I’m going to use White Widow Feminized as example. It says flowers 9 weeks. Does that mean it needs 9 weeks of flowering time in addition to grow time?
That is correct. They also typically need 4-6 weeks of veg to be mature enough to go into flower
@BobbyDigital is correct. 9 weeks of flower means you’ll need around that much time on a 12/12 light schedule for the buds to be mature. That’s after at least 2 weeks of veg time, probably more. Just depends on the plant and the grower
