The full cannabis growing cycle usually takes 3 to 5 months, depending on the strain and growing conditions. It begins with germination (3–10 days), followed by the seedling and vegetative stages (4–8 weeks) when the plant grows leaves and stems.
Next comes the flowering stage, lasting 6–10 weeks, where buds begin to form. Autoflower strains grow faster, finishing in as little as 8–10 weeks, while photoperiod strains take longer but often yield more.
Temperature, light, nutrients, and humidity all influence the timeline. With patience and proper care, you’ll harvest healthy, resinous buds in just a few months.
