Cannabis life cycle: germination 1–7 days, seedling 1–3 weeks, vegetative up to 16 weeks, flowering 6–12 weeks — all phases from seed to harvest explained.
Stages: 1st germination (1-7 days), 2nd seedling (1-3 weeks), 3rd vegetative (3-16 weeks), 4th pre-flowering (1-2 weeks), 5th flowering (6-12 weeks), 6th harvest/drying (2-4 weeks). Autoflower: compressed cycle 8-12 weeks. Photoperiodic: flexible vegetative phase. Environmental factors strongly influence timing.
Cannabis seeds typically take 1 to 7 days to germinate, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
During the vegetative phase, which can last up to 16 weeks, the plant develops its leaves and roots, which promotes the plant's growth and strength.
The flowering phase for cannabis typically lasts between 6 and 12 weeks, depending on the strain and growing conditions.
