hi. you can use 2000-3000ppm CO2 to speed up your flowering, or you can use special hormones..
next week I will get hormones from the custom.. so if you'd like I can send you for FREE hormone solution , if you'll promise show the result photos.

true^^but like i said,not everbody CAN do that,i dont own my house,and yeah i live in the city,so things are unpredictable,waiting for proper flower times is more easier said than done,especially with a 3 month sativa,i just cant risk that much time,so id like to maybe cut off 1-2+ weeks OFF flowering,and no im not setting up anything perpetual,just trying to boost yields by throwing in a few extra clones,theyll grow one huge mainbud,so i might as well right?

Just run the cycle normal and if you have to tear the plants up early, well that's just what it is. Taking it premature is going to make it premature no matter what you try. Some things like running hydro and a couple other little things like the 36 hour dark before flower, and shorter light cycles might finish it a little quicker, but we are talking like a week, maybe.

If you aren't med and are worried about inspections because you rent and can't hide the plants somewhere in that case, then really you are just at the mercy of whatever happens. It's part of the game. At least you know what to work towards, being worry free of inspections and finding quicker finishing varieties.

thank you guys soo much,havnt been online in a while,but yeah.i cant buy any new strains,or c02 generator,pretty much the only thing i can do is play with photoperiod times,and na i havnt even started,im looking for decent yields IF they flower all the way,so i dont really wanna do 1212 from the start..although i might reconsider that.these plants are supposedly bigggg yielders,so 12/12 from start might work lol.either way thanks yall lol

sativas really need all the time they can get, even one week is the difference between kapow and ...kablooey. i suggest you get some indica strains.

So you found these two crackpot 'methods', and you want US to tell you which one is best? Why not go 15 minutes on/15 minutes off, then you can be done in one afternoon? (Note to self: invent microwave cannabis). LOL!

Holy shit that was hilarious 😂

Sativas can be made to finish a little faster by running lights 11/13 instead of 12/12. It will only save you about a week, maybe 2, though. It will also lower yield slightly but I don't notice it. I grow a heavy sativa don strain and always run 11/13.

As others have said only real way is different genetics.

Why don't you just fix the problem? Get in the car and drive to a dispensary, buy your weed and go home. Then ZERO time waiting.

There is no such thing as a 2 week sativa.

How much daylight do you recommend giving Sativa's during Veg? Everyone does it differently is why I'm asking?

You hear this guys. Feeding your plants high N doesn't shorten bloom by weeks. Neither does foliar borocitrate. And 11 hours for sativas. Less yield than 12. Whatever you do don't try less light,you yield will go to negative.

Repeat this a million times, Cannabis community, so we know it's true.
