Jim Planted some grass right at the centre of his garden.. Each n every day the size occupied by the grass doubles..( such that if its two metres on first day then its 4 metres on second day).. So it took 50 days for the grass to fully occupy the garden... at which day half of the garden was filled with grass..

The day before the 50th day. If it doubles everyday, half must be complete it 49 days and on the 50th day, the whole garden will be full with plants. GO JIM!!

There is a little confusion regarding area and distance in this question. Usually size of grass refers to area, but then you explain that it goes from 2 meters to 4 meters in one day, which refers to length, perhaps radius? But if the radius doubled, then the area would quadruple.
If I pretend that the area is doubling every day, then on the 49th day, the garden was half filled with grass.
If the radius is doubling every day, then on 49 day 12th hour, the garden would be half filled with grass.
