I'm trying to accelerate 5 girls(5'-6'ft tall), who I planted on July 16th and who flowered on Aug 8th, to go through the process of maturing faster so I can harvest earlier because if they are left as is to grow naturally I fear they will not mature in time for winter since i live in Ohio. I have them in 2 gal containers and I have a shed nearby that I am thinking about moving them into to induce more flowering and budding by controlling the light cycle. The only other technique i know is using garbage begs. Any other techniques that can be used to speed the maturing process? Save THE GIRLS!!!!
Just keep in mind that by doing this you will most likely only shave off a few days and will suffer a lower yield from the plant. But yea, if you can make the dark period longer, say 14hrs a day...that will speed 'er up.
