Plant Maturity and Cannabinoid Levels

Plants of the Cannabis variety have the tendency to get more potent as they get older. A plant that is 2 months old is old enough to flower properly, but won’t be as strong as a 6 month old. A 8 month old plant is probably the peak, but it depends on your conditions, actual age of the plant, and strain. The high over time can warp. That’s why Elite clones that have been in existence for decades may have such sought after highs. Clones have the age of the initial mother plant grown from a seed. Some plant types have been cloned for over 20 years without problems.
