@AllDay Pistils are an indication that it's a female plant. You can flip to flower whenever you'd like. The plant only needs 21 days in Veg before it's able to flower. Some growers will Veg their plant until it's a certain height and then flip. It's totally a personal choice for when you want to flip to flower. What are your goals for this run?
1. How long should I keep northern lights in veg before switching over to flower?
You can flip to flower whenever you'd like.
2. What exactly are these pistol looking things coming out of the top of this plant?
Those are pre-flowers.
Are pre-flowers an indication of something? Does that mean it’s time to go ahead to flower?

@Mr. Grow It Goals as far as what? Yield?
I’m very new so I don’t really have goals. This is really my first real deal go at it.
My first run was from a seed out of a bag which turned out to be a hermie. That was a bummer.
