Flowering Stage: What to Expect
The flowering stage is when cannabis plants produce buds. It begins after the vegetative stage and can last from 8 to 12 weeks.
Pre-Flowering Phase
Before the actual flowering starts, the plant may exhibit slight changes, such as longer internodes and a reduction in leaf growth. This is a prelude to the flowering period.
Initial Flowering Phase
During this phase, the first buds appear. The color changes from green to shades of purple or orange, depending on the strain.
Mid-Flowering Phase
At this stage, most of the flowers are visible. This is the time to check for pests and adjust the lighting if needed.
Final Flowering Phase
In the final stage, the flowers are almost fully developed. This is when you'll start to notice the scent of the bud.
Harvesting Tips
Harvesting at the right time is crucial. Look for the right color changes and trichome density to determine when to harvest.
