How long it will take for her to become gravid, you mean? Being gravid is when the egg is forming inside the budgie mommy. Make sure she is at least one year old before encouraging breeding behavior.
Buy a nestbox at the store (one sized for budgies and similarly-sized birds, of course) and put that in their cage. Add breeding supplements to their diet now so that the eggs will be healthy and the mother won't be as likely to suffer any ill effects. Read EVERYTHING you can find on how to take care of any issues that may arise during the laying, while the eggs are being sat on, and after the chicks hatch, because a moment of not knowing what to do could be the moment in which you lose mother, chicks, or both. Particularly be aware of the symptoms of egg binding. Do not encourage breeding unless you have enough money stored up to take her to the vet if something goes wrong and enough to buy materials to take over care of the chicks if mommy and daddy bird don't. Also read how to hand-raise them, if that's what you are going to do.
They are most likely going to breed in the spring. Leaving the light in their room on for longer hours will help them think it's breeding season. After they mate a few times, she'll lay her eggs within a few days. In about three weeks, the eggs will hatch. Congratulations, you'll be a budgie grandparent!
