can anything speed buds up

The answer to your first question regarding speeding up flowering- You can speed it up with more light and optimum temps. Using an HPS will get you there a couple weeks sooner than CFL's. If you already have an HPS, then adding another won't make as much of a difference. For the most part, it's strain dependent and you can only speed things up by maybe a few days or a week...

The buds will form slowly but surely. They won't fatten up until the last couple weeks though, so just be patient.

Don't give them nutrients high in N anymore, some is OK. Look into Canna nutes, they have a nice website with instructions and dealers all over the UK. You should only need the Terra Flores. The PK 13/14 is optional but recommended. Terra Flores | CANNA UK

Maybe you can look up some info on that if you wanna speed harvest up alittle bit. . I think someone said some thing about it speeding up harvest by about a week to 2 weeks with 8 hours of light

Good advice! But one thing to mention is that if you turn the lights back to 10/14..It should be done about a week before harvest,not just when you start to flower..

:thumbsup:hi kevin10,if you're at 2wks 12/12,you got 6-8wks left,sorry,i know you've waited a long time but be patient,dont mess them about(causing stress)they may take even longer:thumbsup:listen to bigtopsfinn,i and every1 i know that grows use canna,the pk13/14 is cheap enough!:jointsmile:

Maybe try combining the spectrum. I noticed when i put a 250w hps in with my 400w mh the plants, that got the benefit of both lights grew bigger and faster than my others. I put the 250w at the weak end of my cab that got less of the Mh, Cant go wrong with dual spectrum IMO the plants just love it and thrive more.:thumbsup:
