In preparation for the flowering stage, it's crucial to transition your plant from its current 18-hour light cycle to a 12-hour light and 12-hour darkness cycle. Adjusting your timer accordingly will trigger the flowering phase, which typically lasts 8 to 9 weeks, depending on the strain. Always refer to the information provided by the seed seller or packaging for specific flowering duration recommendations.

During this period, maintain your watering routine as outlined in our "How to Water Your Plants" guide, ensuring consistency. Unlike the vegetative stage, there's no need to transplant your plants into new pots; they will continue to thrive in their 12x12 containers.

While trimming branches was a key focus in the vegetation stage, limit interference with the plants during flowering to avoid stunting growth and impacting yields. Though minor removal of dying or discolored leaves is acceptable, major cutting or removal should be reserved for the vegetative phase. Striking a balance between maintaining a healthy canopy and minimizing disruptions is essential during flowering.
