During this stage the plant continues to
fill out. The plant will show its sex more
clearly. The female plant produces little
creamy/white pistils. The plant will continue
to fill out more and its flowers will continue
to grow. It can take anywhere between 4 and 16
weeks for the plants to fully develop. During
this time though there are no males to
pollinate the female plants. The buds will grow
larger and develop more resin glands. Resin may
drop down onto the leaves and the plant becomes
very sticky. The hairs on the buds begin to get
thicker and cluster into balls. The reason for
the high increase in bud growth is that the
female plant is trying her best to attract male
pollen. Towards the last days of flowering the
pistils will change colour showing that the
plant is ready for harvest.
CYCLE TIMES
Given the above data it can take anywhere
between 10 weeks and 36 weeks for a plant to
grow to maturity. That is, again, anywhere
between 2.5 months to 9 months. The most common
grow time is 3 to 4 months. All this is
