Usually, there are 2-3 growing cycles per year. In warm climate conditions, it takes between 20-24 days from planting to first harvest, and the harvest period takes 7-8 weeks. In hi-tech greenhouses, the harvest cycles are very long and can take up to 16 weeks. In this case, there will only be two growing cycles per year.       The harvest period can differ during different seasons. For example, a summer cycle will take approximately 10 weeks, whereas a winter cycle will take around four months.
