Flowering Marijuana Plants for Buds indoors or Outdoors, cannabis plants flower in the fall when days become shorter and when the marijuana plant signals itself that annual life is at its end. Indoors, you determine when marijuana flowering takes place simply by changing the growing nutrients, grow light bulbs, and the hours of light the marijuana plants receive each day. During flowering, leafy growth slows and marijuana flowers begin to form. Flowers without seeds are known as marijuana buds and better known as sinsemilla. If a male cannabis plant is in the grow room and its pollen is exposed, it will find its way to your female plants and pollinate it creating cannabis buds filled with seeds. Knowing when to flower your cannabis or marijuana plants is very important, otherwise you will end up with low quality buds.

Male Cannabis Plants flower approx. 1-2 weeks before females. When male plants flower they release pollen, which will find its way to a female, creating buds filled with seeds.

If you are choosing to cross-breed, you will want to have female plants in the room you are using for flowering marijuana.
