Hi there! Yes there is a way to speed-up the entire process, by playing with time (yeah that sound like you're a goddess right?!). Indeed, you can manipulate time and shorten days&nights by adjusting your timer's schedule. For example, 16H light / 3H darkness will simulate short days and the plant will somehow act like it's the "real" calendar. But this generally applies to indoor growers only, because outdoor it will requires daily work to cover/uncover the plant with any sort of opaque container. Since you're growing outdoor, I won't recommend any kind of manipulations to speed-up the process. Your baby will need maximum light and time to produce buds, outdoor conditions are far less optimal than indoor ones, so you just need to give her much love, good nutrients, the biggest container you can (at least 15L) and you'll be rewarded. This strain usually grows in 8-10 weeks, but you can add 2-3 weeks because of your outdoor environment. Patience will pay ;-) I'll be around, keep us up-to-date so we can help you and refine your parameters, and happy growing!

Flowering for autos is a matter of development. Once the plant is mature enough, it will flower; mature does not mean old, it mean when it has opened enough pair of leaves (5 or 6). More light helps and temperature is the big growth accelerator. What you can do is put in a bigger container 2 or 3 gallon (7 or 11 liters), the added root space will make it grow faster.
