flowering period

how long is the flowering period usually
if you could break it down in to three periods

It varies, ive had strains that were ready in 50 days, other tropical sativa strains can take 12 weeks. if you dont know what you are growing than you have to just go by the eye test.

It all depends on the strain and the growing conditions so it does vary.

8-12 weeks on average.. some more... some less... strain dependant... lighting also plays into it... if your lighting isnt sufficient it can extend the flowering period... different pruning techniques can slow flowering.. but if you want a guide line 8-12 weeks... indicas ripen faster than sativas...
