My theory:
In nature, outdoors, in Southern America, if you start a seed outdoors, in the Spring, say around the last week of April or the first week of May or Mid-May, your plant will VEG in May, and June and a week or two in July. Around 9 to 10 weeks Maybe eleven weeks. (that is VEG for 10 to 11 weeks) . Come the summer, toward the end of July, it will show signs of FLOWERING and start the BLOOM cycle one week of July, and all of August and Septemeber and most of October.
Now in HYDRO, we cut that VEG time in HALF, with 24 /7 lights (Light 24 hours a day, all day, every day, 7 days a week) instead of getting LIGHT just 14 to 15 hours of 24 hours in nature. If we double the LIGHT time and feed them 24/7, as in Hydro (in Soil, they do not eat, drink or grow 24/7) then we cut the VEG time in HALF. So , in HYDRO, in a rapid grower like the Bubblponics System, we change the VEG Time from 10 to 11 weeks, to 5 and half weeks. AND WE GET THE SAME GROWTH AND HEIGHT. Same applies to the BLOOM time, it takes half as long as outdoors.
Another Theory:
In nature, it is not wise to let a 12 year old child get pregnant or allow a child to give birth and have babies. The baby will be deformed or have defects ro problems. YOU DO NOT IMPREGNATE A CHILD. Let the child get grown and MATURE first,then let it have babies.
SAME APPLIES TO POT. It does not make sense to get a baby pot plant pregnant and make it have babies(FLOWERS) . Let that pot plant get grow and mature, and then let it make babies.
I've done that SOG (forcing small plants to make flowers) and it is a waste! Let those plants get gorwn, then let them have babies.
I VEG or GROW under 24/7 LIGHTS, and I VEG for 5 full weeks. That is 35 days,and 35 inches tall. Then I BLOOM or FLOWER 8 to 9 weeks. I get a veyr high yield. VERY HIGH!!!!
