There are nine cabbage growth stages: seed germination, sprouting, 6-8 true leaves appearing, 9-12 true leaves appearing, precupping, cupping, early head formation, head fill, and maturation.

This depends on the varieties of cabbage you grow. However, under normal conditions, cabbage can take 80-180 days from seed planting to harvest. The basic stages of cabbage growth are generally four and they include germination stage, seedling stage, vegetative stage, and flowering stage.
