How to speed up budding or flowering process

Why are you calling him an idiot? It's the only sensible post on here. Way ahead of the daft Newbie comments.
Cut your daylight hours to 12/12 if possible to induce budding. 36 hours of dark at the beginning also helps but can encourage a plant to hermie.
How you do this is up to you. If the plants are small enough, put inverted trash cans over them for 12 hour nights (same time every evening)
If they are in pots, pick them up and move them somewhere dark inside.
Whichever way you do it, you will either have to continue throughout flower or wait until the natural daylight hours drop to a maximum of 13.
Also, ensure the plants are nowhere near any light during their dark period. A street light, car headlamps or light spill from a window with blinds shut can screw the flowering up. Anything brighter than moonlight.

Actually Cues reply helped me out.

So what? Should we all start hearing ppls ridiculous non science base thoughts all over again just cause the threads old?? Youre a dumb ass

I veged (18-6)from seed hydro for 25 day then I did three days of complete darknees the after three day I turned the light back on (12-12) I read some where it helps with flowering. To be honest idk if it helped they showed sex like two days later. I just harvested last night so ill try to post pics. O ya as far as shortning I don't think so. My gals went a whole mont longer than planned. But I may have fuckedd up a time er two or four

GSP is a fuckin moron. Hey GSP.... Have you ever even smoked pot before?

Your point is? Does information like this expire?

OK I am looking to try and speed up the last month of my grow. I have my Northern lights outside and under a gazebo at night cause of due. We are having a very hot week this week so I take the top off during the day and a wall if I am home. I have to keep them in there just in case I need to hide them from my kids friends coming over or what not. Is there anything I can do to make them bud faster? I am new to all this. I am in BC Canada. I am confused on all these comments.

you can also speed up your plower and but growth with indoor plants by cutting the'r

lighting time.

The sunlight is what determines your plants size and how fast its gonna flower.

most indoor plants have 18- 24 hrs. of light a day.

Grow your plant to the desired height and just cut your lighting times to 12 and 12 12 light , 12 hrs. of darkness,

This process will tricki your plant into flowereing even as early as a month.

lol what the hell is this guy talking about? the process of flipping plants from veg to flower lol? i think the question was how to speed up the flower period. not how to iniate it. everyone knows you can put a plant into flower at any size you want. hes asking how to speed up his plants flowering thats already in flower.
