First of all you would be much better off breeding a morph male to the female spider. Pick up a Pastel male for around 100 to 150.

Secondly the female needs to be in at least her 2nd winter IF she is over 1200 grams, most prefer to wait til the 3rd winter and 1500 grams.

From the time of a lock can be many months. Most wait for the signs and then count from Ovulation or the Post Ovulation Shed which is then almost 30 days till eggs. After eggs are laid they are incubated, depending on temps, for 55 - 60 days.
