Hi all,

I started growing in my closet about 3 weeks ago and have 8 plants now that vary from about 4" - 9" tall. The tallest one is a sativa and the rest are all indica and have big leaves for their relatively young age. All came from bagseed. There are 3 plants that are 8-9".

I was laid off from my job yesterday and I am planning to move out on June 30th, in which case I will need to be done with this project. I will have all the time in the world M-F over the next two months to tend to these plants (traveling on the weekends.)

The plants are (obviously) still in vegetative state right now. I have read that flowering takes 8-12 weeks. Given this information, if I wanted to go ahead with flowering I would need to *force these young plants into 12/12 light on Monday in order to have 8 full weeks for flowering.*

I realize this is not optimal, but I already have invested the money in CFL lighting and Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil, vermiculite, perlite, and pots. Not to mention the time spent over the last month growing these babies.

So my questions are this:
1. Is there a strong possibility that by forcing these young plants into flowering at this stage that I will have ZERO yield in 9 weeks?
2. If my plants do bud, but are not fully matured will harvesting this bud early make it useless or will it still be smokeable? (Remember I recognize this is nowhere near optimal)
3.Is there anything I can do in flowering to speed up the process?

Your answer to these questions and/or any additional advice is much appreciated! Thank you!
