Can we make an Autoflower finish faster?

[GentleCaveman]

More light hours? Less light hours? Anything that makes them finish faster?

I believe some think no bloom nutes untill flowers show helps longer veg(i do not) so maybe try bloom nutes from the get go. I use coco and still using H3ads modified lucas with 6/9 of GH Micro and Bloom and ZERO grow nutes the entire way. Cal mag as well since under QB. Other than that just look for fast flowering like Mephisto Sour Crack. 55 day finisher but by the looks of the ones i see they are +- a few on average about 1 oz. They were mabe to be a nice SOG auto.

My plants don't eat processed food. They are hippies.

A small pot. That will finish them faster, of course a lower yield.

Limiting root growth and access to nitrogen is used for many flowering and fruiting plants industry wide.

Also look for some older school genetics with 40 to 50 day flower times.

I was asking for plant thats already in flowering but thanks, will keep in mind.

You can drop cycle ... but why ?

Autos are hardwired to finish usually under 90 days , so doing light play with them just wastes the grow potential. 12/12 with autos sucks all the way around. Flowers are much smaller and are never really mature. The ruderalis in it is the Time keeper and you can not change it.

Thats what I exactly tought but just wanted to make sure, might need to chop early due to some reasons, might not. They are @day 73 anyway, will see.

I have a White Widow plant that has been flowering for 95 days (13.5 weeks)! The trichomes have looked cloudy for a month, but I'm still waiting for more amber (there's maybe 3-5% right now) to appear.

Give only water from day 35 and they will finish fast, but you will damage yield an potency.
There are strains that will 60-65

I think it depends. no?

Because there is my plants thats beeing growing water only since day 1. I don't think they have any space for more buds but they keep spitting white pistils, so I would say they didn't lose anything.



I just felt like I might have to harvest them sooner due to some personal problems but turns out that I might not. Considering they have only 5-7 days left I think I'm good.
