Yeah unless you flower early, like only a month to veg total. To get a decent amount of quality herb you are lookin at upwards of 5-6months. One week to sprout(if your lucky lol) roughly two months to veg and around two months(more depending on the variety) to flower. Add two weeks to dry and a min of two weeks to cure and your lookin at around half a year. Some people dont cure they just dry it out, but ask any of the experienced growers and they will tell you the longer you cure the better flavor and more potent it becomes. Just my 2cents -Diz:rasta:
