the method of how the plants are taking water, sink from the top, source from the bottom. thats just a wild guess

no, but good guess

this is about learning to read your plants, there will be a pic, but instead of just postin it I thought we would have some fun first, kinda like the NooB Advice game/class :)

source is where the water or nutrient solution is coming from, and the sink is where the source stops through the medium and drainage happens. How's that?

No, but your thinkin, bit of a hint, has to do with energy
Source is water/nutrient or soil release of nutrients, by water AND Sink is absorbtion of nute's by roots, and the drainage through the medium. So I was half right and I'm adding to it. On yet?

No still off/wrong it is about what the plant is doing, not the nutes or water, member I said this is about learning to read your plants, which means there is a sign you can see

is it where there isnt an available source for thew plant to obtain what it needs so it uses it self and drains the 'sink' to take what it needs from itself?

you are very close, you get one ding :)

sink is where the plant stores nutes for later, now how do you know it is a sink by looking at it?

I read my plants to decide when to water not a set time/days. So I see their Turgor pressure (sp?) drop, then I see when they are ready for a growth spurt by reading them after a watering. On a cellular level is this involved?

has nothing to do with watering, is more a sign of maturing, plant getting ready to flower

Is it The side of the plants getting the far red light (it is not overhead, I'm pretty sure) are beginning to flower while the 'shadowed' from the far red are not. Converting the chemical and flowering. The post earlier involved? If I'm not much closer, I'll wait to see.

the plant is in sink when the leafs drop after it has used up all its stored nutes aka the source?

Nope, we have already said the sink is where the plant stores nutes

hence deductive reasoning would say the source makes the nutes for the plant to store

now all that it is left is what tells us which is which when we look at em?

hint it is a common noob question
