Depends how big you want them and what strain your seeds are. Rough guide seedling for 2 weeks, 2-4 weeks veg growth, 8-10 weeks flowering, total 12-16 weeks.

repot when you can see roots coming out of the bottom hole in the pot, as they are becomming rootbound. You can also tell by the plants behavior, color etc if it needs to repotted. my plants are big and had a long veg period so I repotted to 5 gallon buckets for the rest of the grow. remember that when you put the plant into flowering it will double or triple in size from the time you set it into flowering mode... figure out what your grow space is limited to and decide your veg time that way... Good luck

That's exactly right.
I repot at the end of each life stage to keep up with the plant's soil requirements.
Simple light potting soil (composted cow manure and leaf compost with perlite), no ferts, for seedlings.
Similar mix plus fish emulsion for veg.
All of the above plus bat guano and a touch of lime (because by that time there is the risk of salt buildup/low pH) for flower.
