Sorry no. The break down of chlorophyll takes time. You can experiment yourself, take a nice green leaf, place it in a brown paper bag and check it in a couple of days. It may dry out but it will still be green.

Possibly shortening curing time.
I have found no way to "jump start" curing or cut the the time of curing. Plus proper time to cure varies depending on a few enviromental factors.
Another pet peeve myth;

Roots grow during the dark period. Nope, all growth above and below ground level is a process of photosynthesis. "Roots grow in the dark but not when itis dark." There is cell division happening all the time at the tap/water root's meristem, but this cell division is the lubricant for the root tip growth.
