Stewart I look at wilting as a defense mechanism.........when leaves wilt i
think certain processes slow or shut down.......thus not achieving the
cool, calm, all systems go go go..world record kick butt growth........your
observation is correct as the plant developes and the root develop more the
plant is able to keep up with the transpiration......thus less
wilting.................good luck brock
