowel?

or

Day 1; seeds popped above soil line?

Granted, simple question that only makes a few days difference, but just curious.

Thanks fellow growers!

Peace.

From the time it sprouts up germination time doesn't matter!

I usually only pay attention to days flowered.

Other than that I know about how long they have been vegging but not to the day.

I know some one who starts things on certain calendar days and just tries to keep to a general time frame.

Cool. Thanks everyone. Im wondering because Im still waiting on my preflowers to show and I'm now on day 42 (counting from starting the seeds as DoeEyed does). I thought they were supposed to show after 4 weeks or so and this now puts me in week 6 with nothing. Guess they're just late bloomers.
