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 pistils 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 color
Indicating 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 dependent on the strain that you choose. Pure
Sativa can run anywhere into the 6 - 9 month bracket. Indica can
flower in 6 weeks. As you can image a Sativa/Indica plant will fall into
the 2 - 4 month flowering period.
