Let me ask a silly question here.....Do veggie plants..let's say some hot peppers, have a vegging period and blooming period like marijuana? In other words, will they flower based on maturity vs. the photo period like marijuana? I've got some thai dragon peppers that are doing really well with my females and I've got tons of outdoor veggie gardening experience, but never grown indoors. Ideally it would be nice if the things kept producing fruit year round if I kept them growing and the environment the same.

im pretty sure that veggies grow fruit based off maturity. most tags ive read while buying veggies will say they produce after a number of days after planting. such as tomatoes where something like 60 days but may be less or more. a guy on RIU was doing some tomatoes in his cab and they flowered with his bud, he got some amazing looking tomatoes as well.

But how does it produce fruit even after it finished producing it if its under 24/0 light? How many days does it take for the plants to produce fruit after they just finished producing it?

from my experience they dont stop producing until theyre fruiting season is over. that is for plants that produce multiple fruits like tomatoes and peppers. not sure about lettuce and such since i havent grown it. tomatoes and those types will grow flowers above the others which will turn into fruit while the lower ones are rippening. many blossoms and fruit can be at once but once the weather changes to unfavorable conditions for those plants than production will halt. with 24/0 lighting and right conditions i would assume your plant wouldnt stop producing. cant say for sure though.

There is a lot of growing of veg in The Netherlands using a combination of indoor and outdoor. Manipulating light to increase growing seasons and light intensity to plant. Believe you me, there is a whole hydroponic industry and light industry out there that makes MJ growing rather small looking. All plants are light sensitive to veg and flower/fruit. The thing you need to think about is that a lot of plants produce fruit for one season, others continue to produce fruit, just like MJ, plants have different cycles. So I think it all depends on what you are growing, lol. Sunny here again, can't believe it. My veg's are loving it.
