Pre-Flowering And Flowering Tips For Growing Marijuana

By now you have managed to set up the basic environment in which your indoor plant will grow. You have your plants in some pots under a grow light with some white surfaces nearby and some fresh air in the room. You have also been watering your plant properly and you have been adjusting the pH and Nutrients in the soil.

Everyone makes mistakes on their first time growing. Very few get to this stage without problems, so don't feel too bad if you did not get it right. Growing marijuana is like riding a bike. Once you get it, it is hard to forget.

You have been adjusting your lights and watching your plants grow. If you have not had any problems your plants should have a number of nodes and a small leaf mass at the top of your plant which you know is going to form the next set of leaves and branches.

Your leaves should be flat and stretched out. If they are, then your plant is enjoying its environment. If not then maybe you should consider turning to our problem solver chapter to see what has gone wrong.

You have been watching the height of your plant every week and now the plant is becoming more like the picture of the strain that you viewed in the seed-bank brochures. Then one day you notice that the plant is not growing much taller anymore. It seems to have stopped. You take a closer look and see that there appears to be small new growths at most of the nodes between the stem and the branch. This is new to you. These have not developed before so you ask yourself, "what are they?"

Your plant is now reaching the end of its vegetative stage. These small new growths are going to produce more leaf, branches and FLOWERS. The plant is now entering its Pre-flowering stage.

PRE-FLOWERING

Now is the time when you should be hoping for as many females as possible and that all your work has not been in vain. You closely look at the new growths (Calyx) to see if you can identify your plants sex, but it is still too early to tell.

The early stages all look the same you say? What should you do now? You do not know? You will have to wait and see.

There are three things that can reveal your plant's sex early on but these are not 100% accurate. They are more of an educated guess. So remember these methods can fail to be accurate but most of the time they are a good indicator.

First Early Sexing Method

If you have been growing the same strain and all the seeds at the same time, then you may notice that some plants are taller than others. This is a sign that the smaller plants are female and the taller ones are male.

If you want too, you can separate your plants into two sections in order to see how good your guesswork was when you do finally identify sex. The other thing to know is that male plants in general start to pre-flower before females. If you have taller plants that are producing new growths before the smaller ones, then the taller plants are probably male.

Second Early Sexing Method

A good way to identify plant sex at early date is to look at the calyx with the aid of a very fine magnifying glass. (See last page of this book for pre-flowering/calyx illustration)

If the calyx is raised on a stem then it is probably a male. If the calyx is not raised on a stem then it is probably a female.

Third Early Sexing Method

Force-flowering a cutting is probably the best early sexing method out there. Simply take a cutting from the plant that you want to sex and place the cutting in a cup of water or into a cloning medium such as rockwool. Give the cutting 12 hours light and 12 hours total darkness. The cutting will flower and display its sex. Clones will carry the exact same genetic make-up as the plant it came from, including sex.

These methods are NOT 100% accurate but will help you to understand more about the visible differences between male and female plants. In a moment we will explain how to identify sex properly and completely.

THE PRE-FLOWERING TIME

Your plant will Pre-flower between 1 and 2 weeks and during this period the new growth regions begin to change shape depending on whether the plant is male or female. It is during this shape change that you can properly detect your plant's sex.

WHEN TO FLOWER?

Pre-flowering is a sign that your plant is mature enough to start flowering. As a grower you have a simple choice to make. Do you want to flower now? Or do you want to continue vegetative growth? Here are a few facts before you make that choice.

  • Most cannabis plants can be kept alive for up to 10 years by simply keeping a light on the plant at all times. These plants will grow to a certain height and then form into a bush. It will then eventually stop producing branches and will spend the rest of its life growing new leaves to replace the old ones.
  • Bud production is not equal to the height of your plant. Bud production is equal to your growing environment, your strain's genetic make-up and the amount of nodes that the plant has. All nodes are potential bud areas, but every strain has a genetic threshold for bud production.
  • It possible to get more bud with lots of plants which are flowered as soon as they are mature (which also keeps them shorter and smaller), than extending vegetative growth with less plants until they reach their maximum height and size. The time frame for the shorter option may also produce more bud turnover per annum.

Keeping these things in mind, you can either choose to flower now or choose to keep your plant growing until it reaches its size threshold before you start flowering. If you take the longer route then prepare to have the space for it, because when you flower most cannabis strains they can sometimes more than double in height and width.

If you have pre-flowers and want to flower you only have to do one thing. You must put your plants under a 12/12 schedule.

Grow Light Height

A Picture of an indoor grow by Mia Stoner

THE ALL-IMPORTANT 12/12!

Most people never get good results or bud quantities from cannabis plants because they have never heard of 12/12.

12/12 is easy to explain. Cannabis plants grow outdoors naturally between the months of April to October/November. This means that towards the Sept/Oct/Nov dates the plants will be in flowering. During this time the days get shorter and the nights get longer. When this occurs the plant is under 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. When this 12/12 PHOTOPERIOD occurs the plant is naturally stimulated to flower. If the 12/12 continues then the plant will produce its flowers. As long as 12/12 continues the flowers will grow larger and more plentiful. This is part of the cannabis plants evolution and how it has taught itself when to flower. Naturally as a grower we want lots of flowers so we need to put the plant through a light cycle of 12/12. This means that we must turn our lights on and off at these given ratios.

During pre-flowering you will either manually turn on your lights for 12 hours and turn off your light for 12 hours everyday or you will use an automatic timer. If your light comes with a timer set the timer to do this. Throughout the 12 hours of darkness it is best to keep your grow area as dark a possible. A small desk light at the other side of your room will cause your plant not to react properly to 12/12 which will result in continued vegetative growth. In fact any light that penetrates the darkness will stop your plants from flowering properly. That means that your grow room must be sealed to the point where it is completely light proof. If you want to learn how to do this perfectly then I suggest that you read up on 'Photography Dark Rooms', either on the Internet or in your local library.

Photographers use common items that can be bought in most hardware shops to make their film-processing rooms light tight. If you can replicate their ideas (basically a thick black screening around the doorframes or any open light points) then you will have a great system for flowering plants in. I think most of you would have done this by now anyway if you listened and took the advice on covering your grow with either Mylar or white walls/boards. If you have prevented any light from leaking out, then you have prevented light from leaking in!

Problems with 12/12

If you switch to 12/12 before pre-flowers have shown then you may encounter the following problems.

  • Stress related sex problems (Hermaphrodites).
  • Abnormal bud growth.

Stress related sex problems MIGHT produce hermaphrodite plants. The stress of what is sometimes called "early flowering" (it is not really early flowering, there is no such thing as early flowering. We will explain this in a moment) triggers the plant into a situation where it thinks that its chances of reproduction are slim to none. That situation is a condition called - 'self-pollination'. It does this by producing both male and female flowers on the same plant. The male flowers then pollinate the female flowers which will eventually produce seeds. The reason for this is that the plant notices that the photoperiod is irregular and that it should no longer be in the vegetative cycle but in flowering. This shocks the plant into a last ditch effort to receive pollen because it feels that it has missed its chance to receive pollen already (in the wild males release their pollen just around the time that females begin to flower and sometimes even before that).

What Marijuana Pistils Look Like

This is what hermies look like. Notice that both male pollen pods and female pistils are present on the plant. Picture by Rasta Linus.

Preflower Week

Here is another shot of the condition. The male pods are clearly visible by Rasta Linus.

Hermies

Hermies cause problems because they may carry the hermie trait with their offspring. In fact, genetically the hermie will only produce female seeds and hermaphrodite seeds. It will never produce a male seed. If you have ever seen all female seeds been advertised by seed-banks then you should have the right to know that these seeds come from female plants which are stressed into producing male flowers. The plants then self-pollinate themselves and the results are female and hermaphrodite seeds. In a special case a female known as an XX female will produce more female seeds than hermaphrodite seeds. That is how female seeds are created. In general growers try to keep away from any hermie plants because they will spoil a Sinsemilla crop. Also having pollen floating around in your grow room from a hermie plant will spoil everything else including breeding projects.

Abnormal bud growth is a side effect of this. Because the plant produces male pollen sacks in with female flowers you may notice that the bud looks different. Also the quantity of female bud produced is decreased because of pollination.

Cannabis Pre Flower

These series of shots also show the hermie condition clearly. Picture by Tick.

Early induced flowering is not technically forcing your plant to flower. If you force flower on one strain that has not pre-flowered it will flower at roughly the same time as an exact copy of the same strain which has been flowered only when the pre-flowers appear naturally. Force flowering simply acts by stressing the plant into a crisis condition.

Get the best out of your plant and wait until your plant starts pre-flowering before switching to 12/12.

Keep feeding and watering your plant as normal. Pay attention to the flowering areas as they begin to grow. At this stage you may want to switch to your flowering feeds. Soon you will be able to see your plant's sex.

THE MALE/FEMALE THING or HOW TO SEX YOUR PLANTS

You now have spent time and money on your plants. You have grown a small selection in the hope that you will get some females out of them in the end. If you end up with no female plants out of 15 seeds then send the seed-bank a

letter explaining how out of the 15 seeds 15 where male. If you are lucky and sincere in your writing then the seed-bank may send you some free seeds or give you a discount on your next order. Seed-Banks or breeders are not responsible for male/female ratios. It simply is not under their control. People get 100% females and others get 100% males, but it is rare that such a thing will happen. To get 5 or more females in a pack of 15 is a good thing.

Here are some pictures of male and female plants.

Preflowering Cannabis

This is a picture of a male plant. You can see the male pod clusters clearly. The picture is by the 'Chronic Couple'.

Cannabis Preflower Pics

This is a female plant by BigIslandBud.

Notice how the female produces little white hairs and the male produces little ball like shapes. This is the definitive male/female telltale factor. Do not kill away any plants before you see these flowers. It is the only time that you can really say for sure if the plant is male or female.

FLOWERING

If all things have gone well and you have taken good care of your plants, you will now enter the flowering stage of the plant's life cycle. You have removed and maybe killed off the males. You now have a number of females to work with. This is going to be the most important time you will spend taking care of your plant.

The male plant produces pollen sacks which, when ripe, burst and scatter pollen to the female plants. The female plant produces white hairs at the internodes and top cola (head) of the plant during flowering. These hairs (pistils) begin to curl slightly and grow longer and thicker. The top cola should carry the most pistils. These pistils are sticky too

touch (do not touch them too much! they also contain your much wanted THC) and begin to cover in resin over the flowering period. The reason for the stickiness is that it is used by the female to catch falling pollen. If the female plant is not Pollinated she will try to grow more sticky areas. Hence the results of a sinsemilla crop........Bigger and Better Buds!

Cannabis Flowers Time

Picture by BushyOlderGrower.

During the strict cycle of 12/12 she will eventually reach a peak period of flowering. Along with the flowering cycle the plant will also fill out more. More leaves, more branches and more flowers. Your plant will start to almost take the shape of a Christmas tree. The lower fan leaves will be stretched out to the max in order to receive the most light. Running upward in a cone shape she will get tighter with floral and leaf development.

During the peak period of flowering the female pistils on the flowers tips will swell up. When the swelling takes place the pistils will begin to change in colour. They will generally change from a white to an orange tint to a red tint to a brown tint. All strains are different but in general it is a white to red or a white to brown colour change (It is best to use the breeders recommended flowering times for harvest guidelines though). When she does this you are ready to harvest her and sample your favourite herb.

Each strain does have their own flowering times and each strain also may have a different colour tint when they reach a flowering peak.

    Can you talk cannabis plants in pre flower?
    10 months ago
  • Yes, I can provide some information about cannabis plants in the pre-flower stage. During the pre-flower stage, also known as the pre-flowering or transition stage, cannabis plants exhibit certain characteristics that indicate they are preparing for flowering. This stage typically occurs when the plants have transitioned from the vegetative stage and are on the verge of entering the flowering stage. Here are a few key points about cannabis plants in pre-flower:
    1. Identification: In pre-flower, female plants will develop small, translucent hair-like structures called pistils. These pistils are the early signs of female flowers and can be easily identified. Male plants, on the other hand, will begin to show small clusters or "balls" known as pollen sacs, indicating their gender.
    2. Timing: Pre-flower typically appears around 3-6 weeks after germination, depending on the strain and growing conditions. However, it can vary, so it's essential to observe the plant's development and adjust your cultivation methods accordingly.
    3. Growth: During pre-flower, the plants may stretch and focus on developing new nodes, which will eventually turn into branches. It's critical to ensure proper space and lighting to accommodate this growth. Manipulation techniques like topping or training can also be done during this stage to promote bushier growth.
    4. Sexual Differentiation: Pre-flowering is when you can determine the sex of the plant. Female plants are desired for their flower production, while male plants produce pollen. If you're solely interested in bud production, remove any male plants to avoid pollination, which can lead to seedy buds.
    5. Hormonal Changes: The pre-flower stage indicates hormonal shifts within the plant, preparing it for sexual reproduction. These changes trigger the production of flowers, which will develop into buds during the flowering stage.
    6. Lighting Requirements: Cannabis plants need an uninterrupted dark period of 12 hours or more per day to initiate flowering. During the pre-flower stage, ensure the plant receives the appropriate amount of light and dark cycles for successful transition into the flowering stage.
    7. Remember, every cannabis strain may exhibit slightly different characteristics during the pre-flower stage. It's crucial to monitor the plants closely to determine the optimal time for transitioning to the flowering stage for the best results in terms of yield and potency.

      How to stop preflower marajuana?
      1 year ago
    • To stop preflower in marijuana plants, you can follow these steps:
      1. Reduce the light exposure: Pre-flowering usually occurs due to an extended period of light exposure. By reducing the amount of light the plants receive, you can delay pre-flowering. Provide your plants with only 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness each day.
      2. Increase the dark period: Sometimes, reducing the light exposure to 12 hours may not be sufficient. In such cases, consider increasing the dark period to 14-16 hours a day to help prevent pre-flowering.
      3. Ensure consistent light exposure: Maintain a consistent cycle of light and dark periods for your marijuana plants. Any disturbances in lighting schedules can trigger pre-flowering.
      4. Use a light-tight space: Ensure that your grow space is light-tight to prevent any accidental exposure to light during the dark period. Even a small amount of light can trigger pre-flowering.
      5. Avoid temperature fluctuations: Temperature fluctuations can also trigger pre-flowering. Maintain a consistent temperature range for your plants, ideally between 70-85°F (21-29°C) during the day and slightly lower at night.
      6. Select appropriate strains: Some marijuana strains are genetically predisposed to pre-flowering earlier than others. Choosing strains that are known for late pre-flowering can help avoid premature flowering.
      7. Monitor nutrient levels: Overfeeding or underfeeding your plants can also cause pre-flowering. Be sure to monitor and maintain proper nutrient levels in the growing medium.
      8. Avoid stressors: Ensure that your plants are not exposed to any extreme stressors, such as excessive heat, cold, pests, or disease. Stressed plants are more likely to pre-flower prematurely.
      9. By following these steps, you can help prevent pre-flowering and allow your marijuana plants to continue vegetative growth before transitioning to the flowering stage.

        When to start adding phosphorus to auto preflower?
        1 year ago
      • It is generally recommended to start adding phosphorus to auto preflower plants once they enter the flowering stage. This usually occurs about 4-6 weeks after germination, depending on the specific strain and growing conditions. However, it is important to monitor the plant's nutrient needs and adjust accordingly. Some growers may prefer to gradually introduce phosphorus during the pre-flowering stage to encourage early bud development, while others may wait until full flowering begins. It's advisable to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific nutrient products being used, as well as to regularly assess the plant's overall health and response to the added phosphorus.

          Do bigger pots mean bigger buds?
          1 year ago
        • The size of the pot can impact the size of the buds, but it is not the only determining factor. Other factors such as genetics, lighting, nutrients, and care also play significant roles in the size and quality of the buds. However, providing plants with a larger pot can allow for more root development and potentially lead to larger plants with bigger buds.

                                              • In the early stages, it can be difficult to tell the difference between male and female pot plants. However, there are a few subtle signs to look out for. Male plants typically have thicker stems, larger leaves, and rounder calyxes (the base of the flower). Female plants tend to have thinner stems, more slender leaves, and pointed calyxes. During flowering, male plants will produce pollen sacs while female plants will produce “bracts” which contain the flowers and buds.

                                                                                                        1. Manipulate Light: Long days and short nights are essential for flowering outside. To achieve this, you can use low-wattage grow lights in the evening to extend the amount of light the plants receive. This will help promote flowering.
                                                                                                        2. Temperature Control: Cooler temperatures promote flowering in outdoor plants. During the day, you can use shade cloths or other methods of shading to keep the temperature low.
                                                                                                        3. Water Management: Proper water management is essential for outdoor flowering. The soil should be kept well-drained and avoid periods of extreme dryness. Additionally, you can fertilize the soil to encourage flowering.

Here are some tips to help you care for pre-flowering marijuana plants:
                                                                                                                                    1. Lighting: Ensure your plants receive 12 hours of intense light (preferably halide or LED lighting) followed by 12 hours of total darkness to simulate the natural light cycle required for flowering. Use a timer to automate the light schedule.
                                                                                                                                    2. Temperature and humidity: Maintain the temperature between 65-80°F (18-26°C) during the day and slightly lower at night. Keep the humidity level around 40-60% for optimal growth. Proper ventilation is crucial to prevent mold and mildew.
                                                                                                                                    3. Watering: Water your plants when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Use well-draining soil and ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.
                                                                                                                                    4. Nutrients: Provide a balanced nutrient solution specifically formulated for the flowering stage. High-quality fertilizers with a ratio of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) such as 5-10-10 or 10-30-10 can promote flower development. Follow the recommended dosage and instructions provided by the manufacturer.
                                                                                                                                    5. Pruning and training: Remove any yellowing or dead leaves to improve airflow and prevent diseases. Consider gentle pruning and training techniques, such as topping or low-stress training (LST), to promote bushier growth and increase the number of budding sites.
                                                                                                                                    6. Pest and disease control: Regularly inspect your plants for pests like mites, aphids, or fungus gnats. Use organic pesticides or insecticidal soaps to control infestations. Maintain a clean and sterile environment to avoid common diseases like powdery mildew or bud rot.
                                                                                                                                    7. Supportive structures: As the buds develop, provide additional support using stakes or strings to prevent the plants from collapsing under their own weight.
                                                                                                                                    8. Patience and observation: Monitor your plants closely for any signs of nutrient deficiencies, stress, or irregularities. Adjust your care routine accordingly. Pre-flowering lasts for several weeks, so be patient and observe your plants' progress.
                                                                                                                                    9. Remember, these tips provide general guidance, and each strain may have specific requirements. Always research and follow the best practices recommended for the particular strain you are growing.

The leaves will have a palmate shape with serrated edges and uniform size. At the top of the plant, you may see pistils, which are the female reproductive structures, emerging from the seed heads. The pistils may be white, yellow, orange, or red in color and can have a fuzzy or wispy appearance. When you squeeze the stem of the pre-flowering weed plant, you may see a sticky, aromatic substance coming from the glandular heads.

The amount of light the plant receives will determine the development of the plant and its flowering stage. Too much light can cause the plant to enter the flowering stage prematurely, while too little light can delay the flowering stage.

Here are some characteristics you might observe:
                                                                                                                                                                          1. Formation of gender signs: Pre-flowering is the stage where the plant starts to show its gender. In female plants, small hair-like structures called pistils emerge at the nodes. In male plants, small sacs known as pollen sacs or "balls" can be seen.
                                                                                                                                                                          2. Stunted growth: The plants may stop stretching and focus more on developing buds, which can result in a compact and bushier shape. However, this can vary depending on the strain and growing conditions.
                                                                                                                                                                          3. Clustered growth: You may notice the formation of clusters or nodes, where leaves and branches come together closely. These nodes are potential bud sites.
                                                                                                                                                                          4. White hairs or pistils: Female plants will produce white, hair-like pistils emerging from the nodes. These pistils will eventually become the buds.
                                                                                                                                                                          5. Changes in color and texture: The leaves and foliage might change color, turning slightly darker or acquiring a reddish hue. Some strains may display purple or pink coloration during pre-flowering.
                                                                                                                                                                          6. It is important to note that the onset of pre-flowering can vary depending on factors like the strain, light cycle, and the vegetative growth period.

Cannabis plants typically begin flowering when the plant is exposed to 12 hours or less of light per day. This can be triggered by changing the photoperiod (light cycle) or introducing light deprivation (light interruption).

The light should be changed to a 12/12 light cycle (12 hours of light followed by 12 hours of darkness) for the preflowering stage. This signals the plants to begin flowering, which leads to the development of buds.

Fertilize: Add fertilizer or a slow-release fertilizer to the ground around the plants to up the nutrient content.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  5. Watering: Water your plants regularly to keep the soil moist and help the plants get off to a good start. If you're in a dry climate, you may need to water more frequently.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  6. Pruning: If your plants are getting too leggy, you may want to prune them back to encourage bushier growth. Make sure to do this in the early stages before flowering.

To determine if your plant needs to be flipped, also look for signs of overcrowding, such as stunted growth, leaf curling, and discolored leaves. Additionally, if your plant is not getting enough sunlight, it may need to be flipped to maximize its exposure to the sun.

It is usually triggered by environmental conditions such as light, temperature, humidity and nutrient levels. In some cases, preflowering can be caused by stress, including overwatering, underwatering, nutrient deficiencies or pest infestations.

Pre-flowering is the point at which the plant begins to form new flowers and buds, which can be recognized by the small white hair-like pistils coming out of the nodes in the plant. To differentiate pre-flowering from budding, look at the size of the buds. Pre-flowering buds are still small, while budding will lead to larger and denser buds.

This is because female marijuana plants may occasionally produce what is known as "hermaphroditic flowers." These hermaphroditic flowers possess both male and female reproductive organs, and can appear very similar to male flowers.

These gonads look like a small ball and can be green, yellow, or white in color. You can also look for pistils in the nodes. Pistils are small, stalk-like hairs that can range in color from white to red or brown. Pre-flowering plants may also produce a sweet, grassy aroma.

Preflower is the period of time between the vegetative stage and the flowering stage of a plant's growth cycle. During preflower, the plant begins to form the structures that will produce the plant's flowers. Flowering, on the other hand, is the process of plant reproduction, in which the plant's flowers are produced and the plant produces seed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              1. Increase the amount of light your cannabis plants are receiving. You can do this by increasing the number of hours of light they get each day or by replacing the existing grow lights with higher wattage lights.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              2. Keep the temperatures and humidity levels stable in the grow area. Temperature should be between 70-75°F (21-24°C) and humidity levels should remain between 40-50%.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              3. Ensure the plants are getting adequate amounts of nutrients, especially nitrogen, which is essential for healthy growth.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              4. Prune away any dying or damaged leaves and branches to maintain the plant's focus on producing new buds.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              5. Train your plants to grow in a certain direction, either by topping or through low-stress techniques such as LST. This will help the plants have more access to light, thus increasing their potential for producing larger yields.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              6. Keep an eye out for any signs of nutrient deficiencies or pests, and take steps to address them promptly.

Preflowering is the period when the plant is transitioning from vegetation to flower and the plant has already developed a root system at this point, so flipping is not necessary or recommended.

For example, if you want to harvest an early crop of marijuana, you can force flowering your plants by changing the light cycle and exposing them to 12 hours of darkness a day. This will trigger the cannabis plants to flower and produce buds, even though it is out of their natural cycle. To force flower your weed, you will need to make sure your plants are ready by giving them the appropriate amount of light and nutrients. Then, gradually reduce the amount of light they receive to 12 hours of darkness and 12 hours of light. After a few weeks of this regular dark/light cycle, your cannabis plants should begin to flower.

Male plants are identified by their pollen sacs, while female plants are identified by their stigma, or white pistils. Male plants will produce pollen sacks, while female plants will produce buds. Also, male plants typically flower sooner than female plants.

The most obvious way to tell if your plant is in preflowering is to look for the preflower structures- small nodules that will appear along the internodes (the spaces between branches) on the main cola, or the top bud. These structures will look like small, clustered leaves that are white or light green in color.

During the preflowering stage, the plants are preparing for fertilization.

Preflowering occurs when the plant is in its vegetative stage, before it begins to flower and produce buds. During preflowering, plants typically exhibit different growth habits and may be identified by the presence of visible sexual characteristics.

Provide adequate airflow around your plants. As your plants enter the pre-flowering stage, they need enough air circulation to help prevent diseases from affecting them.

Shield your plants from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves of your plants, so be sure to provide some shade for them during peak hours.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        6. Check for signs of flowering. As your plants near the flowering stage, the tips of the branches will start to produce buds. Be sure to harvest your flowers before the end of the flowering period.

During this time, the plants are growing vegetatively and are actively building up their root systems, stems, and leaves. The cannabis plants will start to form buds during the pre-flowering stage, though the buds will not begin to mature until the flowering phase.
