The sex:
The sexado one of a cannabis plant is a simple task and necessary, it is necessary to consider that if the males do not remove from the culture, these can polinizar to the females, when this happens, the cogollos that give the females us will be full of seeds... a process of the nature that to us does not favor us for anything.
How to differentiate the male plant from the plant female?
Let us observe the plant of marijuana from 7º - 8º internaked, began to leave milimétricas preflowers next to the union the branches with the stem.
The male:
We will be able to appreciate small balls hanging of the stem, is an immature flower. If he is not safe is possible to be waited for a little more, but the risk is run of which these balls are opened showing the five petals and estambre loaded of polen.
The female:
Of the female they will bring forth white filaments, like pelitos, are the pistilos, that will be increasing of size and changing of color, as it advances the flowering.
The flowering:
When the days the longest nights begin to become but short and, the plant begins to develop its flowers. Then the vegetative growth is interrupted and the plant concentrates all its energy in the production of cogollos. The time of flowering oscillates between the 8 weeks in the varieties you indicate purer and the 14 weeks of the sativas.
The energy wearing down debilitates the leaves and will begin to yellow since the plant to part to need much solar light will use the nutrients of the leaves for the development of the cogollos. It is the moment for changing fertilizers and for using a rich installment in Phosphorus and Potassium. As far as the irrigation the ideal, is to use water rested without chlorine and to hope to that it drains the flowerpot. We hoped to that it finishes leaving the water by the holes the flowerpot and we return to water with a little distilled water or mineral, until returns to drain.
During the flowering we must try not to use no chemical agent, in special pesticidas and the chemical installments, first are toxic if we smoked them and the seconds would affect the flavor of the cogollos.
It is necessary to avoid that the cogollos become damp since fungi would form and they would rot, if this happens is necessary to throw them. If we see wet cogollos, we shook them so that they are dried, also is advisable, to separate them of others, with gentleness, so that but they are ventilated. Good a preventive one against all type of fungi, is to pulverize all the plant with infusions of horse tail.
In the last 15 days of the flowering, we will wash or the Earth, with the double or triple of water that the capacity of the flowerpot and we give the last installment him. As of that moment, single we will water with water.
