This question is for straight run, non feminized seeds grown outdoors. I was curious how much the age of the plant could influence the start of flowering, and potentially how early it finished. I haven't had a chance to experiment yet with this but was wondering if anyone else had.
I know that in general, the length of available daylight triggers the flowering to start, but lets say I had a pack of seeds and started half on 3/1 and the other half on 3/21. I grow them indoors and in a greenhouse for 2 months then plant the females outside at the same time. Is there any chance the seeds that are 3 weeks older will begin flowering sooner? There's obviously going to be differences in phenotype with seeds, but lets just say on average.
I know there are many other variables here, but I'm interested in getting my plants to finish a little earlier, and aside from genetics and light manipulation, am wondering what if anything can be done?
Thanks
