Guide to the Vegetative Growth Stage of Cannabis Plants

Cannabis vegetative phase (sometimes also called growth phase) occurs after seed germination and before flower bud emergence. After germination, the cannabis seedling creates the first pair of rounded leaves ("cotyledon leaves"). In the following weeks after this moment, plants will mature and create traditionally shaped leaves ("fan leaves"), this phase is called the cannabis vegetative stage. Leaves are tasked with collecting light energy and enabling photosynthesis, which allows the plant to grow and develop.
