I may lose my grow space 2-4 weeks before my anticipated harvest time. If possible do y’all think it would be worth paying 700-800$ To buy me more time. Or just harvest early, half of the tables are strains that Would be ready but I would lose out on yield the others is new so I’m not sure

What kind of yields are we talking about, because 4 weeks early is basically a wash for your grow... 700-800 could very well be worth it.
I concur with this.. 4 weeks early if going to be about worthless.. how much quantity are we taking here? anything over a couple of ounces I would say it's with the couple hundred to be able to finish then out just figure what you buy or could sell an oz for and do the math, if you'd be coming out ahead, it's worth it, if not, well a it's not

Thanks everyone I’ll talk to my friend and see if he will hold off if He can’t then I’ll just max out all my tables this last cycle and buy a couple more tables and drivers

Ok so I have an idea, I have a certain number in yield as a min I want to meet. And yes you guesses it a pound lol but per light. I looked at where everything is at now and for this last cycle if I started them in the veg room in flower 2-3 weeks before the last cycle I should be good. At the most a month early, it’s looking unlikely I could buy more time. The next variable is they will get at max 300watts

Couple days gained is all there, I run 10 1/2 on all the time. Sounds like the worst that could ever happen would be to break even not chopping. Hang there.

Interesting. If not to speed things up, what made you decide to run 10 1/2 on as your normal mode?

If you had a 60 day finish strain and ran two clones one under 12/12, and it finished at 60 days, what would you expect the 10 1/2 / 13 1/2 to finish at ? Just curious.

Some 8-9 week strains will be maybe 2 to 5 days sooner but not all. Ran into the idea on a thread by @torontoke and gave it a shot back then. Also saving about 10% on electric. It also seems trichs show sooner. No negatives noted but getting the same results in any less days equals more possible runs over time also, so that needs consideration as would Gram per Watt calculations.

And besides, I like it.

If it won’t negatively affect flowering I’m down to try it, I’ll change my timers over now thanks guys. Just did some math and a couple of my tables is finish early so I’ll just do another cycle on those and flower out my leftover moms and just keep a couple small moms that I like
