Also folks who are running rotaries from seed.
Yeild bites, but it'll work- expect flower times to go a little long ( 10-20%)
Never having used this technique on purpose, I can't honestly give concrete evidence, either way. If only one growspace, with very limited height, I can almost see why one would want to try. But I have never liked the results of early flowering.

Since I have seperate veg and flower rooms, I would prefer not to waste my time trying to skip vegging just to keep them small. There are techniques to alleviate a sat's tendencies to stretch, such as LST and topping for instance.

The times that I was forced to early flower, I have never netted a satisfying harvest. Quite the contrary. Perhaps my perpeptual harvest technique doesn't allow for the patience required to complete the painfully long flower stage, but, stringy, stress-prone underperformers aren't what I strive for. Could be I just do it wrong, lol.
