My goodness but time moves on. My two biggest sativas have finally turned…male. Both were from seeds from Canada, guaranteed to be females. So much for Canadian feminized seeds. I cannot get a good enough picture of my hermaphrodite plant to show you. Basically, it is a “regular plant” that grows both sexual parts. If you were to take the mature male powder from that hermy and put it onto a female calyx cluster, that female will grow some seeds, unless that hermy male powder is steril. Those seeds should be feminized. This is basically how you get a feminized seed stock. Obviously there will be some misfires in this process. Also, much of this pot industries seed stock is heavily hybrid. Many of the pot plants I am seeing this season are “confused”…don’t know if it is a boy or a girl. Many of these plants do not know whether it is a machine or a living plant. Many of the pot plants I have been looking at this season (and last season) have deformed leaves. Many of these heavily hybrid plants have only one “finger” on the leaf or sometimes it’ll have 3 “fingers” on the leaves when normally it would have 5 “fingers” with two “thumbs” on each leaf. Many uber hybrid marijuana plants seem not to know what they should be doing and cannot seem to figure out if it is a boy or a girl. I’m seeing (what I call) a pre-pubescent male stage where in that plant begins to grow male balls, but then they don’t develop (no mature powder)…June and July.

Now that we’re into August it is time to urge the girl plants to go fully into the flower stage. On August 15th, I laid down a little bone meal powder on the soil around the plants’ stem. I have a small bag of bone meal (NPK 4-12-0) and another small bag of triple super phosphate (NPK 0-45-0). I put a soup spoon full of each of these powders onto the soil around the marijuana stem. Then I water that in. By the way, on these long sunny days, I have been watering 3 times a day for a total of al least 1.5 gallons, up to 3.5 gallons on some of these girls. Some of these plants tend to need more water than others. One must be observant.

From here on out, I’ll be using a commercial bloom booster fertilizer (NPK of 10-52-10). No more blood meal or ammonia. No more trying to get more vegetative plant growth. It is time, now, to put your plants firmly into a flowering stage. We may only get until October 3rd or even September 29th until the end of our outdoor growing season. However, we may have good enough weather to grow until October 16th or 18th. Six weeks to go? Or 8 weeks to grow? It is time now to encourage the female calyx pistil growth. This preceeds the trichome + THC sugar growth. As these girls do grow their multiple ovaries, they will also begin to grow THC bearing trichomes. Hopefully, finally, all of the male plants are gone. We want to be growing sinsemilla, non-fertilized pot. We spent all of April, May and June growing roots and above ground structure. We spent late June, July and early August growing vegetative structure and sexing our plants. Now we’ve got to get them into full fledged flowering stage. All new growth should be coming out alternating from the stem. Your females ought to damn well be busily growing those bracts with a pair of pistils popping up out of each. What we call buds start out as female ovaries-pistil clusters. Watch as they get bigger and do grow along the stem towards the next “flower cluster”. We are entering the most beautiful period of pot growing time. These female bracts get loaded with sugars and the plant will grow minature leaves, mainly as a platform for more trichome growth. Two or three months from now, we’ll be smoking these flower-cluster with mini-leaf buds. This is what we have been working toward for the past 3 to 5 months. These next 6 to 8 weeks is the fun part. This is fun stuff, to me. After this period of growing flower buds, we go into the frenzy of harvest time. Get yourself a stack of brown paper bags…get your glass jars ready, too. And scissors…clean your scissors.

Now a quick couple words about the necessary maintenance of our plants. As I’ve said, on these very sunny days, all of my plants are taking between two gallons, up to 3.5 gallons of water every day. When I see yellow or damaged leaves, I clip them off. When I see a branch running wild, up thru the center of a plant, I clip off that “sucker growth”. I’m not yet ready to denude the plant of all those big outter leaves. Leaves that are crapped-out come off.

So, we are now at an important time … we’re on the home-stretch.   But we aren’t out of the woods yet, coming up is the period of Bad Weather.
