Default Re: Just a few questions

If you read all the literature, much will say that they flower after a certain number of leaves, but they ALL disagree on how many leaves that is, or give a range of plus or minus 10 leaves, or so. Thus, if you can't determine how many leaves are needed before flowering, then there is no such number of leaves, and all the claims that the number of leaves is the determing factor are bogus. From experience (given decent water and nutrition) a particular variety will flower fairly consistently at the same height. From experience, pups of nearly identical age, will flower at nearly the same time, if all other factors are the same (water, fertilizer, weather, sun, etc).
