Add Florigen to the plant, it'll flower in a matter of days, no matter how old.)

Omri says it works to make a plant flower nomatter how old. Hummm. That means i could produce peppers two days after a plant sprouts. Or maybe 3 weeks.
 
He was prolly having one on ya... ;)

from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florigen

Florigen (or flowering hormone) is the term used to describe the hypothesized hormone-like molecules responsible for controlling and/or triggering flowering in plants. Florigen is produced in the leaves and acts in the shoot apical meristem of buds and growing tips. It is known to be graft-transmissible and even functions between species. However despite having been sought since the 1930s, the exact nature of florigen is still a mystery.

There has been a lot of recent research on it though.
 
Actually you can use it, even if we don't really what it is... graft a tiny bit from a fruiting plant and it'll induce fruiting.
