Yes you are right, it could be a trigger for blooming. When we had hurricane Ian during all the wind we chopped off the top of two pstems, they ended up blooming a couple months later but the bunch was small and they didn't make it. I think for people who don't see blooms in their growing season maybe it works to get a small bunch at least.
