I heard something from a friend of mine that you can manipulate your plants to think that their ready to start flowering? Since my crop is alittle late, I wouldnt mind trying this? any thoughts or suggestions?

Beaner looks like he has a big dick in his mouth...he probably was slipped the date rate drug...seriously though, I have an outdoor plant in a pot that I just started covering 3 days ago...12 hours covered with 2 black plastic garbage bags...I cover them at 10pm and unvail them at 10am. After 3 days I already have the White hairs everywhere and looks to be a week away from starting to actually flower and bud...I also started out late so I hope this helps ya

you have to have at the most 12 hours of day ligt...If you cover at 10 pm and uncover at 10 am then you will only be haveing 9hrs most of daylight...

ice 3x I have done this before and I have had success in doing it..what i used though was a 50 gal drum...(heavy pain in ass, but it worked.). my plant was like around 3.5 feet and I just wanted totry it ..so ..hey it worked but you have to be consistant If ur going to do it. Im sure that just about anythin will work just block out the light, but do it before sunset until after a little bit after sunrise and just remember the solstice is around sept 23 dependent on what area u live in so do it until then an BAM!!!you should have harvest.....grow on...smoke on...peace

Something like that.
Not sure of the name.

Genetically manipulates the plants and changes them to flower cycle
