Re: Is there any explanation
Guys:
This is an educated guess, but I would think the plant is less stressed during
the night. the dew even feeds it more moisture, without the sun evaporating it.
As the plant gets older, & stronger; stress is not so damaging---the plant can
handle it. The difference between day & night is heat & humidity. As the plant
gets older, it probably needs more heat, & with more & deeper roots, it has
available water all the time.
A question for all of you. Has anyone checked to see if they grow faster or
slower on a rainy or overcast day? versus a sunny day. Do they grow faster on a
hot day (85-100 degrees F) versus a very warm day (70-85 degrees F)?
Remember, a rainy day provides more minerals through the absorbed rain, so
thisa might have an effect.
Let me know more details & Perhaps we can form a hypothesis.
