Do slightly seeded plant flower better than not seeded at all?

Does anyone else think when a plant gets slightly seeded the plant flowers way better than not seeded at all. (Like maybe 10-100 seeds in a hole plants) it’s like the plant is happy it has succeeded in procreating and makes better flowers? Or am I crazy

Yes,I agree. No, you are not crazy. I have noticed that when breeding, lightly seeded plants (especially when very early in flower) do seem to have a positive hormonal response to being "pregnant" that seems to kick bud production into being more decisive.....it certainly reduces the chance of hermaphroditism in my experience.....in fact I now prefer to purposefully seed a few early buds just to prevent unwanted hermies and get the plants really flowering like they mean it. I believe the hormones associated with seed growth does "tell" the plant "yes, I can get pollinated, lets really go for it!"

Non è un caso che una minore impollinazione controllata possa favorire lo sviluppo della pianta. Quando la pianta viene impollinata con successo in misura limitata, l'energia viene spesso reindirizzata per supportare lo sviluppo dei semi, rafforzando la massa strutturale complessiva dei fiori come meccanismo protettivo naturale. Inoltre, lo stress prolungato dovuto all’impollinazione non soddisfatta, combinato con altri fattori ambientali, può innescare risposte fisiologiche significative che influiscono sulla salute delle piante.
