Growth in the vegetative phase of cannabis plants
Cannabis plants enter the phase of vegetative growth after four to four weeks. end of seedling growth. naturally, this vegetative phase is a time when cannabis plants grow very fast during their life cycle.
cannabis plants will produce a lot of new leaf growth and require nutrients to meet their photosynthetic needs.
Outdoor Vegetative Cannabis Phase
Cannabis plants will experience the vegetative phase if, given the light cycle phase for 18-24 hours of light, this is often adapted to indoor marijuana cultivation to regulate the light cycle during the growth phase of cannabis plants that are used as parent plants and increase the amount of cannabis production. with a vegetative growth that affects the cannabis plant.
Vegetative Phase of Indoor Cannabis Plants
the indoor cultivators will be very easy to determine or force when the cannabis plant enters a period of flower production or flowering period but still considers when the right time to start the flowering cycle, the indoor cultivators only have to give 12/12 cycles which is the period 12 hours of lighting and 12 hours of darkness, cannabis plants will be triggered to enter the flowering phase.
In the outdoor cultivation of cannabis plants depending on the season, and the climate in which the plants grow, cannabis growth in the tropical climate will certainly be different in the sub-tropical climate as well as in the temperate climate and cold climate.
Indonesia experiences a tropical climate and experiences two seasons, the most growing marijuana plants are Sativa which have a long life cycle compared to other types of cannabis plants. the use of season-based cropping patterns adapted in Indonesia has been very long by farmers in the northern Sumatra region, the area has a climate of 2 seasons and vegetation very fertile land.
Calculation of cropping patterns and vegetative vase growth and flowering are determined based on the season.
type Sativa is a plant that can grow very high, especially if you live in an outdoor environment, sativa can grow very high and can reach more than 2 meters or as much as possible.
very different from indicia which has a shorter life cycle if planted outdoors.
in this vegetative phase, there are many factors that need to be considered by farmers both indoors and outdoors.
lighting
for indoor aquaculture, the lighting cycle between 18-24 hours of light is accelerated in a 24-hour cycle. in indoor cultivation uses a supply of compact fluorescent light [CFL], high-pressure sodium [HPS] or metal halide. the amount of power or wattage of the lamp is determined by conditions room and number of plants.
Note that color temperature
[http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suhu_warna] emitted by lights, the color temperature usually uses Kelvin (K), during this vegetative period cannabis plants are given a color temperature of 5600k or the equivalent of Daylight and replaced using 2700k Warm White when entering the flowering period, and can also combine two color temperatures in the growth of this vegetative phase.
Chart for the Color Temperature of Cannabis Plants
for outdoor cultivation, farmers usually use season references as planting and lighting cycles, overseas cultivators mark them with world marijuana days in April or the 20th (4/20), while in Indonesia, which experiences two seasons, outdoor cultivation it is recommended when the beginning of the rainy season between October and November.
