This is about How to harvest Neviles Haze or other super long flowering Sativas in early September. Many many months ago while reading about flowering I happened upon a Mikhail Chailakhyan paper. He was the one that coined the term Florigen.

I was working with grafting at the time and when I read his paper it floored me. The paper concerns longer flowering tobacco being flowered early by grafting with an early tobacco. The early tobacco was similar to autoflowers in weed. BINGO. Large lights flash in head. So I immediately plant some Tom Hills haze. My plan, graft a autoflower to a cloned THH and see if it flowers early. This rocked on for quite a while. My clones kept getting root rot and dying. The third set I got some to take. After letting them root good I grafted a NYLD auto to the THH with an approach graft. Basically skin away both plants and then tape together. Pics.
The small one on the top is THH.

I was going to keep this to myself and do some breeding with Hazes. The decrease in flowering time would be a great boon to breeding. Unfortunately a tornado came, cops got everything, busted. Since I'm certainly not going to be growing any time soon I figured I'd tell everyone.
After I had started this I found someone in Russia was doing the same thing and had been successful with an autoflower grafted to a Kali Mist. "In Russia". You know they don't have the weather for Kali Mist there but he made it happen.
It's interesting but known that certain new technologys people seem to start doing them at the same time. Very odd but it happens quite frequently. I don't claim to be the first just that I had the same notion.
I hope someone will try this this year. Here's the results I know so far. The auto does not have to be as big as the 12/12 plant. It needs to be after the solstice before the 12/12 is grafted to the autoflower. It would be great to have a Nevilles Haze finish in Canada.
