What Makes an Onion Start Bulbing? (It’s Not What You Think)

What actually makes an onion start bulbing? Most gardeners know that onions form bulbs based on day length. Short-day onions bulb at around 10–12 hours of daylight, intermediate types need a little more, and long-day onions require 14+ hours. But why does a certain number of daylight hours trigger that change? In this video, we dig into the science behind onion bulbing — including research that explains the genetic switch inside the plant that controls the transition from leafy growth to bulb enlargement. We’ll cover: • How onion plants sense day length • The role of FT genes (AcFT1 and AcFT4) • Why onions must reach a certain maturity before bulbing can occur • The difference between short-day, intermediate, and long-day onions • Why planting early is critical if you want big bulbs Right now in South Georgia, our short-day onions are approaching the 10 hour 50 minute daylight mark — meaning the bulbing switch is about to flip. Understanding what’s happening inside the plant can help you time your planting better and grow larger onions. If you’ve ever wondered how an onion “knows” when it’s time to bulb, this video breaks it down in simple terms.
