who? Hightimes? they dont do shit, ppl tell them what to write in there magazines they dont even grow. They get there info from other growers and most likely things get lost in translation. Im not sayin there wrong or morons, but if they said a plant shows pistals its flowering they may be on a different subject . Every experienced grower in here knows about preflowers and how wonderful they are becuase they let u know the sex of the plant way before you should know. Also it may be an indication they are mature enough to start flowering. as long as there kept on 18/6 they will vegg for a very long time, and at 2 months you shoul dbe seeing preflowers.
