Don't mean to be rude, though there are a couple of recent threads out there explaining it.

Though to sum it up, depends on your strain if it's an auto flower ect ect.

The 'average' time (not always) is around 60-90+ days.

It's around 80 days usually for the whole process, from seed germination to full fruitation. I'd say somthing like 40 days for flowering.

its going to vary but most of them finish around 8 weeks give or take, doesnt matter the veg time, once its 12/12 its flower then up to the plant from there, you CANNOT finish early, lighting will detemine yields along with others but bigger lights bigger yields, amber trichomes with a jewlers glass is near harvest time.

Thanks! Yeah, having a problem getting lighting to lower flowers. I'm using CFLS. The tops get lots of light, but anything in the middle is not getting nearly as much....though they seem to be flowering alright

Thanks for that...yeah I'm adding some lighting as we speak.... Ordered another sunblaster... I'll have 2 sunblasters, and my main light which is pretty big. Hope it helps a bit, the new sunblaster! This is my first grow, hopefully my second grow turns out better!

12/12 for an autoflower?!?! and start flowering when you turn the light to 12/12?!?!?.......as the name might suggest (to some of us anyway) and if you read the title the question is about: autoflower seeds and they will start flowering AUTOMATICALLY your light will be on anything from 18/6 to 24/0 depending on your strain and you personal preferences.
Regarding length of time, I done some Critical Auto Christmas 2011 and harvested at day 69 but some will have a longer growing time.....seeds bank should give you some info about the seed but always go with what the plant tell you.
