Can you rush a grow to go out of town?

If you transplant before going out you can shock them for a couple of days before they start feeding again. Give some thought to it, whats your media and environment temps and humidity

You cant rush women...they just get moody, stubborn and take longer. Those plants are the same way, you might can slow them down but the only way to speed them up is the big chop and i suspect that would make all the work you did to get to this point mean nothing.

I was gonna say, you know how you add more bloom nutes the further along you get in flower? What if you tried to lean less on bloom and a little more on veg nutes?! Obviously they need both, but if you're mixing 3 parts bloom to 1 part veg, what about try a 2-2 you know what I mean?!
That's an interesting and very doable option! Thank you, I didn't think of that!

I'm growing outside. I'm in soil. Temps are 90's in the daytime and 80's at night. Humidity is high, I'm in south Texas.

My girls are watered on a timer and I go on vacation all the time. Try not to be gone as I get closer to harvest tho.
That's the problem, harvest time is while I am on vacation. I've got 5 weeks, so no telling how far they will mature in that time. I'm in 3rd week of flower. I'll just have to whack them before I leave and leave them hanging while out of town.

Trust me If there was a way to rush it we would all be doing it.
You could have started light depo in summer so they would have been done early but you cant do anything about it now.
I actually did start light depo in summer (Aug 15), so they might finish out by October 19. They really need more than two months but that's the position I'm presently in. Like I said, they MAY finish out early, who knows??
