Cultivating Cannabis: A Journey Through the Growing Process

For cannabis enthusiasts and medical patients alike, understanding the intricacies of marijuana cultivation can be fascinating. At Cady Brook Cannabis, we believe in educating our customers about every aspect of the plant, from its growth to its consumption. Let’s explore the journey of cannabis from seed to harvest.

1. Germination: The Beginning of Life

The process starts with a tiny seed. Germination typically takes 24-72 hours and requires:

• Moisture
• Warmth
• Darkness

2. Seedling Stage: The Vulnerable Phase

Once the seed sprouts, it enters the seedling stage. This phase lasts 2-3 weeks and requires:

• Gentle light
• High humidity
• Careful watering

3. Vegetative Stage: Growing Strong

This is where the plant really takes off, growing rapidly for 3-16 weeks. Key factors include:

• Increased light exposure
• Regular nutrients
• Proper pruning techniques

4. Flowering Stage: The Final Stretch

The most exciting phase for growers, flowering lasts 6-12 weeks. During this time:

• Light cycles change
• Buds develop and mature
• Trichomes indicate harvest readiness

5. Harvesting: Reaping the Rewards

The culmination of months of care, harvesting involves:

• Careful timing
• Proper cutting techniques
• Immediate drying and curing
