Freakin utility company, needs in to install a smart meter, i need to clean up before they do. stains im running range from 8-10 weeks. if i run until 9th week that gives me 7 days to dry and clean up the area. im currently on day 29 of flowering and wondering if doing 11/13 would shorten my flowering times? any advice or tips much appreciated. im growing in ebb flow bucket system under dual 600w hps's.

Just move your plants for a short time. It's not like the power company is going to go look in your bathtub (where you can keep the fan running to keep the smell down)...

To be honest I don't know, but sounds like you should try and take what you get before you tear it down. It makes sense it might speed it up a little but I bet not much.

It's a utility company, not a building inspector. As long as they have access to what they need they are ok. Not like they're going to do a thorough full basement search.

A buddy wants a smart meter, but the man said no ...

on account theres asbestos in the facial/mounting board,

drilling holes in asbestos is a no no ..!

if the sh!t hits the fan

go rent a U-haul trailer

Call em and reschedule, tell em there was a death in the family and you won't be around that week.
Absolutely!

They work for you, You don't work for them. And I hope it's not one of those smart meters. They called and asked me if I wanted one. I said no, I like the stupid ones.

As far as I know you can speed up plant finishing by reducing timer you are copying nature out doors,

I don't know for sativa but I mainly grown indica but reducing time every so meny days or so dose make the plant think it's end of season and will concentrate on finishing what ever flowers it has and ripen.


I'm no pro only done this for hobby for under a year but that's from what I know and read. But allways double check.

Good luck and I'd be safe than sorry mate.
You can allways grow more once they are done rather than getting busted and smoking non in jail lol :bigjoint::weed:

Your best bet is to reschedule it between grows. If there was a way shorten flower times we would all be doin it. I have to have my meters changed also, but luckily they're outside.

I do vegetables out door in uk and last year due me being in pain and slow I couldn't put the plants early so we was late the tomatoes and orbagene were young plant's and got small amount fruits.
People do 12/12 and that's from seed.
You can force finish it will affect yeild but it should by nature finish itself off. Small budds maybe but it should do what nature does by reducing timer.
