Marijuana Plants Red Hairs

Here is what to look for.

Marijuana plants red hairs. Red hairs show up more frequently today but actually red buds and leaves are not nearly as common. When 75 or more of the pistils are full of vibrant colours most cannabis growers will call time on cultivation. The pistils are the little white hairs on the buds that slowly turn brownred when your weed ripens.

A highly important part of cannabis anatomy correctly identifying pistils is a must-have skill for any grower. Cannabis plants like red and orange wavelengths during flowering between 580700nm to encourage the ripening of their flowers. There are also strains that will grow a reddishpurple bud such as durban poison.

If not you could end up missing out on those all-important buds. I wouldnt say so the hair on the buds have their highest potency in terms of THC if the tricomes are milky if they start to turn reddish brown the THC is stating to decompose. Dont go buying every strain with red or pink in the name however.

Once 80 of the hairs have turned brown its time to prepare for the harvest. Strains like Blue Dream tend to have bright orange hairs whereas big hitter indicas like Master Bubba have much darker hairs. A cannabis plant is hardy but its health and vigour will be negatively impacted if it is deprived of essential nutrients.

Most produce green buds with orange and amber hairs but there are a lot. For best results use a grow light with this spectrum during the bloom phase. When your weed matures the color of the pistils hair changes.

The female characteristics of cannabis plants will start to show up during the pre-floral stage but males mature faster than females. But during the flowering stage the plant gradually stops growing and uses all its energy to grow flowers. As your marijuana approaches maturity the color changes to red yellow or brown.
