If you're lucky, as I am, to have a well, watering can lower the soil
temperature
to help trigger stalk formation.

I get the feeling that some of mine react to a significant drop in soil
temperature,
rather than a specific trigger temp.  No data, just a gut feeling.

I've stopped for this year, but typically use Miracle Gro at a very diluted
setting
with a hose-end sprayer.  I quit by Labor Day each year because nothing good
happens
when tender new growth meets hard frost.
