Okay. So I've been flowering for 4 weeks today under a 11/13 light schedule since the beginning of flowering. I will be moving in 4-5 weeks so I needed to finish quickly, I just need to know how much quicker. Could I harvest at 7 weeks?

you harvest when you want to , but all i can say is that when u switch it down it doesnt have much light build up, but also it help determin the sex faster unless you have a tropical sativa i would stay at 11.5 -12/12 hrs and tropical sativas have to be flowered at 10/14

Probly a stupid question, but how do I post pics? lol I'm on a PS3 browser by the way. So my light schedule will do absolutley nothing to speed up flowering? Would about places with long nights and short summers? How does cannabis flower there?

The plant is going to do what it does, if you don't provide the best enviroment for it to grow in then you will hurt it in the end. Best thing to do is to just cut it early and get ready for the next grow

Applications of Photoperiod
The photoperiod is used to manipulate the plants in two basic ways. By giving long dark periods, you can force plants to flower. By preventing long nights, using artificial light to interrupt the dark period, you can force the plants to continue vegetative growth.
The amount of time your garden should be exposed to lighting depends on what 'cycle' your garden is in:
vegg cycle of your garden starts with the sprout of the seedlings and can be continued indefinitely. In the veg cycle your garden will require a minimum of 16-18 hours of light and 6-8 hours of darkness daily. Since a given amount of light can only do so much, equal production can be realized in a smaller space with less plants, where the light is concentrated and the plants can grow more efficiently. Using more light helps additional co2 uptake.
Since a plant can be kept in the 'Veg cycle' indefinately, many growers cultivate 'Mother' plants. This plant is used for clone starts and never produces buds, only new growth.
flowering or 'Bud cycle' is typically equal amounts of light and dark, 12 hours on, 12 hours off or 12/12. This produces a change in the plants metabolism simulating Fall, shorter days....less light.
This is the cycle that the plants will show their sex. Usually, you'll be able to determine the sex within the first 2 weeks of 12/12. By the 3rd week most plants have developed healthy bud sites or pollen sacks.
The plants will continue on the 12/12 cycle until harvest.

ok luda, same question..... we all know that veg and flower are different things, and that flower is triggered by diminishing light hours....

but then, these guys aren't talking about veg hour lighting. they're talking about less than 14 hours of daylight (which almost always induces flowering). in some places plants don't get a full 12 hours of light.

so, you're kinda wrong here. different flowering schedules DO work. however, you won't flower a plant in a veg room unless it's mtf or another containing ruderalis.

so how do you figure that 11/13 won't work?

Actually Luda, you did say that 11/13 makes no diffrence. Well, I found out how to post pics from PS3 browser, but now I gotta find my SIM card. Give me a few guys, I'll have pics soon.

i guess i'm not understanding. the op is about 11/13 opposed to 12/12. what were you trying to say about this?

basically it does not matter(11/13 or 12/12) but it wont make the plant finish any earlier.
its ready when its ready and you cant speed up mother nature regardless of photoperiod.
the OP is now a friend and contacts me through messaging.

im my opinion through my own experience 11/13 does deffo make a difference, it done in the last 2-3weeks it will trick the plant into thinking winter is on its way therefore forcing the plant to ripen faster, i am in the last 2weeks now, ive just began a flush and i like to switch to 11/13 for the last week as it realy ripenz up the bud.

yes 11/13 will speed up flowering but wont make the plant finish any faster.
