Understanding the Flowering Stage of Cannabis
Hey there, cannabis enthusiasts! Let's chat about the flowering stage, one of the most exciting phases of cannabis cultivation. This is when your plants start to produce those beautiful, resinous buds.
When Does It Start?
Typically begins when the light cycle changes to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness.
In outdoor grows, this happens naturally as days shorten.
What to Expect:
Bud Formation: You'll see pre-flowers develop into full buds.
Stretching: Plants may double in size as they stretch towards the light.
Pistils and Trichomes: White pistils will form, and trichomes will start to cover the buds, giving them a frosty appearance.
Tips for Success:
Nutrients: Shift to a bloom fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium.
Lighting: Ensure your plants get uninterrupted dark periods.
Humidity and Temperature: Keep humidity low to prevent mold and mildew. Ideal temps are between 65-80°F (18-26°C).
The flowering stage is all about patience and care. Keep a close eye on your plants, and you'll be rewarded with a bountiful harvest.
