Hey, First Signs Of Budding. How Long Till Buds Are Ready For Harvest?

So my plant has started budding, well almost. The little white hairs have started showing. It's been almost 2 weeks since changing to 12/12 (12 days) I can't get a picture of it atm but i'll attach a picture of the plant 12 days ago. It's been vegging for 10 weeks so it's 12 weeks old. It's under a 400 watt hps and has been since a seedling. How long do indicas like this tend to take until it's ready for harvest? How do you think it'll take from changing to 12/12 to cutting the plant down? Thanks for any feedback.

Well in that case id start counting Flowering days now.
Flowering times are from First signs of flowering (in most cases) not from when you changed your lighting schedule.
Usually there is whats called a Transition period between vegging and flowering, this can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

But i digress,

Short answer, I havn't a clue, and no one else does ether.
Without knowing what specific strain it is, what lighting its under and whether its experienced any stress.
I can however say my indicas take between 55 (shortest ever) and 88 days (longest ever).

If you know the Advertised flowering time (assuming its not bagseed) then you can normally expect to add 10 to 20 days to that with average home grower standards, bearing in mind what i said about transition periods.


Plant is looking good man, your getting to the good bit.

nice plant

Ah okay thanks for informing me on that. I noticed it yesterday so it's basically 1 day into flowering then. It's bulldog Haze and i searched it up and it said it can take from 56-90 days, so basically what you said. I'll just have to wait and see. And thanks, she's a beauty
