THIS IS A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THING TO THE GROWER...... TO KNOW WHEN YOUR MARIJUANA IS MATURE, READY TO HARVEST, AND WHAT THOSE CHANGES ARE THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN YOUR MARIJUANA PLANTS. AGAIN A SMALL NOTE HERE DEPENDING ON WHETHER OR NOT YOUR THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE GROWER, AND WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD. A GROWER MAY AND VERY WELL LIKELY, RECIEVE DIFFERENT RESULTS, UNDER QUITE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS. AS THE DAYS OF THE SEASON SHORTEN, THE SKY BECOMES FILLED WITH A ORANGE HEW. THESE ARE ULTRA-VIOLET RAYS FROM THE SUN. MUCH MORE ULTRA VIOLET RAYS ARE REACHING YOUR PLANTS IN THE FALL SEASON. IT IS IN THIS PHOTOPERIOD CHANGE, WHERE YOUR PLANTS WILL TAKE ON CHANGES AND BEGIN ITS FLOWERING PERIOD. THUS, THIS IS WHY THE INDOOR GROWER SWITCHES TO 12 HOURS OF LIGHT ON PER DAY TO 12 HOURS OFF. AND CHANGE THEIR GROWING BULBS IN THEIR GROW ROOMS, TO HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM LIGHTING. THEY WANT TO TO MEET MOTHER NATURES REQUIREMENTS NEEDED BY THE MARIJUANA PLANTS TO FLOWER. AND IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF WORLD THE SEASON FOR OUTSIDE IS MUCH DIFFERENT, HERE IN CANADA WE CAN PLANT OUTSIDE AT THE END OF MAY AND ARE FIRST FROST COMES IN OCTOBER. SO HERE, IT IS A SHORT SEASON OF FIVE OR SIX MONTHS. A PLANT THAT HAS NOT FLOWERED CONTAINS VERY LITTLE T.H.C, USUALLY UNDER 3 PERCENT AT THIS POINT. THE METABOLIC CHANGES IN THE PLANT HAVE NOT YET OCCURED. YOUR PLANTS CONTAIN MANY OTHER CHEMICALS, AND TWO KEEP IT REAL BASIC HERE ONE MAIN ONE IS C.B.D.A.(cannabidiolic acid). IN AND WHILE FLOWERING THE PLANTS C. B.D.A. CONVERTS TOO T.H.C WHICH IS THE PSYCHOACTIVE EFFECT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE AND RECIEVE FROM YOUR PLANTS. NOW AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED THE LIGHTING CHANGES, FOR MARIJUANA AND THE REQUIRMENTS THEY NEED TO FLOWER, LETS MOVE ON TO SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT YOU WILL SEE OCCURING. USALLY AFTER FIVE DAYS TOO TWO WEEKS, WITH ADEQUATE LIGHTING AND WITH MOST STRAINS BEING CONSIDERED, YOU WILL BEGIN TO SEE A PAIR OF TUBULAR, USUALLY WHITE HAIRS PROTRUDING FROM THE NODES OF YOUR PLANTS. THESE LITTLE HAIRS ARE REFERRED TO AS PISTILS. THIS IS THE FIRST SIGNS OF FLOWERING IN YOUR FEMALE PLANTS. AS TWO MORE WEEKS PASS BY YOU SHOULD SEE MANY, MANY MORE PAIRS OF PISTILS. MOSTLY STARTING NOW TO BECOME VERY SMALL TINY CLUSTERS OR IN TIGHT GROUPS TOGETHER. THE PISTILS ARE ALL IN PAIRS AND AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH PAIR YOU WILL NOTICE A SMALL, USUALLY GREEN OVULE. THIS IS THE FEMALES EGG, AND AS THE PISTILS ARE WHITE, SHE IS VERY, VERY, VIABLE TO CREATE A SEED FROM A MALE PLANTS POLLEN. NOT BEEN GIVEN THE ACCESS TO A MALES POLLEN BY HAVING A ONLY FEMALE PLANT GARDEN HAS ITS ADVANTAGES HERE, AS ALL THE FEMALE PLANTS WILL CONTAIN NO SEED. THE PLANTS GROWTH AS WELL YOU WILL HAVE NOTICE, IS COTINUING TO GROW UPWARDS AT A QUICK RATE. THE STALKS ON YOUR PLANTS WILL BECOME THICKER GETTING READY TO HOLD AND SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THERE UPCOMING FLOWERS/BUDDS MOVING UP TWO MORE WEEKS NOW WOULD PUT US INTO SIX WEEKS OF FLOWERING OR 45 DAYS. THE STRAIN YOU HAVE IS IMPORTANT HERE, AS MANY HYDRO STRAINS NOW CAN REACH WHAT IS CALLED "PEAK FLOWERING" IN THIS SHORT OF A TIME. SOME STRAINS ALSO TO REACH PEAK FLOWERING CAN TAKE AS LONG AS 70 TO 75 DAYS OR 10 TO 12 WEEKS. THE LIGHTING YOU ARE SUPPLYING I MUST SAY AGAIN, ALSO WILL DETEMINE GREATLY THE OUTCOME IN THE SPEED OF YOUR PLANTS FLOWERING. NOTICABLE NOW SHOULD BE A RESINY SECRETION, AS YOU WATCH YOUR PLANTS GO THROUGH THERE METABOLIC CHANGES. THERE SHOULD BE MANY, MANY, PISTILS NOW FORMING INTO LARGER CLUSTERS. NOTICE IN THE PICTURE, THE SMALL SECRETION OF RESINS FORMING AROUND THE NEW FORMING BUDDS, AND ON THE SMALLER LEAVES. THE PLANTS ARE DOING WHAT WE EXPECT AND WANT THEM TO DO. YOU MAY ALSO NOTICE SOME OF YOUR FIRST PISTILS BECOMING BROWN/ORANGE AND WILTING UP. THIS PETICULAR PAIR OF PISTILS HAS NOW BECOME UNVIABLE TO CREATE A SEED WITH THIS PROCESS IN HAND THE MARIJUANA FEMALE PLANT WILL BEGIN TO PRODUCE MANY, MANY MORE PISTILS LOOKING TO OBTAIN LIFE FROM A MALES POLLEN. THIS IS WHERE I HAVE MYSELF AND HAVE HEARD OF MANY PEOPLE PULLING THERE BUDDS DOWN. IT WASNT UNTILL MY THIRD CROP GROWING, THAT I REALIZED AND SEEN FIRST HAND, THE FULL POTENTIAL IN THE FLOWERING OF CANNABIS MARIJUANA. WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! TAKING YOUR BUDDS NOW AS DELICIOUS AND AS YUMMY AS THEY LOOK, DONT !!! THEY ARE NOT READY YET AND WILL BECOME LARGER MORE FULLER, AND RESIN PRODUTION WILL PUSH TO ITS PEAK. AT THIS STAGE WE ARE STILL IN THE EARLY STAGE OF FLOWERING PUSHING FORTH IN TIME NOW SAY, ANOTHER TWO WEEKS BRINGING US UP TOO EIGHT WEEKS. THIS IS PEAK FLOWERING FOR ALOT OF STRAINS. RESIN PRODUTION WILL BE AT ITS HIGHEST, AND THE GROWTH UPWARDS OF YOUR PLANTS ENDS. YOUR BIGGER OUTER FAN LEAVES WILL START TO TURN YELLOW TO BROWN, AND EVENTUAALY START TO WILT AND DIE OFF. THIS IS A GOOD SIGN YOUR CANNABIS MARIJUANA IS REACHING ITS PEAK, AS THE PLANT STARTS USING UP ITS STORED SUGARS AND STARCHES IN THOSE LEAVES, THAT IT HAS STORED FOR ITS UPCOMING FLOWERING PURPOSE. MANY OF YOUR PISTILS NOW HAVE CHANGED COLOUR, BUT THE PLANT STILL OBTAINS A FAIR AMOUNT OF WHITE VIABLE PISTILS, COATED WITH RESIN SECREATION. THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO HARVEST YOUR PLANTS, AND ALOT OF GROWERS WILL TAKE THERE PLANTS DOWN NOW, OR AT LEAST SOME OF THE BIGGER BUDDS. AT THIS POINT HOWEVER, THE PLANTS SMOKE LACKS FULL AROMA, TASTE, AND COMPLETE PHYCOACTIVITY. MANY GROWERS MYSELF INCLUDED, WILL WAIT A WHILE LONGER TO GO PAST THE PEAK FLORAL STAGE, AND MOVE INTO THE LATE FLORAL STAGE. SOME STRAINS AT THIS POINT ARE READY TO HARVEST COMPLETLY, WHILE OTHERS WILL NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME TOO. FOR YOU TO DECIDE THIS AS A GROWER FOR YOUESELF, IS ULTIMATLY WHAT YOU DECIDE, AND WHAT YOU HAVE CREATED FOR YOURSELF IN YOUR GARDEN. AFTER A CROP OR THREE, YOU BEGIN TO KNOW AND SEE THE GROWTH AND LIFECYCLE OF MARIJUANA. AND YOU WILL KNOW YOUR OWN MARIJUANA STRAINS. |
