Transpirational Pull
"When leaves are vigorously shaken, however, as by a strong wind (or even manually), the stomata close and transpiration stops."
On that note, we should all understand that Cannabis is a rather thin leaved plant.
At first I didn't know if this would relate to Cannabis,
and I had been trying to figure out what was stunting my littl'uns.
I had the fan on full force, point blank on the poor little girls.
I thought this would help move heat, build stiff cellulose (it still does) and allow for better gas exchange.
Well, progressively I had to move the lights to 8" away from the plants, and it was just a 40w CFL.
After I turned the breeze down & faced the fan away from the plants, the next day I noticed
intense rebounds. Droopy plants became perfect perky leaves, vertical growth resumed,
and the leaves reached for the light once more.
Now it seems the plants want to be ever closer to the light again, like it was just too much energy for
a seedling without proper CO2 exchange..
Keep in mind all functions of plant growth respond to eachother.
Just a word
