Lovin in Her Eyes says that seeds need to go at 45-60 days to reach sexual maturity / stability.

I agree. Not sure on how long but I agree they need some time to mature beforew flowering. It’s not just about size of plant…

To add to @durbsgreen336 answer, it is auto flowering genetics that you would need to pay attention to the germination to harvest date. Autos are on a “timer” from when you germinate. They flip to flower on their own. This could be when they are genetically ready or if the cultivator inadvertently stresses the plants and they flower early due to stress. Also be cautious of what the package says for finishing times and when they actually finish. I just had an Amnesia Haze auto take 2 weeks longer than advertised. Send me a message if you want to chat more, I dont want to monopolize your post.

Assuming this is a photoperiod plant, the stated flowering time generally notes the average period from “flipping the lights to 12/12” to harvest.
“How long to veg” isn’t set in stone, because vegging is where you grow the plant to the size/shape you want to start flowering. So it’s entirely up to the grower. If you want bigger plants, grow them out for a month or two and THEN flower them.
Remembering that size happens over time, if you’re aiming for 6-8 weeks from GERM to harvest, that’s a pretty tight schedule. Most plants are only around 4″ tall at 3 weeks–you CAN flip it into flower that tiny, but you’ll be getting a really tiny harvest too.
