Trimming Marijuana

Marijuana is a wonderful plant that grows naturally on the planet. Unfortunately, it is still illegal to grow marijuana in many countries. Please check your local laws before cultivating marijuana. That said, let's growing!

This has been a month and a half and you're finally ready to bloom! The first thing to understand is that some of your plants can be male plants. The female flower plants, resulting in the smoke of herbs . The male plants grow pollen sacks that permeate the female plants, the creation of seed. Unless you want seeds for future grows, it is important to identify the male plants once they show signs. The first stage of flowering is the evolution of the distribution of light. Your plants are used for 18 or 24 hours of light per day. In nature, plants bloom when the light of day shortened to stimulate flowering, change your lighting to 12 hours and 12 hours off every day. Also empty your nutrients and pass measures of flowering. In the first week, you should keep a very close eye on the sex of your plants. The male plants grow into small balls which eventually opened with pollen. Female plants grow flowers. You can detect a female plant early, because it will be more and more hairs on the calyx located on flowering branches.

Flowering time varies depending on the strain. Typical times are between 8 and 12 weeks. Make sure to rinse water regularly and keep your calendar on the MPCs under your nutrients. Your grass will be ready for harvest when at least 30% of the pistils (hairs), turn from clear to red / orange. If you have a microscope, take a look at the trichomes. These look almost like mushrooms just under 50x magnification. Like the hair to orange, the top of the trichomes turn from clear to white. From 30% + white trichomes above also means the will of the harvest. It is also important to note that the early harvest resulted in more than a head high, while the late harvest of orange hair done more for more of a couch lock effect.

In the last week before harvest, it is also important to flush out all the nutrients. It is optional to keep watering during this period. The plant will have an excess of nitrogen and other elements and stop nutrients causes the plant to use all the excess. That makes for a tastier and smoother final. It has also been theorized that the maintenance of lights for three days in the life of the plant increases the THC. This theory makes sense because the plants stress each time something unusual happens or threatening. THC is the natural defense mechanism for cannabis when he really could not hurt to try.

Its time to begin harvesting by cutting each flowering branches near the stem. Discard the leaves and branches of the main stem. Take your collection of flowering branches and cut all the fan-shaped leaves. Get a nice pair of scissors and cut the leaves to the place where the flowers are the most exposed. Hang the branches cut back to front in the dark, in a well ventilated area for 3-5 days. Wait until the plants have exhausted most of their water before removing them from the room.

Now that the grass is cut and dried for several days, it is time to heal. It is the most important step in the whole thing. All shortcuts here undermine your month of patience so do not get too ahead of yourself. Your grass is good but it still has an excess of chlorophyll and amino acids. Hardening highlights the flavor and helps the grass to update its potential. THC is the substance.
