 noob question

lets say a strains flowering period is 75 days. if doing a smaller plant and flowering earlier would the flowering period be the same 75 days or less?

but like he said stay patient and youll get the answers you seek and more.
wheres the mods around this site. how would one go about moving this to the proper forum? even tho its kinda dead now that the Q has been answered.
YES, youre flowering time will be significantly shorter. bcuz in that 75 days is figured seed/seedling/veg/flower

It's good that this is posted here because now I can call you a retarded butt pirate with herpes of the brain.
The flower time will be 75 days no matter how big it's grown. Flower time is the time from when you switch to 12/12. Seedling/veg time has nothing to do with it.
Desist from giving out shit information, noob.

When growing from seed your plant will actually take longer to flower if pushed onto a flowering photo period early on (if you count the days from the 12/12 switch). So in reality this will not speed up the flowering process and only cause problems. It takes 6-8 weeks from germination for pre-flowers to form. I've always waited to induced flowering after the pre-flowers have shown because I've read that it stresses the plant to force it before its maturity. Although if you are growin from clones then you can introduce flowering whenever you'd like.

araucaria -
if your goal is to reduce the flowering time of the plant, then as others have stated, it's not possible, but if you're under time constraints, there is a way to accelerate the process. you could shorten the 'days', at least from the plants point of view.
once your ready to switch to flowering mode (with the help of a timer with at least 9 separate on/off settings)you can setup 18hr 40 min days (or cycles, as i call them) with 12 hrs of darkness and 6 hrs 40 mins of light. if you do the math, you'll see that it divides nicely into a week, making nine days (cycles) in a week, at least from the plant's perspective.
In your case, your plant will still finish in 75 days (75 18hr 40min cycles), but it will only take about 58 calender days.
but, of course, if your plant is only seeing 6 hrs and 40 mins of light per day as opposed to the standard 12 hrs, you'll see a significant drop in yield, but she'll be ready for harvest that much sooner.
and no, i didn't just make this shit up, just google 18 hour day. there's a company called harvest master that sells equipment based on this concept.

well i assumed by "smaller plant" he meant forcing it to flower sooner.
it going to take less time in the long run if he doesnt prolong the veg period.
also i thought most vendor sites gave the time including veg/flower...
sorry for the shite info.

thanks for giving me the REAL answer hanky. and thanks for the 18h day thin dirty taco. i might just try that on a smaller scale. so basically the best way to reduce harvest time is to work with clones and a scrog i guess.

yeah, basically. and/or work with a strain with a shorter flower time.

I changed your rating from a zero to a three, that may go up or down depending on if you Guess the answers to any more questions.
Not cool at all, you could seriously fuck someones grow buy guessing the answers and providing shitty info.
I'm thinking you've never grown anything more than dick cheese.
