How is flowering induced in cannabis?
Light is the major key component to induce flowering in the cannabis plant. The plant should be kept completely dark for 12 hours each day. The dark periods automatically induce flowering in the plant by making the plant think it is entering the autumn months.
How tall should you be before switching to flower?
If an indica plant is switched to flowering when it is 12 inches tall it can be expected to finish flowering at about 18 inches, give or take. That math is pretty consistent, so a 2-foot tall indica will likely finish flowering around 3 feet tall.
How do you transition from vegetative to indoor flowering?
Switching from Veg to Bloom Plants begin budding when they get at least 12 hours of ‘uninterrupted’ darkness each night (12/12). This must continue until harvest. Even if darkness is interrupted briefly, flowering will be hindered. In fact plants may revert back to veg unless 12 hour nights are maintained.
Can you tell strain by seed?
You can grow plants from seeds or create a clone of a plant from a cutting. You also can’t tell the strain of a plant by looking at a seed, so unless you know which strain of plant the seed came from, you have no idea what strain the seed will produce. Plants from seeds generally are more vigorous.
What are internodes in cannabis?
Internodes, on the other hand, are the sections of stem/branch between two nodes. Cannabis strains that are known for stretching generally have longer internodes than other varieties. WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?
Is Cannabis sativa a dioecious plant?
Cannabis sativaL. (Cannabis, hemp, marijuana) is an annual flowering plant of the family Cannabaceae. Although Cannabisis usually dioecious, hermaphroditism occurs in some cultivars (Figure 1A) and both formal and informal breeding programs have resulted in some monoecious cultivars, primarily restricted to hemp [21,22,23].
What is the difference between sativa and sativa Cannabis plants?
In contrast, sativa cannabis plants are far taller and less branchy. Stretching is common to sativa varieties. Typically, plants develop fewer nodes with large internodal spaces between sets of branches.
Why do cannabis plants have stretches?
This is because they develop more nodes with tight internode spacing. In contrast, sativa cannabis plants are far taller and less branchy. Stretching is common to sativa varieties. Typically, plants develop fewer nodes with large internodal spaces between sets of branches.
