She has been flowering for more than two weeks now, and the pistils are showing signs of maturity. They are turning tangerine orange at the tips; soon the majority will start to color down to the calyx. The days are starting to become longer with nights beginning at 9:00 pm. Although the days are getting longer the plant has long enough period of uninterrupted darkness to continue strong flower and trichome development.

Flowering-5/18

The white pistils are now rapidly protruding from every node on the plant. The calyxes are relatively small but that will change by next week. I gave her a super bloom fertilizer which means a solution containing a decrease in nitrogen and an increase in potassium and phosphate (phosphorus). You will see results in roughly one week or so. There are multiple ways too determine maturity. One way is to watch the pistils; when healthy, and in the early stages of flowering, pistils will almost always be white. As the flowering stage progresses, the pistils will start to dry out and turn color (the color of pistils ranges from a deep orange to a vibrant red). Watch for this drying out process and the pistil coloration.

I’ve been out of town for the past week but a friend has kindly been watering her every other day, and she remains to be healthy and strong like the day I left. The plant has now reached the 17th node and is starting to flower; pistils are starting to protrude from the “armpits” of the plant. This is naturally occuring due to the photoperiod. Usually cannabis plants flower in northern california around July or august, however the OG PURPLE KUSH seems to be flowering unusually early. When magnetized you can see the trichomes starting to build up; eventually they will sprout up and form a have cylinder shape at the top similar to that of a mushroom. These trichomes will be the tool to read the maturity of the plant; the not only determines the maturity, but also the effect of the strain.
