[QUOTE="2busy, post: 3593262, member: 12213"] Growing big onions has everything to do with type, planting time, fertilizer. Oklahoma can grow short day or intermediate day onions. Day length is what triggers the onion to bulb. I plant onions in February to get maximum top growth before day length starts the bulbing process. Each leaf is a ring in the onion. The more leaves you have the bigger the onion will be when they start bulbing. A lot of it is luck with the big temperature swings we have here. Onions are biennial and produce seeds in the second year. With our temperature swings it can fool the onion into producing a flower stalk. Nothing you can do at that point. You cannot stop that on e started. Onion sets will not produce big bulbs. You have to start with plants preferably pencil diameter or smaller. They will be less prone to flowering . [/QUOTE]
