Nope, I haven't noticed any timing differences. The other thing I don't see anymore is the top of the plant starting/maturing /finishing more rapidly than anywhere else, either. Since the whole plant matures en masse, it's much easier to time chop- which also happens on time.
Usual suspects for changing timing apply; air temperature and CO² being the biggest. Low substrate temps and even root shock can delay onset. Dry- both dry media and low RH- pushes faster, as does hotter.
Some strains, especially tropical sativa dominant varieties, need a stronger darkness signal to get the hint right away. This is why many growers like to give their plants 24 to 48 hours of continual darkness at flip.
TBH, my plants respond more like plants their size (big), rather than 'vertical'.
exactly..
