Fuxxing with plants, growth spurts.

So I was sat in my growroom last night, wrecked as hell, and started thinking about how the first week or two of 12/12 sets off a massive growth spurt in the plants, they grow an inch or more a day, sometimes growing 2 new nodes overnight, but don't really start properly flowering until midway through the second week.
So if I wanted to save on veg time, would it be worth putting a rooted clone in the flower room for a week, then back in veg for long enough to stop it going into full on flowering before actually switching it permanently to flowering? What I'm wondering is would the stalling caused by reverting to veg be seen in this scenario, since the plant would not be in full flowering mode when it went back to 18/6.
It's something I'll try with one plant, and keep a control cut at the same time to see if it makes a difference for good or bad. I just wanted to see if anyone else has done something similar, and what everyone's opinion on this is.
Feel free to shoot me down if there's something basic that I've overlooked, I just love to experiment and think of new experiments to do. It could be worse, I could be like these "scientists" http://www.cracked.com/article_17460_6-biggest-dick-moves-in-history-science.html

It might well cause stress, but at that stage in a plant's life I don't think it could cause hermaphrodism. Tbh it seems like one of those things you can theorise all you like about, but without actually trying it there's no way to be sure.

i think what will happen is the plants will stretch to far which is not desired by most. No benift from stretched plants so no point doing it....save on veg time and just cut bigger clones :hump:


peace
