Leaves stuck pointing straight up

For the life of me I have always thought that the AI (active ingredient) of foliar sprays could only be taken up via the stomata. Apparently that is not true, quite the opposite as the surface area of stomata falls short of the total surface of a leaf surface. A leaf absorbs salts thru the leaf epidermal cuticle. Call this company up for an interesting discussion regarding foliar sprays, micro deficiencies, leaf burn, etc. Talk to the owner, Johnny. Since he sells such foliar products, if anyone knows the science of leaf uptake, function of stomata, it's him. He gifted me a bunch of his products so I am familiar with them.

Just epsom salt and plain water that was sitting out for 48 hours to get rid of chlorine. Is it possible to unclog the stomata? Spray with plain water?

Luke warm lowest PPM possible water. May want to shower them followed up by spray, or spray a bunch during one night cycle to unclog stomata. FYI, I stole this answer from gardenweb.

And one more thing before I go to bed. I wasn't aware Texas had an advanced medical marijuana system. Maybe I'm wrong? But if I'm not, I'm glad your shit tests out pesticide free, 22+ %thc and mold free EVERY time. Good for you chief!

JUST SO THE RIGHT INFO IS PASSED ALONG

My leaves pray all day and all night, they pray when it's 65 and they pray when it's 75, the temps, humidity doesn't matter. Hydro plants get so much o2 and you can dial the nutes in to the perfect range and when this happens, they pray because they are happy and growing like a boss. It can also happen in soil or soilless with some skill and a nice feed schedule.

Plants will also pray if it's too hot. But if your temps are not a problem then:

Check for a MAGNESIUM deficiency. If there is no MG deficiency then:

Check if the stomata are clogged from foliar feeding? New to me because I don't foliar feed, but I suppose it could happen? And if this is not the problem then:

Your plants are happy and healthy and there is nothing to worry about.

The end.

If you foliar feed, someone above said

"Luke warm lowest PPM possible water. May want to shower them followed up by spray, or spray a bunch during one night cycle to unclog stomata. FYI, I stole this answer from gardenweb."

What I'm talking about looks well the best i can describe it as is that gravity is now pulling up instead of down. Every leave point up at a pretty sharp angle. Normally they point up a bit on the inside, then curve to flat with just a bit of tip pointing at a slightly downward angle. Instead, everything points up at a sharp angle, it's unmistakably not a good sign.

Gravity pulling up? Sound's impossible.
