The hydroponic cycle for your clone to reach the bud state depends on a lot of factors. Plants are very different from one another and the way in which your plant grows will depend a lot on the cultivar.

To give you a basic idea of what you can expect from the hydroponic cycle, let’s start with the two basic cultivars and their advantages.

Cannabis Sativa

Cannabis Sative clones are very unique in that they grow lanky and tall with airy buds and higher intermodal spacing. When it comes to growing indoors, you’re going to need a taller space, as these plants grow very tall. Compared to Cannabis Indica, it will take Sativa longer to flower. In total, you can expect your Sativa plant to take anywhere from 8 to 16 weeks to finish flowering.

When it comes to planting Sativa, you want to wait for your clones to root before you start installing them in the vegetative room. When you eliminate the vegetative cycle, you allow the Sative to go through its slow-flowering process nicely.

Cannabis Indica

Cannabis Indica adapts to symbiotic rotation quite nicely. Most of the time, you will find that Indica strains are actually hybrids, though they are the same in many ways. Starting with the clone, your plants will grow up to around 12 inches tall. Of course, the height will depend on your cultivar and genetics, as well as the intermodal length.

Indica clones might take anywhere from 7 to 21 days to begin the rooting process. When they’ve reached the flowering point, you want them to be anywhere from 12 to 19 inches tall. These don’t take nearly as long compared to Sativa plants.

Weed Growing Timeline

Here at Big Daddy Clones we like to divide the timeline of growing weed into four steps. In general, a cannabis plant will take about 14 to 32 weeks to grow, which translates to anywhere from four to eight months.

Here is what you can expect to deal with from clone to harvest:

• Get your equipment (First day to week two)
• Vegetative Phase (two to six months)
• Flowering Phase (six weeks to three months)
• Harvesting Phase (one to three days)
