I posted it in the outdoor forum like 3 weeks ago but haven't got a response. I'm growing a few plants outdoors in pots. Nothing special, just some bagseed I had laying around. My question is can I get it to flower early or do I have to wait all summer? Yes, I'm an impatient fuck, LOL. Thanks fellas.

Depends how much work you want to do! You could either build a large enclosure perhaps a tent for all of them...light-tight of course. Open and close it to mimic a 12/12 or whatever lighting cycle. Otherwise you could get suitable sized boxes and do the same thing individually by periodically covering and removing the boxes for a light/dark cycle.
ABSOLUTELY!!! as i hope u are aware marijuana is induced into flowering when the sun is out for 12 hours then a dark period for 12. this occurs naturally in late summer early fall and the plant is prepsring to propagate before winter. all u have to do is give ur lil girls 12 hours of uninteruppted darkness a day(make sure to keep it consistently the same 12 hour period. ie 8pm-8am 7pm-7am) if u change it u can stress the plants(bad = less harvest).. to do this simply pull the bucket into a garage or shed that is completely dark(check for light leaks) the plants will think its time to flower and VOILA! earlier harvest for u my friend. if it wasnt in the pots u would be SOL, Haha... hopes thats the answer you were lookin for.

or, the easiest option.... you could just get an autoflowering strain that enters the flowering cycle regardless of the light cycle. you have very little control over these plants, but I hear they have consistent yields and decent potency.
