DWC 12/12 to 10/14 or less

So I am considering a experiment to get the fastest possible harvest time, Im considering running 12/12 from seed until flowering start then switching to 10/14 or less to trick the plant into thinking winter is close and it needs to hurry in a last ditch effort to produce in turn getting the maximum amount of THC that you could possibly get in such a short time frame. Then curing naturally for 3-4 weeks to further help.

I have some seedlings about 10 days old or so in a 6 gallon DWC under 430w hps for 12/12 the goal is to harvest on probably Jan 18th.

The goal of this is not to produce the best yield or max amount but to produce at least something that will still provide a decent high.

Here is a link to my original thought on this with the short light cycle

Fom everything i read you could not make them flower any faster,you had to wait for them to get to the pre flowering stage. But keep a post i will be watching to see if it works.

Correct I dont believe I can induce flowering any faster, maybe slightly but nothing substantial. The main thing Im trying to accomplish is to reduce the time from the start of flower to harvest without sacrificing to much in THC levels. Yield will of course be less.

I think a mixture between some cool air temps, then stepping down to a 10/14 light cycle at the start of flowering will help speed up flowering slightly. Then in the last week, flush with PH balanced water and 0 hrs of light. Then a proper and long cure should finish it all up.

Will keep updated with photo's here soon.

I have strain named Lo-Jack and CrackerJack these may interest you because they are both slightly auto-flowering that are crossed with a strong fast growing Jack Herer female.. the flower times should be around 45 to 50 days...

The Lo -Jack is Comrade x blue berry x apollo 11 then crossed to my Jack Herer which is Northern lights #5 x skunk#1 x haze.. said to be the best pot in the world... I have smoked plenty of Jack and I love it....

The Lo- Jack sounds interesting would for sure like to give that one a try
