IMHO the production of male/female flowers is much more complicated than

Personally, I'm too lazy to keep track and too forgetful to remember what I
learned in the first place. (Gotta get that tag system set up!) I just
accept what the plant does.

But doesn't good light all year make for more robust bulbs?
Isn't this an argument for growing the plant to its best or
fullest potential?
