Well, I've never heard that one. Maybe it's the case if you use a high-nitrogen fertilizer or
something, I don't know.

It just seems to me that flower growth and blooming is pretty energy intensive, so might actually be
a time to avoid starving the plant.

I have often seen it about Cym. as soon as the new 'growth/spike'
starts. People say you have to stop feeding or the 'spike' will
turn to leaves. I think it is superstition due to the number of
times the spike was a new growth instead of the wished for
flowers.
