How Long Does It Take to Grow Weed? by Nebula Haze |
This is one of the most common questions we receive from curious soon-to-be indoor cannabis growers: How long does it really take to grow weed? What's the growing timeline?
It's actually a really good question! Every new marijuana grower should know how much work they're signing up for! The short answer is... |
The Average Indoor Grow Takes 3-5 Months The long answer is: from Day 1 of your weed plant's life to actually smoking your harvest, it can take... 8 weeks - 7+ Months! That's a huge range, right?
That's why most cannabis growers won't give you a straight answer. The truth is, there are many factors will affect the total time until you have 'ready' buds, by days, weeks or even months. This includes your strain, your setup, and how big you plan to grow your plants (bigger plants need more time!). So instead of giving you a huge range, an easier-to-swallow answer might be to say that the average grow takes 3-5
months for indoor growers.
This includes the time needed to grow your cannabis plant from seedling to harvest plus an additional 2 weeks (minimum) which is needed to cure your cannabis buds after harvest.
Additionally, for at least the first time you grow, you also need to consider the time needed to get your equipment and seeds/clones.
This article will give you the total time breakdown, so you can plan out the details of your grow in order to achieve the harvest times you desire:
How Long Does It Take to Grow Cannabis? 3-5 Months on Average But Ultimately How Long to Harvest Marijuana Depends on the Yields You Want Jump to the Section of the Tutorial You're Interested in...
- Germinate Your Seeds (1-7 days) - Learn about fail-proof methods to germinate perfectly in soil/coco or hydro.
- Vegetative Stage (3 weeks - 8+ weeks) - In the vegetative stage, the cannabis plants are growing just stems and leaves. On average, most indoor growers vegetate their plants for 4-8 weeks. Seedlings are able to start flowering as early as 3 weeks from germination, but the resulting plants will be tiny. Most growers choose to let plants vegetate for longer because
giving them more time to grow results in bigger plants, which tend to produce bigger yields as long as you have enough light to cover all the bud sites. That being said, you can still produce quite a bit of bud with a lot of small plants growing at once as long as you fill up your grow space.
- Flowering Stage (5 weeks - 16+ weeks) - This is when plants start making buds. The length of the flowering stage depends heavily on the strain/genetics, with an average of about 8-12 weeks
for most strains. Some strains are bred to have very short flowering stages (for example, most auto-flowering strains will naturally start flowering at around 3 weeks old and some are ready to harvest just 5 weeks later, for a total of only 8 weeks from seed!). Other strains can take months in the flowering stage before they're
ready to harvest. Typically, longer-flowering strains produce higher yields than short-flowering ones because the buds are exposed to more light-hours and have more time to fatten up, but that's not always the case.

The term "leaf miner" is a common name for a type of pest actually lives inside the tissue of the leaf. These bugs mine through the leaf eating the best parts, and leave a trail of damage behind. If you see this trails on your leaf, it means you have leaf miners!

I love this particular auto-flowering strain. Many indoor growers are getting great results with it as far as overall growth and bud potency, plus plants are ready to harvest
just 2.5 months from germination. Your seedling looks great so far! ~Nebula We encourage you to forward this email to a friend in need!
