Theroachguy can answer this better, but I think adult dubia last 12-18 months. What I do is keep about 1 adult male for every 4 females and feed off mostly the male nymphs. I do keep back male nymphs to become the next generation of studd.
I started my colony with something like 100 adult females and 30 males with another 50 mixed nymphs thrown in and it took me about 5 months before I could begin feeding off them. The more adults you start with, the quicker you will begin to exponentially multiply.
