But Carolyn is talking about the early vegetative growth, before the plants start to produce flowers.
There is more info about the triggers for vegetative vs reproductive growth in the attached pdf by Dr. Merle Jensen. |
Yes, if you read above I was outlining about early vegetative growth first, and tried to explain about the sexual phase next and where energy came from,etc, that's in a post above.
But the I was asked a different question..... if it made a difference if and when EARLY blossoms were taken off as to early fruits and that's the last issue I dealt with here.
