i casted a vote for 45 days but i honestly have no idea. I dont flower according to a schedule, i flower according to plant size, and that can vary greatly from strain to strain and even pheno to pheno. I typically will top the plants multiple times and also implement LST so im always purposely extending my veg time to give me a better final yield. If im doing a SCROG the answer is whenever the screen is almost full lol.

Same thing for counting days/weeks until harvest, i stopped doing that a while ago too. Theyre ready when theyre ready. Ive never met an "8 week" strain that couldnt benefit from going 9. Its just marketing.

Technically they are in veg for about 3 months but I run a flower room and veg tent. So my plants are already vegging for 2 months while I finish out my previous run. Then they are in the flower room for a month before the flip to 12/12. I top once, so really I veg for a month and then I’m in flower perpetually.

I grow three nodes, then top 3 times for a total of 8 colas - then let the colas grow to 5 or 6 nodes. Then flip, takes some time, 7 or 8 weeks.

given your name, you'll likely remember the strip where calvin's mom is filling the bathtub with calvin alternately complaining now it's too cold, now it's too hot? and finally, now it's too full? yeah, that was me and my first plant. I kept attemting to fim and fix and everything, and pretty soon i was growing a redwood. thx for you answer.

Not strictly 30 days but mostly 4 to 5 weeks, mostly topped and LST trained. Some rougher trained. Perpetual under mostly LED white or red/white Boards, run some 250 watt 4000k CMH for warmth when needed and UVA /IR also.

Totally strain dependent. I'll flip a sativa as soon as possible, within 3 weeks usually, indicas, I'll veg until the roots are nice and spread out, then I'll flip. Usually a month.
