Speeding up ripening process

RickC137started grow question 2 years ago
Hello, I want to harvest my plants this weekend, but one of my plants is slower than others, I need to speed up ripening process. I was advised to switch from 12/12 to 18/6. Or I´ve read on ILGM give them 10 hour of light and 14 hours of darkness. What should I do? Thank you. :-)

I would not mess with the photoperiod of the plant by changing the light cycle, you can't rush it with lights. you will only stress it out more and that could have negative effects on your yield. You could try letting it get a bit warmer in the tent as things speed up when they are warm but you are most likely going to have to wait or chop a bit earlier then expected if your in a rush. Its not the end of the world, it will still get you high and be a great product after a nice dry and cure. The high may not be as couch locking if you like a lot of amber, but if you don't like that then chop em with the rest it will be fine. Good Luck!

No do not change the light schedule. This will cause a lot of stress and will decrease yield. There is no way to fasten up the ripening process. Otherwise everyone would be doing it.

Hi, Give her only a PK (ripen from GHE). Lowering hours it get exactly the opposite of what you want. Less light is less development! You could try to stress her with icy water. A good idea would be to use hormones to speed up the ripening projects. I'm not that familiar with that but I'm pretty sure it exist

Do NOT switch the light cycle to 18/6. It will switch the plant back into a vegetative state and halt flowering completely. Dropping to 10-11 hours of light a day might do it, but I've only read about it and never personally tried it.
