No your not wrong on that in my opinion. I dont know if I would say mature but it may trigger flowering faster. Alot of people flip there plants before actual maturity. Sometimes you have to or you end up with trees before christmas. That why clones run better usually. They are mature and can trigger at any size. Smaller containers will definitely trigger faster if the plant is healthy and growing I feel. Ovcourse strain dependent. I made a post about doing regs in solos for a hunt to clear out the males first. They show pretty quick in them. Well at least last time they did for me lol. Save a fuckton of media too! Just my 2 Lincoln's
I never thought about pot size and sexual maturity. My plants are about 5 days behind a few growers as far as when flowering started. Might be because of the larger pots I'm using, not sure about the pot size others are using. I'm in 6 gallons of soil.I dont know much about anything but, sometimes bigger containers the plant sends out more roots= more veg time before the plant starts to grow/mature... Maybe... I do know when I use really small pots sometimes with regs Males show up even b4 I have flipped em.
I have always felt pot size played a roll in when veg starts vs the seedling stage. A seedling left in a 1 gallon pot will begin to veg sooner than a seedling started in a 5 gallon pot IMO.
I think about as a hobby grower that the plant will postpone veg if the roots are not finding resistance such as competing for space in nature or being crowded in a 1 gallon pot. If the plant is in a 5 gallon pot it will race to spread roots while postponing the explosive veg growth taking advantage of filling in the void before another plant does. I'd be curious to see an experiment where 5 seeds were left in 1 gallon pots and 5 were in 5 gallon pots to see if maturity showed at different times, Just 2c.
