so shit has basically hit the fan around my parts. i come home from a few days with the family to discover that my neighbors, who might i add are attached to me because i live in a duplex and i am damn sure there is a light leak from my grow light into their crib, back on topic i find out those neighbors will all be out of their place by the first of june and their place is an absolute shithole, meaning that starting tomorrow my landlord will be at the place next to mine doing maintanance from dawn to dusk. i could also go on to say that me and my girl broke up and everyone i know already got a place so i gotta find some person i dont even know to be my roomie.
needless to say i need to get these finished up fucking quick. they are about 7 weeks into flowering and only one of two has any hairs turning color and that one i would say is only about 15% if that. so im sure you can guess i could give a fuck less about yield at this point, i just want this shit to be at least close to being done so i can chop it and smoke it without it tasting like absolute shit.
my only idea at this point is to drastically reduce the light period but i highly doubt thats going to get me what i need. i need suggestions, anything!

that sux bro, why do u think there is a lite leak from ur grow to the other side of the duplex? get a carbon filter, that would help with the landlord smellin it. and seal the room man. ductape, trashbags, w/e works for u. but id suggest looking into the roomie before u go ahead and just let a stranger move in with u, specially if u grow.

dude fuck that, finish em up stealthy, but dont compromise the quality of your smoke cuz of you bitch landlord lol...keep your shits running on 12/12 which im assuming they are for flowering, and if you think theirs a light leak to were the landlord will see, then somehow try to seal it up... if your hairs are all white and you harvest, then its gonna be a sucky high...

Go 10 light/14 dark. From 9 am to 7 pm. This time of year it's daylight & strong that whole time right? So a light leak will be less noticeable. Try n seal the leak though!

Exhaust fan your stuff away from the connecting wall.

Or cut them down as soon as his van pulls up.

i am fully aware of the sucky high, i am trying to figure out how to get these plants to be near the point of being done sooner and i do know that reducing the light period will help speed up flowering but i need some other things that will help too. these plants dont stink much and the smelly things i got at walmart more then cover up the scent.
i know for a fact there is a light leak and it is way too big to cover up, i live in a very liberal college town and this wasnt shit for the like 8 stoner/partyer college kids who are currently moving out but im sure along with another run in with i had with someone about a ridiculous amount of dogs at my house i dont think this shit will fly when my landlord comes in by any means and instead of attempting to be risky and stealthy i want to be safe and i want the bud to taste good.
ideas please

Dude thats like asking for a 12 year old to play major league sports. Just aint mature enough. See if you cant find a friend to watch over them for another month or so until they are done.

If you are in hydro then cut the nutes to half strength. This way you can flush in 3 days and at least get something you can smoke. Cut your lights to 10/14 no problem.

I have heard of different ways to ripen your crop faster. One is called ripen, goggle it. the other was a fuckin banana peel or over ripened fruit in the grow area but I wouldn't do it. I had to cut it short before and harvested with mostly clear trichomes but after curring it for a couple months it was still good smoke.

Thats all I can think of. A roomie? what the fuck, In my opinion you are just asking for more trouble.

well cruzer, the sad thing is i was desperate enough to try the fruit thing but you still need time to let the fruit rot. the good news is my buddy is an alcoholic and actually holds to the promises he makes while shitfaced, it was great he even talked his girlfriend into letting him do it for me too. the thing is i cant take them to his house until tuesday so i can make some "modifications" to the windows in his basement and after a talk with one of the neighbors today i realize i need to hide them even until then so i figure i will just leave them in one of the inconspicious closets in my house.

soooo my buddy decided not to take my plants until they are done but i now got like another week + to let em finish. i harvested the top half of one of them and got roughly 50g wet and the other half of the plant still only has a few red hairs poking. so since i have to keep them until in can chop em down does anyone have any ideas on how to get them to speed up? i have them on 9 hours light and 15 dark
