Question on Flowering times

[valstar]

When people say it takes x amount of time to flower say like 8 weeks. Does that 8 weeks include the time from when you first changed the light to 12/12 to start flowering or does it mean it was 8 weeks from the first sign of hairs.


Thanks

it all depends on how ur growing. soil, lights, nutes, indica, sativa, type of weed. theres no telling how long untill its done. im useing sunlight and i have been budding for a month now and i still have 2 more months to go.

Thanks for the info. I am trying to plan a perpetual garden and looking to get it down where i harvest a plant once a month.

By law we can only have 3 flowering plants at a time in Colorado. So i dont have much room to play with 3 plants.

I suck at math but i am thinking a clone a month would do it. One month veg time on each clone. Does that sound doable to keep it close to one harvest a month?

Sorry i should have clarified the question more. I wasnt asking total time of budding just if the time it takes to show hairs was included in the time people say it took to bud.. I know each strain is different and like you said lights ect ect affect it.


Thanks :thumbsup:
