Growth Stages

1

Cloning/Rooting

10-14 days

Small cuttings with 2-4 leaf nodes establish root systems in humid propagation environment

Maintain 70-80°F temperature, 80-90% humidity, and misting every 4-6 hours. Use rooting hormone. Provide low-intensity light (fluorescent or weak LED).

2

Vegetative Growth

3-8 weeks (grower-controlled)

Clone develops strong root system and bushy growth with multiple branches and fan leaves

Provide 18-24 hours of intense light daily. Maintain temperature 70-80°F. Prune to encourage bushiness. Use nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Monitor for pests.

3

Pre-Flowering/Transition

1-2 weeks

Plant begins changing from vegetative to reproductive growth as photoperiod shifts to 12/12 light cycle

Switch to 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle. Reduce nitrogen, begin phosphorus and potassium supplementation. Maintain stable temperature (65-75°F).

4

Flowering

55-70 days

Dense clusters of resinous buds develop with prominent trichomes and distinctive aroma

Maintain strict 12/12 photoperiod in dark environment. Use bloom-specific fertilizer with elevated P-K ratios. Increase airflow. Reduce watering slightly. Monitor humidity (40-50%).

5

Harvest

Harvest window: 1-2 weeks

Mature buds with milky/amber trichomes ready for drying and curing

Harvest when 70-90% of pistils have darkened and trichomes appear milky with some amber. Dry at 60-70°F, 50-60% humidity for 7-14 days, then cure for 2-4 weeks.

Harvest Tips

Harvest when approximately 70-90% of pistils have darkened and trichomes appear milky white with some amber coloration when viewed under magnification. Cut at the base of the main stem or individual branches. Dry in dark, well-ventilated space at 60-70°F with 50-60% humidity for 7-14 days until stems snap.
