August, the middle of the Summer, sunny days from dawn ’till dusk and increasing hours of darkness as the month slowly draws to a end. For many people it’s holidays and day’s off work relaxing and socializing with friends, it’s a good job you planted those autoflowering seeds back in early Spring, the buds will be mature in the early weeks of this month, offering a mouth-watering selection of tastes, high’s and aroma’s.

During the beginning of the month your feminized and regular plants will still be in their main vegetative stage, growing and developing profusely. The shoots will stop sprouting outwards from the main-stem in symmetrical two’s, and instead, begin to stagger up the main stem, as well as along the lateral branches, ready to form cola’s.

Northern States still enjoy long hours of sunshine, with daily averages at the beginning of the month between fifteen hours, decreasing to approximately thirteen hours by the end of the month. Temperatures range between 58 – 84 degrees, day-to-night on average.

Southern States have warmer temperatures, usually between 65 – 95 degrees day-night on average, but enjoy less hours of natural daylight, with around fourteen hours at the start of the month, reducing to just under thirteen hours by the end of the month, just on the cusp of activating the flowering process.

Bugs and mites are prevalent in many areas at this time of year, so be extra vigilant and inspect the undersides of leaves, looking for any signs of nutrient deficiencies before they become a concern. It’s natural for the plant to shed leaves, especially those from the lower and underside of the canopy and isn’t cause for alarm.

However, any discoloration on the upper leaves and shoots is often a warning sign that all is not well, and should be investigated further. Refer to the chart below for many of the most common issues and deficiencies.

Unfortunately, an overdose of one particular nutrient can often lead to the plant displaying the signs of a lack of another, especially when too much Nitrogen is given to the plant. The best advice regarding feeding is that if you started with a good quality soil, many of the nutrients are already embedded, adding more won’t produce healthy, vibrant plants, only harm them.

Always follow the advice given on the nutrients you use, often reducing the quantity slightly. Or guarantee yourself the best nutrients, feeding schedules and advice available by purchasing the Flower Power complete nutrients pack, containing enough feed for twenty large, outdoor plants, from germination to harvest, better safe then sorry!
Unfortunately both the temperature in the North and daylight hours in the South are now against us in our multiple autoflowering seeds harvests, and after the first weeks, it’s too late in the year to plant anymore auto’s outdoors, and expect a healthy, worthwhile crop.

However, those we planted back in Spring, and at regular intervals since, are now beginning to mature and are ready to harvest, many from the start of the month. Remember, autoflowering seeds don’t rely on the reduction of daylight hours to ripen, maturity is built into their genetic, biological clock, and will occur naturally, regardless of the amount of hours of daylight or darkness it receives, and now they are ready!!

Harvesting is an important part of the growing process, and although it’s vital that you get it right to achieve maximum quality for yourself, or others for ‘cash-crop’ growers, many growers feel once the plant is cut, their work is done, and leave it to dry.

There is so much more to harvesting then just cutting the branches and letting them dry, and that’s what separates the average grower from the true professional. It’s not just about how closely you trim and manicure, nor how you dry. It’s the complete package, making bubble-hash, butter and lower-grade, ‘day-time’ smoke from your trim, to correct curing to achieve maximum flavor and effect.

September, and Fall officially begins towards the end of the month. The temperature is slowly decreasing with averages between 54 – 76 degrees in the North and 64 – 89 degrees in the South. Although many of the Southern States aren’t yet cold, the reducing daylight time is a clear indication that the Fall is on it’s way.

Over the course of the month, Southern States will see a reduction in daylight time from an average of thirteen hours per day, to twelve, and Northern States reduce from just over thirteen hours per day, down to below twelve.

Unlike the Autoflowering plants that have been growing, flowering and maturing over the last few weeks, providing a good, steady harvest of high quality buds, the feminized and regular seeds planted back in Spring are now beginning to flower and build up their budding sites.

Reducing the daylight hours activates a chemical change within the marijuana plant’s genetics, altering their behavior and growth pattern. At approximately 12/12 light-dark hours per day, the plants will begin to flower and indicate their sex.

For those growers that purchased feminized seeds, pre-flowering and sexing isn’t a concern, as each of the marijuana seeds you planted is guaranteed to produce female-only flowers. Regular seed growers may be raising either male or female plants though, and will have to identify which of their plants are male and which female.

Keep the males and females separate at this stage, even if you wish to create your own seeds, as the female flowers are too young and immature to be fertilized and produce a healthy batch of seeds. Growers who purchased one of the complete kits, or the Flower Power nutrient sets will move from vegetative feeds to the flowering compounds to boost bud production.

If you have not considered boosting your plants with a correct marijuana nutrient, now is an ideal time to start. As flowering begins, the plant’s needs alter, and different minerals and nutrients are required by the plant for healthy, vigorous flowering. Adding an additional boost of these vital elements can seriously increase the overall weight and quality of your buds, easily repaying the small outlay.

Damp, moist air and cooler night-time temperatures are the ideal climate for mold and bud rot. Developing deep inside the middle of the largest buds first, bud rot can devastating entire plants in a matter of a few days. Unfortunately, as the month rolls on, the bigger and more swollen the buds become, and the greater the chance of rain and moisture remaining in the buds, providing the ideal conditions for rot to begin.

Buds that have been attacked by mold and rot must never be smoked. Mold is a spore and it can travel through a joint, and even smoke, entering the lungs and cause an infection. Prevention is the only way to stop bud rot attacking your plants and for that we recommend using the  Anti-Mold formula in the Plant Protector set.

Mixed into a spray and administered to the plants during mid-late flowering, this preventative formula will protect your plants from many of the common bacterial spores that infect the buds causing mold issues. If you are growing outdoors and your plants may come into contact with cooler, moist air during the evening and night-time, protect them or lose them, and after all these months of growing, why take the risk?

Alternatively, if you are growing your marijuana in pots, you may wish to consider bringing them indoors if they aren’t too big, or build them a temporary cover or shelter to protect them from the moist air.

Some of the fast finishing strains such as Super Skunk and Strawberry Kush require less than fifty days to fully flower and mature, and will soon be ripe and ready for harvest. There is no set day for harvest, each plant matures depending on it’s conditions, and although all the seeds from each particular strain are uniform and stable,  slight variations do occur, and understanding that degrees of ripeness affect the overall high and effects from the buds, is all part of the growing process.

October and the end of the outdoor marijuana growing season for another year. Northern temperatures are between 46 – 64 degrees and the daylight time has reduced down to approximately ten hours by the end of the month. Growers in Southern States have a slightly warmer climate, between 60 – 86 degrees, but the daylight time has reduced to below eleven hours per day by the end of the month.

All of the plants should be flowering profusely by the start of the month, and mature over the first few weeks. The cooler, moist air may cause mold and bud rot issues if Plant Protectors or shelter hasn’t been provided.

If you have followed this growing guide month by month, you should be facing large trees and bushes of prime quality marijuana buds ready for harvesting. Don’t rush now, care is needed to cut and manicure those buds and branches to their maximum potential.

Marijuana Plant Protector Set

Stop Spider Mite, Mold and Root Diseases

Whether you are new to growing Marijuana, or an experienced veteran, growing indoors, or outside, all growers face the same common problems from time to time. Bugs such as Spider Mites can arrive from nowhere, the roots can begin to rot, and mold can appear overnight. These problems can devastate your crop, ruin the buds and plants, and possibly even make you ill. Once you realize your plants have a problem it can often be too late to stop at least some damage and reduction to your final yield and quality, and so we recommend preventing these problems, rather than relying on a cure.

The Marijuana Plant Protector set has been specifically developed to prevent, and where possible, cure many of the common pests and diseases that attack Marijuana and Cannabis plants. Missing the early ‘tell-tale’ signs of an infestation or disease will allow it to escalate, and without the correct action, can destroy your crop very quickly. The three formulas that make-up the Marijuana Plant Protector set are designed to work together, helping to form a protective barrier around your plants, its buds and rooting system.

Sold as a complete set of three individual compounds, containing enough formula to protect twenty large plants through their complete life cycle, with each protector applied at different times of the plants life. You can buy all three Marijuana Plant Protectors as a complete set, or receive them as part of the Complete Grow Sets.

Kill Spider Mite – Bug Blaster

The special formula contained within the Bug Blaster contains Pyrethrum and Cinnamite and unlike more commercially well-known Spider Mite solutions, will not harm your leaves, flowers or buds. Designed to kill all unwanted bugs, including Spider Mites, Thrips, Aphids and White Fly, the Bug Blaster can be easily applied using any conventional plant spray bottle.

The Bug Blaster formula will prevent all of the common Marijuana bugs from attacking your plants, and can be used both indoor and outside. Although best used as prevention, as it contains an added foliage feed to strengthen the plants immune system, Bug Blaster can also kill infestations that have occurred, even if it has not been previously applied.

Bug Blaster is quick and easy to use, with enough formula in each bottle for several applications. Simply dissolve a cap full from the Bug Blaster bottle into a l Lt plant sprayer and fill with water. Set the nozzle to a fine mist and spray the plant from top to bottom, paying particular attention to the underside of the leaves, where they lay their eggs and predominately stay.

If your plants are already suffering from a Spider Mite or other bug infestation, repeat the process after five days to kill the newly hatched bugs before they mature and begin to lay eggs themselves. For healthy, uninfected plants, repeat the process every ten days – two weeks to protect your plants and prevent these problems from occurring. Plants should be sprayed at the end of the light cycle for maximum effect.

Stop Bud Rot – Mold Control

Mold control is a specially formulated solution designed to combat Marijuana leaf and bud diseases including; Botrytis, Powdery Mildew, Leaf Septori and rust. Mold or bud rot can devastate an entire crop in a matter of days, often appearing just before complete maturity when the buds are at their largest.

Extremely hard to spot until it has fully taken hold, diseases such as Botrytis, or bud rot, are best prevented as they are impossible to cure, and difficult to stop once set in, with the only option to cut away all the infected buds and areas, and harvest the buds as soon as possible. Never smoke moldy buds, they contain mold spores which can make you ill, make you short of breath, and often leave you with a chest infection.

To prevent these problems with your plants, spray them with Mold Control approximately half-way through their flowering period. The formula contains neem oil, and potassium bicarbonate, as well as other active ingredients, designed to prevent most forms of mold and fungus from developing.

One cap of Mold Control should be dissolved into a 1 liter plant spray bottle and applied to the plants as a fine mist, at the start of their ‘dark’ period. One bottle contains enough for several applications, or up to fifty indoor plants.

Prevent Disease – Root Protector

Many new growers fail to spot when harmful bacteria has ‘built-up’ and begins attacking the roots. For many the first signs are a slowing down in the growth, poor, limp leaves and a general discoloring, and in extreme cases the plant will wilt, wither and die.

There are several common root diseases including; Pythium, Fusarium, Botrytis, Alternaria and Phomopsis, all attack the plant from the roots upwards, and left untreated, will severely reduce your yield and quality. The Root Protector’s specially formulated solution contains elements to combat these diseases, including, Streptomyces Griseoviridis, a friendly form of bacteria that remains close to the plants roots, feeding off the unwanted, harmful bacteria forming a protective barrier.

Easy to apply, a cap of Root Protector should be dissolved into a liter of water, and the solution applied evenly around the base of the plants. Clean, fresh water should then be applied to thoroughly flush the solution around the roots. Best results are obtained when the Root Protector is added at the start of the light period. The Root Protector solution can also be added to hydroponic tanks to assist in root rot prevention.
