Once again, nitrogen is the essential nutrient, but you can also increase levels of other key nutrients in the feed. The plants will need hours of sunlight. The flowering stage is the last stage of growth, and it is the most crucial for you as a cultivator. You can transition plants into the flowering stage by reducing their light exposure. A cycle 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness is ideal.
When the plants flower, they begin to produce a sticky resin on the leaves. Trichomes will develop, too. This means that the cannabinoids in the plant are developing nicely. The final potency of the cannabis will depend on how long it spends in the flowering stage. You can stop giving the plant nitrogen now, but up the intake of potassium and phosphorus.

When to Harvest Marijuana Now comes the tricky part: Figuring out when is the right time to harvest! Your timing can affect the smell, taste, weight, and potency of the final product. A good trick is to look closely at the pistils. When they begin to turn brown, and the leaves start to yellow, now is the time to harvest. The cannabis is basically useless at this point. Harvesting early is better than harvesting too late. This process ensures you will have rounded and smokable bud.
You can perform wet or dry pruning. The general consensus is that the former method is easier. Invest in some delicate scissors — not the same ones you used to cut the plants down. Wet pruning will also require gardening gloves because the plants will be sticky. Pick the fan leaves off the buds, and then trim off the sugar leaves.
You can use these leaves for edibles, or you can throw them away. Once pruned, your buds are ready to be dried and cured. And then your work is complete! Once you have completed your first growing cycle, you will be rewarded with a potent, delicious bud.
So what happens now? One option is to buy more seeds from a seed bank. This way, you can keep buying and trying different strains. However, some growers prefer to use cloning.
Equal days and equal nights have led sativa strains to grow in short, consistent photoperiods. This simply means that the height of a sativa plant increases during both vegetative and flower periods. Pure sativa strains can grow to heights of 20 feet due to growing so tall, indoor growers generally stick to indica strains instead. Sativa typically has a shorter vegetative cycle, but once the plant begins to flower it can take up to weeks until it is ready for harvest.
A pure sativa strain take 16 weeks to finish in flower. The growing period for pure sativa strains is around six months. Popular choice for many experienced growers. Indica strains grow short and fat and typically yield more than their tall, lanky sativa counterparts. They are also known to have shorter flowering periods than sativas. Because indicas have a shorter flower period, indoor growers can have more annual cycles. The flowering period for indica strains is typically around 8 weeks.
Hybrids are a blend of sativa and indica cannabis strains. Also, hybrid cannabis strains are a blend of both indica and sativa, when cultivated they typically take on traits of one or the other. Much like sativa strains, hybrid strains can grow quickly during the vegetative stage. When it comes time to flower however, they may take on the shorter flower periods common to pure indica strains. Typically, hybrid strains will stay in flower for weeks until ready for harvest. Female: Two pistils the pistil contains the reproductive parts of a flower will be growing on the buds flowers grow above these leaves, one cluster on each side.

The Stages of Cannabis Growth Cannabis growth is made up of a series of stages that plants undergo during their lifecycle. Cannabis Growth Timeline 1. Germinating Seeds To effectively germinate, you must ensure that seeds are mature enough. If your seeds are immature they will likely not germinate. If your seeds have reached maturity they will appear shiny and light to dark brown and will be dry and hard to the touch. If your seeds are underdeveloped they will feel soft and appear white or green.
To germinate, keep your seed in a wet, dark place. Some growers may keep it in a cup of water or wrapped in a wet paper towel and set inside of a cabinet. Exposing seeds to light and moisture stimulates hormones and gives the growth process a boost.
A single root, called the radicle, will shoot downwards as the new stem grows upwards pushing the seed out of the soil. Unlike common marijuana leaves, two rounded cotyledon leaves will sprout from the stem as the plant breaks away from the seed's protective casing. These cotyledon leaves gather energy from sunlight so that the plant can become stable and grow bigger.
Once the roots develop, the first true leaves grow and the plant is not in its seedling stage. Seedling Stage The seedling growth stage is fragile and plants must receive hours of sunlight, moist soil, and mild humidity to grow rapidly. Because the seedling has such a small root system, it's important to not drown it by overwatering.
Once a plant becomes a seedling, it will develop more traditional-looking cannabis leaves. A marijuana leaf is made up of anywhere between 3 to 13 fingers.
The leaves produced from a sprout will appear with only one rigged finger. With new growth, marijuana leaves will develop more fingers. Mature marijuana plants will typically have between 5 and 7 fingers per leaf but can reach up to The first fingered leaves can grow up to 4 inches above cotyledon leaves and will have the notorious serrated edges.
This set of leaves grow in pairs on opposite sides of the stem. Cannabis plants are treated as seedlings until they develop leaves with a full number of fingers. Healthy seedlings should be short with thick vegetation and their leaves should appear vibrant green in color. During this stage, growing environments must be kept clean and free of excess moisture to ensure the plant does not become diseased or moldy. Vegetative Growth Once a seedling develops 7 sets of pointed leaves, it enters vegetative growth.
After being relocated to a larger pot, the growth of a cannabis plant soars. It's stem become thicker and grows taller, it produces more leaves, nodes, and branches, and its root system becomes more established to prepare for flowering. This is the stage where growers will begin topping and training plants. The spacing between nodes displays what kind of cannabis you are growing.
