Will reducing watering speed up the flowering?

image.jpg image.jpg My two girls are outside by the pool. 6 or 7 hours only now of direct sunlight. They needed watering at least twice daily all season and I am wondering if reducing the watering will speed up the process.

Still plenty of white hairs. It looks sweet but I need the plants to be harvested asap.

Thoughts?

I water my outside pots 2x's daily...they are root bound Bettys, I have high winds usually and I'm 6800ft closer to the sun ;) They need alotta water during rootboundness and flowertime.
Depriving them of water wouldnt help, give them the water they need.

Yep never let your girls get too thirsty. I find that using some good EWC in the soil mix helps with water retention.

Well ok and thanks.

This site is a godsend for newbs like me.

Any other advice for expediting the process? I have to harvest in 8 days.

So what size pots are they in? Also you could probably avoid watering twice a day with a slow drip. Plants are looking healthy though. You said you have to harvest in 8 days. Imo they need some time to fatten up. If its a have to thing then that sucks. Maybe try throwing a jug or something with a small hole in the bottom and top to create a drip. Being rootbound this late into flower is a pain. I always upcan to avoid it right before flower by atleast 20% soil volume.
