That would be due to the spectrum of light. Some plants begin to flower with the changing seasons in nature. MH lights are more on the blue end of the spectrum, hps are more of the orange and red end of the spectrum. Bright early and mid summer light is more of the blue end of the spectrum. Late summer and fall light, has more of the orange and red end of the spectrum of light. It's about mimicking nature to induce fruiting in those plants that need it (not all plants do).
