In outdoor growing in Bavaria and Franconia, cannabis plants typically begin to flower in late summer when the days get shorter and the nights get longer. The flowering phase is triggered by the natural daylight cycle (photoperiodism) when the night length reaches about 12 hours.
In Bavaria and Franconia, this usually happens from mid to late August.
Mid to late August: The days start to shorten and the nights get longer. This is the period when photoperiod cannabis strains usually transition into the flowering phase.
September to October: The plants are in full bloom. It's important to pay special attention to pests and diseases during this time, as they can significantly harm the plants.
Harvest time: Depending on the strain and weather conditions, the harvest time typically falls between late September and early October. It's important to keep an eye on the weather, as rain and humidity can lead to mold formation.
