During this stage, cannabis plants are hardy and can bounce back from problems. Note by Nebula: In some instances, photoperiod strains of cannabis may be easier to grow indoors if you are a new grower because you can give yourself as much time as you need in the vegetative stage. The flowering process is generally thought to be the most delicate time for the plant so the utmost care should be given to a plant in its flowering cycle. Photoperiod cannabis may be easier to grow indoors for new growers because it can be abused in the vegetative state and have time to recover because it can be vegetated until the grower decides to change the light cycle to flowering. Outdoor cannabis will not grow naturally any other time of year without supplemental lighting and darkness. Outdoor naturally grown cannabis will be ready to harvest in the fall (specifics varying depending on location, as daylight availability depends on your latitude). If planted outside, growing photoperiod cannabis is only viable "naturally" when planted at the beginning of the summer, naturally entering flowering mode at the end of the summer when the days become shorter.
#PHOTOTIME REVIEW FULL#
Photoperiod cannabis is the 'industry' standard it is the natural state of THC-potent cannabis strains.Ĭannabis sativa and cannabis indica will vegetate almost indefinitely on anything between an 18/6 and 24/0 light schedule, and will only enter full flowering mode when its lighting schedule is limited to 12/12. Respond well to LST and other gentle training Need approximately the same amount of nutrient care.Ĭan potentially be grown to produce the same size plants with similar yields. Seeds can generate male or female plants, unless the seeds are feminized. This means that these plants grow from new seeds every year, and die at the end of the flowering process, ideally mating, creating and releasing seeds that will grow as the next generation.Ĭan be stressed and herm (grow both male and female parts) as a result of incorrect light cycle changes.
It its natural state, cannabis is an annual plant. (Learn more: Can you "top" auto-flowering strains?) May not respond well to topping and super-cropping. Will usually produce a smaller plant and therefore limited yield.Ĭan't take much abuse due to limited growth time. Usually will produce usable yield sooner (some as soon as 2 months from seed germination, and usually around 3 months from seed). Will flower automatically, regardless of light cycle. Will vegetate for a limited amount of time before automatically going into flowering mode (each strain's vegetative time will be different).Ĭannot be cloned (in the traditional sense), one seed = one plant. Responds well to topping and super-cropping in the vegetative cycle. Will often produce a more potent bud (though that's changing now that auto-flowering genetics are becoming more refined).Ĭan take more abuse due to unlimited vegetation period.
Usually will take longer to produce a usable yield (average 4 months).Ĭan produce a larger plant and therefore higher yield. Will flower once put into a 12/12 light cycle. Will vegetate essentially indefinitely on anything between an 18/6 and 24/0 light cycle.Ĭan be cloned, one seed = unlimited plants.
