OK. Living things all have many, many chemical reactions going on inside of them called metabolic process. This "metabolism" happening inside plants is what regulates energy use, growth, etc. Some compounds (mainly enzymes) can act on a small scale for short durations as accelerants to a metabolic pathway. None of these, however, will actually speed up the entire growing cycle of a plant. This is because the speed at which a plant grows is far more dependent on genetics. Genetics are inherited traits (which means they come from the parents) and can not be changed. So the only way to get weed to grow like a weed is to get a strain that is genetically prone to do so...

Sorry, I did my best to limit the sarcasm, but you know, can't help myself completely.
