just so you dont sit around wondering what is taking so long ... in my own personal experience growing under lights, in soil, ... seed to flowering stage, about 3 months to reach a healthy 3-feet tall, then flower for another 8 weeks, 2 more weeks when growing a sativa (your NL is primarily an indica, you will probably be done after the 8 weeks) ... hydros and super-lights can shorten this time period, of course ... :smokin:
