They need it to be able of going through <strong>photosynthesis.<\/strong> Photoperiod marijuana, as its own name says, depends on receiving the necessary hour of light to develop properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lighting cycles where the plant receives <strong>more light than darkness (20h\/4h)<\/strong> are perfect to provide more growth. As soon as the strain enters the <strong>flowering period<\/strong>, it should get an average of <strong>15 hours or less<\/strong> of light (12h\/12h indoors).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-07-24T155741.902-1.jpg\" alt=\"Photoperiod cannabis seeds\" class=\"wp-image-171448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-07-24T155741.902-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-07-24T155741.902-1-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-07-24T155741.902-1-768x346.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The difference with other strains is that its development depends on the amount of lighting it receives.

However, photoperiod cannabis seeds also develop great outdoors as long as they receive enough natural daylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Life_cycle_of_photoperiod_cannabis_seeds\"><\/span><strong>Life cycle of photoperiod cannabis seeds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Feminized photoperiod cannabis seeds<\/strong> are very handy for indoor grows because with a proper lighting system, the grower can leave the plant on the growth phase for as long as he\/she considers opportune.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the plant is exposed to more than 18h of light a day, it will keep on growing until it reaches the roof of the grow ten. To make the plant swap to flowering mode, the grower has to simply reduce the amount of hours to 12h\/12h. By<strong> increasing dark hours,<\/strong> the plant undergoes certain <strong>hormonal changes<\/strong> that make it flower the precious calyxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-07-24T160547.020.jpg\" alt=\"Photoperiod cannabis seeds\" class=\"wp-image-171453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-07-24T160547.020.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-07-24T160547.020-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-07-24T160547.020-768x346.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, a grower decides to<strong> keep one of the plants in the growth phase<\/strong> for longer by using a low consumption lighting system. These plants are known as <strong>mother plants<\/strong> and are used to make genetically identical<strong> clones<\/strong>. By leaving the plant under a long lighting cycle for a long time, it will stay in a constant growth period and<strong> produce branches<\/strong> non-stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_grow_a_photoperiod_strain\"><\/span><strong>How to grow a photoperiod strain<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are certain tips to grow a feminized seed that should be taken into account for the sake of the crop. First of all, you<strong> should choose a good quality strain <\/strong>that gets the best out of your grow. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/gb-strains\/5372-gb-therapy-cbd.html\">GB Therapy CBD<\/a> by <strong>GB Strains<\/strong> is a good photoperiod option. This <strong>50% sativa\/ 50% indica<\/strong> hybrid offers great results, it produces a large <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/cbd-or-cannabidiol\/\">CBD-rich<\/a> yield, it\u2019s relatively easy to grow and it doesn\u2019t take too long.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photoperiod seeds take <strong>longer to grow<\/strong> than autoflowering seeds due to the fact that they are light dependent, therefore<strong>, changes take longer.<\/strong> However, they do provide larger yields and plants are larger. The main risk they have is breaking their rest cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dark hours are as important as light hours. During the day, plants absorb <strong>carbon dioxide<\/strong> from the air and turn it into oxygen (photosynthesis). At night time, the process is inverted for the plant to get a good rest. <strong>Darkness is especially important during the flowering period.<\/strong> When growing the plant indoors, this is obviously not a problem, but when growing photoperiod strains outdoors, it is crucial to respect dark periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n.precios_products {\n    display: flex;\n    align-items: baseline;\n}\nspan.product_price.price_old {\n    font-size: 12px !important;\n    text-decoration: line-through;\n}\nspan.product_price.price_descuento {\n    font-size: 11px !important;\n    background: #000;\n    color: #fff;\n    padding: 0 4px;\n}\n\nspan.product_price{\n    font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;\n    letter-spacing: normal !important;\n    width: fit-content !important;\n    padding: 0px 5px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"row ppgbo_row ppgbo_product_1\">\n    \n    <div class=\"product col-12\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"product_image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/38267-medium_default\/1.jpg\"  alt=\"Gorilla Glue 4\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><h4 style=\"cursor:pointer\" class=\"ppgbo_qcd product_name clickproducttitleblog\" data-tab=\"_blank\" data-qcd=\"aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ3Jvd2JhcmF0by5uZXQvZW4vNDE2My04NDI4OS0uaHRtbA==\" >Gorilla Glue 4<\/h4><div class='estrellas' style='display: flex;align-items: center;'><div class=\"star\"><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"star\"><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"star\"><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"star\"><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"star\"><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/div><span style='font-size:14px; margin-left:5px;'>(638)<\/span><\/div><span class=\"product_price\">3,50 \u20ac<\/span>    <\/div>\n    \n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_photoperiod_cannabis_seeds\"><\/span><strong>Advantages of photoperiod cannabis seeds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Greater indoor control as it\u2019s easy to monitor light exposure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Their growth is not biologically limited.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Greater tolerance to prunes as they have more time to recover.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They can become mother plants to produce clones from the one plant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s possible to revert the plant to a vegetative phase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Larger yields than autoflowering strains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-07-24T161224.153.jpg\" alt=\"Advantages of photoperiod cannabis seeds\" class=\"wp-image-171466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-07-24T161224.153.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-07-24T161224.153-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-07-24T161224.153-768x346.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photoperiod cannabis seeds<\/strong> were the <strong>only available ones<\/strong> up until a few years ago, there was no other alternative.
