First Signs Of Flowering Stage Outdoors
Flowering is a crucial stage in the life cycle of cannabis plants. It’s when your plant will set flowers and produce buds, which contain the trichomes with all those therapeutic cannabinoids that you’re looking for. Most growers aim to get their plants into flower during the summer months as this gives them plenty of time to develop before winter. Flowering can take anywhere from 6-8 weeks depending on how well your plant has grown so far, but there are some key signs that will tell you exactly when it’s reached this stage:
Most cannabis plants tend to get to the flowering stage about half-way through summer.
You may be growing outdoors or indoors, but it’s likely that your cannabis plants will reach the flowering stage about halfway through summer. Flowering is the last stage of plant growth and is triggered by a change in light cycle. This means that when you shift your lighting schedule from 18 hours on and 6 hours off to 12 hours on and 12 hours off, your cannabis plant will begin its flowering period.
After the first week or so of this new light schedule, you’ll notice small white hairs start to appear all over your marijuana plant’s branches and leaves—this is called pistils (aka pistils) and they’re an indicator that it’s ready for harvest soon!
For the first two weeks of flowering, the buds will be small, but the formation of new pistils is important for further development.
For the first two weeks of flowering, the buds will be small, but the formation of new pistils is important for further development. Pistils are white hairs that grow out of the buds. The number of pistils per bud tells you how mature your plant is and its overall health. In general, more pistils means a larger harvest!
Upwards growth will slow down and lateral branches will get thicker and bigger, which will support larger buds.

- You’ll be able to see the difference between female plants and male plants as the female plants have more pistils (tiny hairs that grow on the plant).
White pistils may start to appear on female flowers – they’re an indication that your plant has started flowering.

White pistils are the female flowers and appear after the male pollen is released. They are the first sign that your plant has started flowering and indicates that it’s time to harvest some buds!
It’s worth keeping a close eye on plants during this time so you can catch any signs of early stress or issues before they become major problems.
It’s worth keeping a close eye on plants during this time so you can catch any signs of early stress or issues before they become major problems. The key thing to look for is discoloration, which can indicate trouble. For example, if your plant starts turning yellow or brown, it could be lacking nutrients or sunlight (or both). If you see any signs of pests, like aphids or whitefly nymphs, act quickly! The best way to deal with these common insects is by using an organic insecticidal soap. And finally, don’t forget to keep an eye out for diseases—if you see any new growth that looks abnormal while also noticing other symptoms like wilting leaves and reduced flower production/size then it may be time to call up the pros.
Cannabis plants can spend 8 weeks in flowering, but it’s always good to know what to look out for.
Flowering stage is the most important part of your cannabis plant’s growth cycle, and it lasts for 2-3 months. During this time, your plants will produce buds that are full of resin and THC (the psychoactive compound).
However, flowering can be difficult because during this process your plants are at their most vulnerable. If they get too much water or heat they can quickly become stressed out and die!
