Seedling
2-3 weeksCotyledons emerge with a pair of rounded seed leaves; true leaves develop within 7-10 days. Plant is delicate and pale green.
Keep soil moist but not saturated. Provide 16-18 hours of light daily. Maintain 70-75°F temperature. Protect from wind and direct heat.
Vegetative
4-8 weeksRapid stem elongation and leaf development. Plant develops multiple branches and deep green coloration. Robust root system establishes.
Maintain 16-18 hours of light and 12-14 hours darkness (outdoor). Apply balanced nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. Ensure adequate spacing for air circulation. Prune lower branches if desired to encourage upward growth.
Flowering Initiation
2-3 weeksPlant transitions to 12-hour light/dark cycle (late summer outdoors). Preflowers appear at branch nodes; plant architecture becomes more compact and bushy.
Reduce nitrogen; shift to phosphorus and potassium-rich fertilizer. Monitor for male flowers (sacs) if growing for sensimilla. Increase potassium and phosphorus for resin production.
Flowering & Bud Development
6-8 weeksDense flower clusters (buds) form with visible resinous trichomes. Suver Haze develops characteristic sweet, floral aroma. Flowers become increasingly potent.
Continue P-K dominant fertilizer. Monitor humidity (45-55%) to prevent powdery mildew. Scout for spider mites and aphids daily. Do not overwater. Support heavy branches if needed.
Harvest Ready
1-2 weeks (pre-harvest window)Trichomes turn milky white with some amber. Flowers are dense, aromatic, and resin-coated. Leaves begin to yellow slightly.
Flush soil with plain water 1-2 weeks before harvest to remove excess nutrients. Cut at peak trichome development (mostly cloudy, <10% amber). Dry slowly at 60-65°F, 45-55% RH for 7-10 days.

Common Pests
-
Spray with neem oil or insecticidal soap every 3-4 days. Maintain humidity above 50%. Introduce predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis). Remove heavily infested leaves.
-
Reduce humidity to 40-50%; improve air circulation with fans. Apply sulfur dust or potassium bicarbonate fungicide. Remove infected leaves. Avoid overhead watering.
-
Strong water spray to dislodge. Spray with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Release ladybugs or parasitic wasps. Reflective mulches can deter colonization.
-
Hand-pick if population is small. Apply Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) spray. Use pheromone traps to monitor. Remove damaged buds immediately.
-
Spray with sulfur or insecticidal soap at first sign. Increase humidity slightly (but not >60%). Remove heavily infested plant material. Consider predatory mites.

Harvest Tips
Harvest when 60-80% of trichomes are milky white with 10-20% amber; this indicates peak CBD content. Cut entire plant at soil level or harvest individual branches. Dry in darkness at 60-65°F with 45-55% relative humidity for 7-10 days. Cure in glass jars at 62°F and 62% RH for 2-4 weeks, burping jars daily to release moisture. Proper drying and curing maximizes terpene retention and CBD stability.
