It took about a week. I was surprised because I was expecting to wait a month. I ordered og kush. It is now in its 7th week of flowering. I have grown bagseed previously, it was regular. This plant is in fact higher grade as it smells very good when you touch a bud and then smell fingers. Seeds4Free is legit in my opinion. I planted two seeds 1 was male and I tossed it the other was female and now I have clone generations! ;-p
