Without Alternating Nodes

[StonedCold]

Everyone always talks about flowering when you see alternating nodes. I was wondering, what if you flowered 2-3 weeks in, without alternating nodes? I've seen the product of no veg'n cycle, and it looks like a corn stalk, but much smaller with one main cola and barely anything else. Would this be a similar result or would the flower force extra branches in a last effort to mature prior to sending out the flowering hormones for bud sites?

Has alot to do with the strain.
