When Does the Flowering Season Officially Begin for a Plant That's Forced to Flower?

The process of forcing my plants growing in pots outside to flower early by bringing them into a totally blacked out room was initiated exactly 28 days ago. It took eight days after the force flowering began for the Original Amnesia strain to show visible signs that the flowering had began. The question is: Did the flowering season officially begin the first day after the forced flowering was completed, or did it start when the first signs of flowering could be seen on the plant? It's no big deal because it's only a difference of 7 days and I'll constantly be checking when it gets close to harvest time, but I was just curious to know. Could be wrong, but I think this one might stump a few people.

Yes, yes it did

I start my count. 1 week after Flip.
But, that could just be me

as soon as first signs of flower appear

Force Flower Day one begins as soon as you start new 12/12 light schedule. I leave girls in darkness for 24 hours before starting a 12/12 of force flower.

It's when flowering is visible for me. It takes a little time for the flowering hormones to kick off the process after length of darkness is enough for flowering

I agree with g boss that the first day you start is day one - you will find that the outdoor, light depped schedule (in mid summer) will mature yer plants at the same rate as they would inside, and that the same strain, unforced, will naturally flower slower by a week or two
