Check the crystals(trichs) there is no set time frame it could be 80 days it could be 50, get a microscope and check the trichs, clear not ready, cloudy is mature and amber is ready/degrading so check them
Help needed

YUP-YUP! fish cake gives good advice. Int he flowering stage, the plant needs less N and more K. So go down from the high N and up to a high K regimen. Start to give a a balanced 10-10-10 for 1 or 2 weeks, then go to 8-10-14 for flower. Being in soil you will need to tweak and watch to get the correct balance because soil adds its own NPK in minute amounts, so this is where good plant savvy comes in.
The lower N and higher K will spur the flowering stage. As a matter of fact, high N will actually DELAY flowering, if not prevent it altogether.

hi all
i dont have a clue on the N AND K i have just been feeding with miricle grow. what should i look for any names of feeds please N stands for nitrogen that gives veg groth K stands for potassium this is good for flowering in most all kinds of plants, P stands for phosphorus wich helps both ways. you want a nute that has more of the p and k some n is ok but the other 2 is what helps those buds to grow. also molasses has a lot of potassium in ita and has good bactirea that help your in your soil so look for somethingthat has higher p and k then n. hope this helps
the 2 i have been doing 12.12 have been in for 13days now i think the middle are changing is that were it will start. you should see some semi round parts growing where the branches start from the main stem look for 2 little white hair like things coming out of them thats the start of flowering
hi jon yes i am tieing down all the tops will take some photos soon

and the next is what i think it flower
NPK: 5-3-8 + micro nutrients
Pretty good for flower food as well.
Bottom pic shows good flowers starting to grow, I think... Won't be long now until you see some beautiful bud action start to happen, then the calyx swell.

hi jandre what is calyx???
Above is a scanning electron micrograph of the female flower. To the leftmost region of the micrograph, are the pistils protruding from the flower. The rather odd thing that looks slightly like the female genitalia is the actual female cannabis flower part called the Calyx and is where, if the ovum gets fertilized, the seed would be grown inside (below).
In the case of sensimilla (without seed), the calyx continues to fill with resin, as a last effort to become pollinated, and thus increases the potency of the overall bud.
There is a page that shows these and more of the female flower you can look at to gain a better understanding of the individual parts, and some really well done micrographs: Scanning Electron Microscope image of female calyx and trichomes

You need around 16 hrs of light preferrablt to keep your plant vegging well, once the light cycle reduces to 12/12 light dark, the plants hormones change and it starts to produce flowers which turn to bud after its ready..
