Cannabis plants ready for their flowering season to start.
During the end of their flowering cycle the leafs will start to turn yellow.
This article will give you a simplified look at the natural flowering cycle of a Cannabis plant.
While the days get shorter and the summer has ended, the flowering cycle is being triggered within a Cannabis plant.
The seasonal change is noticed by the plant and warns it that it needs to start its reproduction/flowering cycle before the winter will kill it.
At the start of the flowering cycle the plant will get a surge of energy and grows swiftly up in height, sometimes doubling in height within the first two-three weeks.
After this little grow frenzy most Cannabis plants completely stop growing in height, which depends on the type of Cannabis.
sativa strains tend to grow a bit longer and higher than their Indica counterparts.
The first pistils will show on the female cannabis plant, slowly growing in numbers until most stems are covered with clusters of white pistils.
These pistils, also known as stigma's, are joined to a calyx.
The calyx is the Cannabis plants version of a female womb and will grow a seed when pollinated by pollen grain from a male Cannabis plant.
Male (staminate) Cannabis flowers just before opening and releasing their pollen.
The calyx are covered with a sticky resin excreted from the plants resin glands that cover most parts of the plant, this resin contains the plants active components like cannabinoids.
Our female cannabis plant, which is growing far away from any male Cannabis so will not be pollinated, grows more pistils to increase the change of pollination.
eventually those pistils will shrinkle away, some turn brown or red-ish and the calyx will swell up forming a solid cluster of "buds".
the resin amount secreted by the plant increases and the cannabinoids slowly change on a molecular level, increasing the levels of THC right until harvest time.
As soon as about 80% of the pistils have either disappeared or changed color, our cannabis plant is ready to be harvested.
