Indoor: Start, 16-18 hours light 3-6 months, 12 hrs to force flowering Some growers start the flowering

cycle at 10-12 hours of darkness. After 4 weeks they turn up the dark part of the cycle to 14-16 hours of darkness and the buds quickly mature. Early growth stages: 7-9-5 or 5-10-5 or 4-5-3. For the flowering stages use 3-10-4 or 5-20-5 or 4-30-12 1. Slowdown then stop of vegetative growth. 4-10 days after beginning forcin g. Lasts up to a week. 2. Appearance of first flowers. 10 days to 15 days after beginning forcing. 3. Massive growth of flowers at the budding sites. Continuing after the firs t appearance of flowers for 30 to 40 days. During this time the buds develop and take shape. Starting with a few flowers, layer after layer of flowers is grown until the bud sites are merged together into one large cola. 4. Maturation. Eventually the pistils start to turn color from pale white to red or brown At the same time the flowers close up, forming false seed pods. Th e small glands on the flowers now start to grow. These are called stalked capita te glands and are composed of a tiny stalk supporting a thin clear membrane. As THC is produced near the site, the membrane swells with the potent liquid. The m embrane stretches and the gland takes on the appearance of a mushroom. When the glands have swelled and the pistil has receded into the false pod, the bud is re ady to pick.
