Methods to speed up flowering time?

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by GrowQs, Feb 26, 2020.

  1. I've been flipped to 11.5 light and 12.5 dark for a few days now.. Is their anything I can do to get these things flowered, chopped, and gone faster ASAP (due to logistics)?

    Like..
    Leave the light completely off for a cycle to kickstart them faster?
    Then run them at 13/11 for more light to flower out faster? Or 11/13 to flower out faster?
    Day/night temperatures stable/swings matter? RH matter for speed to finish?

    They were already preflowering like crazy before flip so that should help too I think..

    Any known working methods for this even if it would slightly reduce yield?
     
  2. the secret of the pro is 12/12 and be patient.

  3. Your using auto flowering seeds/strains ?
    As in a time ,, I don't think so ,, only thing you can do is give them the right amounts of nutrients and keep them healthy ..

    Not a auto grower , but I do 12/12 lighting in flowering .
     
  4. No..
    And actually to make matters worse, I'm using various somewhat unknown flowering time strains..

    If anything goes much later than the rest I'll probably just chop it early and toss out that pheno anyway..
    This is also a bit of flowering time discovery for what genetics I have..
     
  5. I don't grow different strains at the same time in the same grow room .
    I tried but was a nightmare because they grow differently from Indica to Sativa..
    In my tents they are all the same strain .
    Sorry I cant answer your question ..

  8. I have been doing a test or pilot trials on 24/7 led lights in veg ,,,on sativa regular seed plants that were cloned .
    For me I am going back to 18/6 for veg ,, I am a RDWC grower like my plant trained and two ft tall before flipping into flowering .
    Then 12/12 on my lights for flowering .
    Not disagreeing with you just saying I do it different .

  9. That's pretty interesting but basically a way to keep them from flowering..

    They basically were 24/0 before flip so that might help..
     
  10. Have you tried falling into a come for two months. Should be instantaneous if you do it right.
     
  11. It's not about wanting to smoke or wanting the bud.. It's about wanting my room back so I can move on to my next project..
