awww i was hoping it would make a small plant with heavy buds due to shorter "days"

but like i said, im blasted

 

[cowboylogic]

No prob, toke on!!!!!!!!!!!! Its all good............. And if you want a small plant with just a few fat buds. Top, pinch and bonzi that bitch in veg. Then flower away.....

"Top, pinch and bonzi that Bitch" I think I came up with a new catch phrase! LMAO

One thing that will speed things up some would be adding CO2. I've had it take almost a week off my flowering time. I didn't use it for that reason though. Using CO2 will give you a larger yield and allow your optimal temperature to be higher than 72 degrees allowing you to get your light closer raising the intensity of light hitting the plants and increasing photosynthesis which the CO2 aids in doing. If you don't have an air cooled hood and an air tight room then forget about it. You would be using too much CO2 to maintain proper ppm's and it will be a waste of money.

I also read in one of Rosenthal's books that you can do 14 on, 10 off. I always go with 12/12 though for flower and 24 for veg. You can save some time on your grow by doing 24/0 on veg. A lot of people say you should do 18/6 but I've done both and see no downside to 24/0, only faster growth during veg from the extra 6 hours of light per day. Look at my grow journal and you can see how fast my seedlings grew over the first couple weeks.

I would also use Rhizotonic or Roots Excelurator for the root development and stability. Thrive Alive B-1 red is another great thing that you can add to your feeding program for general health and to keep the plant stress free. A good root system and a stress free plant will always give you great results. Look at Azamax if you ever run into pest problems. It works for just about everything and is extremely effective. I used it on thrips, root aphids, and fungus gnats with success every time.
