Most gardeners don’t think about the gender of their plant when they choose a pot. However, seeds are made of living matter and they do not become either male or female until after they are planted and sprouted. The most likely ratio for plant to plant growth with female seeds is about 1-to-2 (about 66% female). If you begin to grow from seeds, it is best to assume at least half of the seeds are female.
If you do not wish to sow more female seeds than males, you can still grow your cannabis using female plants. To encourage growing from female plants, you will need to prune your plants when they are young, to ensure that the buds are open and airy. By pruning early on in your marijuana plant life, you can ensure that a substantial number of the buds have already opened and the growth cycle is on. However, you should wait until you have harvested all of your female plants before you begin to harvest the buds that are still developing.
It is important to prune female plants in order to prevent them from growing too tightly together and causing the plant to have a “bunching” effect. The buds that are close to one another will have a tendency to pull towards one another and this causes them to develop a “ducky” appearance. The buds that are farther apart should be left open so that air can circulate and keep the buds growing healthy and growing properly. Pruning can also help to encourage female growth in the plants you already have. Many cultivators trim their female plants as soon as the buds appear and this allows them to spread their roots further out in order to provide you with larger plants.
Female marijuana plants that have been pruned should be removed at least once every couple of years. If you live in an area where the climate is moderate, it is possible to prune these plants without much effort. Most people however prefer to prune these plants when they have a severe frost in the spring time. As soon as the plants begin to change color, it is a good idea to remove them before they begin to change shape. These flowers will usually look more pronounced in color when the buds on the stems begin to open.
Most females will grow faster if they are fertilized early on in their growth cycle. Once your fertilization is complete, wait until the flowering period is over to replant. Fertilizing your marijuana plants too early can delay flowering and cause your female plants to have poor results. After the flowering period is complete, you should wait until the next growing season in the fall or winter to replant any seeds that have not germinated.
Some females will not bloom after being exposed to direct sunlight for more than two weeks after they are replanted. If you are unable to get your female seeds to flower and bloom, then you may have to replant those that are dormant for up to a month. This could result in some unwanted results for you if you were able to get your plants to bloom prior to the flowering season.
After the flowering period has ended for your marijuana plants, it is a good idea to transplant them when they are full-flowering into a new pot so that your cannabis does not have to endure too much cold. and too much dryness in order to mature properly. The weather conditions where your cannabis plants are located are often affect the potency of each type of cannabis strain, and you will also have to consider the environment your plants will be grown in when they are transplanted.
Seedlings may require several months or years to fully mature and be ready to harvest. Some types of cannabis may take up to three years to fully mature and be ready to harvest. Although there are many different types of cannabis, all of them are harvested from the same plant during their life. Once you have harvested your cannabis, you can take it home, use it and enjoy it for a long time to come.
