I see lots of threads about budding plants. Flowering times are always a subject. Here are some of the things I have found that are seldom mentioned. So much goes into flowering. Start times, finish times, All the hybrids out these days can have different blends of flowering times.
A early maturing plant has to start early so some of those are out of this equation. Very few people know that some long maturing strains start flowering early also. It is not when a plant starts flowering its how long it takes to mature once it does. I have had strains that start late and finish fast as well as the one's that start early and take forever to finish.
Early on in breeding, start and finish time's were one of the things looked at while making a hybrid. The blend of early start and a with a slightly later finish gave us those early cash crop strains. This gave plants more time to make bigger badder buds.
