FULL FLOWER OGPK 9/2009

Thursday, September 24th, 2009 | Author: admin

She has been in full flower a little over one month now; usually the flowering period lasts anywhere from 55 days to 1 1/2-2 months, sometimes more, sometimes less. The last grow was no where close to the girth and overall weight this grow is accumulating. There is an obvious reason for that, the last grow was sown a bit to early for an outdoor grow. The photoperiod in the bay area early may threw late july was not suitable for a cannabis plant to reach max potential, therefore stunting the plants growth. Remember this fact, SUMMER IS FOR SEXING, and you will have a rough estimate of the time period for your grow.

When the leaves begin to yellow it means there is a nitrogen deficiency; this is perfect. You see nitrogen produces chlorophyll, and chlorophyll creates that green, grassy type taste. Properly flushed cannabis, when smoked, is supposed to burn with consistency; and not supposed to crackle and/or hiss when sparked. If the bud your smoking crackles and has a ‘spark’ affect when lit, it means one of two things. One, the bud is laced with something for whatever reason. Two, the cannabis wasn’t grown, flushed and dried properly and has an abundance of chlorophyll. In the third and fourth and sometimes fifth week of flowering, flush the soil with clean water so steady stream of water drains through the bottom. This washes out all the toxic salt build up and any other harmful stuff that builds up in the soil. The last two weeks water only 2-3 times a week to start the drying process pre-maturely. This OGPK grow has maybe two more weeks left and it will  be ready to harvest.

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.

The weather has been cold for the past few days which has caused the main stem to turn purple. The Cannabis plant is one of the most fastest growing plant known to man, its incredibly durable and can be grown  in almost any location where there is soil, water and sun. There isn’t much you can do to avoid the purpling of the plant when it is growing out doors. The only aid to this would be to cover it with a bed sheet or a grow tent. If your plant turns more than 20% purple, you will have to warm it up by covering it. If this was the situation you would have to cover the plant to secure the warmth; cut 4 holes around a deer park water jug and cover the plant with that. If there are multiple plants, it is easy to setup a tepee type tent over the grow.
