also - if there was a sure-fire way to speed up time to harvest - we'd probably already be doing it.

I read that in an article about 10minutes before posting this thread. It said that a 12-12 cycle will allow the plant to flower longer, and have a larger yeild, due to the good amount of sunlight. As long as it has enough sunlight, it will keep flowring. It is from my understanding that reducing the sunlight to 8-10 hours will simulate the shortening days of fall- telling the plant that winter is coming, and it will finish flowering sooner. Thats my understanding of it- but Im new at this game.
Im trying to do as much reading as possible, but I still have a lot of questions... my apologies to the OG's who have answer my questions before. (Im a moderator on a car forum... I hate repeated questions, but sometimes they cant be avoided)
By the way, thanks to everyone who's been helping me out.
