Default Speeding up flower opening
I have a flower that started opening last night. It got pretty far today. How can I encourage it to finish opening so I can put it in our show tomorrow.

Don't think you can I think that is set partly with genetics and mostly with development time.

For future, I think a bit warmer temperature and a bit brighter light but it won't do it in one day!
