a few questions

Hey guys I am new to this forum and I am new to growing marijuana I just have a few questions.

When will the white hairs start to show on a female marijuana plant?
Males pollinate females which just puts seeds in the bud right?
Do I need a male and a female for bud?
You should harvest at week 8 right?
Can I get hi in any way from a male marijuana plant


I have 2 plants ones on week 2 and ones on week 7. The one on week 7 has no white hairs so I am assuming it is male. I have been searching a lot on the internet about using a male marijuana plant for butter or how to use it in anyway to get hi and I am getting a lot of mixed answers.

Thanks for any help

welcome to RIU

1. hairs show when you switch lights to 12/12
2. yes
3. no, females produce the buds
4. depends on your trichomes when to harvest
5. doubt it but never tried so...

I grow outdoors so I can not change the lighting to 12/12 its about a 14/10 in NewEngland. Will white hairs not grow under that condition? will bud grow under that condition of light?

buds will grow for sure, you just have to wait for mother nature to induce flowering.

Generally the flowering outside won't change over until august/september. Problem is once they start to flower they need about 4 to 6 more weeks till fully mature and ready to harvest. Another factor is the temperature outside. September/october can have some really cold nights which might include a frost which is bad. That's about all I can help with. Happy growing.

I thought it would only take 8 weeks? so will the plant flowere first then turn into bud? and so bassically its going to take 12 or 14 weeks for me?

once the sun has reached the appropriate amount of light/dark your plants will begin to flower or 'bud'. once this begins it should take 8 to 10 to 12 weeks until buds and trichomes are mature.

8 weeks is the general FLOWERING time. not the entire process... usually for outdoors october/november (well at least here in cali) is harvest time
