Vegetative Growth:
The plant now begins to grow at the rate which its leaves can
produce energy. At this stage the plant needs all the light and food it
can get. It will continue to grow upwards producing new leaves as it
moves along It will also produce a thicker stem with
thicker branches and with more fingers on the leaves. It will eventually
start to show its s*x. When it does this it is time for the plant’s preflowering stage. It can take anywhere between 1 and 5 months for the
plant to hit this next stage.
Pre-flowering:
At this stage the plant slows down in developing its height
and starts to produce more branches and nodes. The plant fills out in
the pre-flowering stage. During this phase of the plant cycle your plant
will start to show a calyx which appears where the branches meet the
stem (nodes). Pre-flowering can take anywhere between 1 day to 2
weeks. (See last page of this book for pre-flowering/calyx illustration
Flowering:
During this stage the plant continues to fill out. The plant will show its
s*x clearly. The male plant produces little balls that are clustered
together like grapes. The female plant produces little white/cream
pistils that look like hairs coming out of a pod. Each of the plants will
continue to fill out more and their flowers will continue to grow. It can
take anywhere between 4 to 16 weeks for the plant to fully develop its
flowers. During this time the male’s pollen sacks would
have burst spreading pollen to the female flowers
