When will I see buds forming?

First time grow, Kritical Kush, switching to 12/12 lighting now; it's day two of this new 12/12 lighting period, it's been like a month and a half of 16/8 lighting. The plants look healthy as far as I can tell but no signs of bud. Confused.

Its only day two of flower wait a week or two. Also make sure there are no light leaks.

For me its usually bout 10 days until they are clearly showing

First off, it's Critical Kush (not Kritical Kush). Secondly, wash your plants off. I see lots of dirt specs/bugs/boogers on your leaves. Give them a rinsing. Thirdly, get a bigger light. After 6 weeks, they should 3X as large. Lastly, it's a nice strain, good quality for a heavy yielder. It gets way better with a long cure. I still have some that's maybe 4-5 months old and it's become very tasty. To answer your question, I think I saw the first flowers in 9 or 10 days, a few plants even longer than that.

Your plants look okay, but they are small for 6 wks old. They wont show buds in veg, but normal sized girls will show pistils around 30-35 days or so into veg.

Depending on strain buds will start to show normally anywhere from 15 to 25 days after the day you flip.

Remember...the day you flip the lights tob12/12 the plants dont just start flowering immediately. They take a week or so to recognize the change and to ramp up hormone production for flowers.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll see how it looks in 2 weeks. I'm so excited. It's my first grow.

Switching the lights to 12/12 will signal the plant to start flowering. I usually see buds forming by the end of the third week at 12/12.

Good luck, BigSteve.
