These beautiful girls were not given a super bloom formula. The result is a short plant with substantially small leaves and calyxes.

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.

Flowering-5/15

Usually the flowering stage would be late july to early august- maybe even september, however, the OG Purple Kush is flowering in early may. This is because the photoperiod this season in northern California has a dark period in may that lasts 9-11 hours.

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 plant is at its 9th node and is healthy for the most part. The top leaves are getting attacked by pests so I purchased a bug repellent that kills pests on contact. When using this type of repellent, caution needs to be exercised; this type of repellent is likely to be stronger than other forms of repellent

Cannabis Sexing

Unfortunately five of the eight outdoor OG Purple Kush and the unknown green strain have presented male pre-flowers. Unless you are breeding, you will have to weed out the males and keep the females. Even hermaphrodites can fertilize an entire garden; little pollen is needed to pollinate female flowers. This could’ve been avoided if the plants were given increased amounts of nitrogen; when given increased levels of nitrogen- the chances of a female increase.
The remaining three have female pre-flowers at the seventh and eighth nodes. These are pre-flower pistils, very few are presented and the ones that are dry out quickly. This is not bad, the plant is just showing its sex.
