7) The last flowering phase...

After all this excitement it will seem like they have another deep

sleep. This is not very surprising after such an enervating period of hormonal rage. The buds will develop slowly but steady. First the flowers will cover the branches and look rather fluffy. This will continue for 2-3 weeks till the shape of the future bud is set. Then the bud will start to fill-up. The loose flowers will shape into a firm-bud, the resin glands swell up and shine like little snowflakes on the leaves and flowers. To give the buds some extra energy, you may cut off a couple of the largest leaves, so the light can get to it a bit more. Don't touch the smaller leaves, or your plant will start to sweat through the flowers instead of through the leaves. As result you'll

have bud-rot and you can throw your crop in the bin. You'll also notice that quite a few of the leaves will turn yellow in the last 2-3 weeks of her flower period. This is to make you aware of the fact she's preparing for harvest. When 95% of the white hairs on the buds have turned orange-brown and the resin glands are completely swollen-up, you will dry her out for a week... as it's now; harvest time !!!
