Yes, I believe plant responses to day length are hard wired at the genetic level by the phytochrome system.

Since the response is not continuously variable, I would expect plants to be one or the other. Seedlings do no usually behave like adults, and I would expect Ken's plants to be one or the other when they mature, possibly on an individual basis.
