Cannabis Flowering

Completing the stages of vegetation, the plant begins the main stage - flowering. Flowering cannabis requires different care. At this time, the growth of green mass in Indica practically stops. Sativa continues to rise, but at a reduced pace. All hemp power is concentrated in the supply of inflorescences, where most of the nutrients go. For marijuana, flowering periods are associated with procreation, after which the bush dies. Feeding cannabis blooms requires more potassium and phosphorus to help process sugars and produce the psychoactive resin. It is recommended to lower the humidity level to 40% in order to reduce the chances of mold.

Marijuana flowering stages

An introduction to the beginning of flowering of photoperiod varieties is the transition to a 12-hour daylight hours in growbox conditions. Red tones in the lighting will become an additional signal. After that, the plant begins to think about the end of the season and prepare for flowering. For autoflowers, these manipulations are not required, due to the ability to bloom despite the length of the day. After switching to the 12/12 mode, cannabis begins pre-flowering, during which the growth rate increases. After a couple of weeks, the plant will begin to prepare for bud growth, as evidenced by the white pistils on the tops of the stakes. After 4 weeks from the start of flowering, the buds should form, after which they will begin to fill with juices and swell.

Pruning marijuana leaves during flowering

At first, the process of pruning foliage is no different from training in the growing season. True, you should be careful, because now marijuana reacts more sensitively to any stress. The closer the grow gets to the harvest, the less leaves it will generate. Before harvesting, you need to stop pruning to save the remaining haulm. Through the leaves, hemp breathes, evaporates moisture and receives the main dose of illumination. If there is no foliage left at all, the plant risks dying before maturation. Toward the second half of flowering, the grower may notice that the leaves are turning yellow on the bush. If we are talking about the lower part of the grass, where the rays of light do not reach, the phenomenon is quite normal.

End of marijuana bloom

In the last stages of flowering, marijuana is more susceptible to any stress. Problems with weed nutrition and incorrect PH are especially acute. If the plant gives signs of deficiency or surplus of nutrients, it is worth quickly correcting the situation. A bad scenario would be a disease of the bush, which will sadly affect the quality of the cones. The natural signs include yellowing of the foliage. Due to the nutrition of the heads, the foliage receives much less useful substances, from which yellowing is observed.
