Plants in Flower - V Shaped (Praying) Stems/Leaves

SetMeFreeAgain · Jul 27, 2012

I'm wondering if should I be concerned about these plants. The stems are very vertical and I definitely could use the opinion of someone with more experience. The temps range in the room from 65-75f but the canopy may get a bit hotter.

65 is wayyy to cold. Plants are clumping together to conserve heat and 'pray' for heat. get a heater in there so heat flows from bottom to top. Try to keep air temp at 77, canopy uip to 83

No worries the plants are vigourous, this will stop in a couple of weeks when it has framed up.

Bro you made that up. If it was too cold the leaves would droop and sag from lack of vigour and energy .

looks good dont trip they do that when the turgor pressure is a bit high.

Thanks for the feedback all, I may try to get it a bit warmer. Could you explain what you mean by turgor pressure?

Here's a pic of SleestackXSkunk for you all

your joking?turgor pressure is an effect of osmosis. when a plant wilts its from the pressure going down when the pressure is high the plants look like they are praying..... try google fore more info.

Ok im 99% sure now, praying leaves is an over compensation effect from watering after a dry cycle. I took these on a dangerously extended dry cycle, watered last night, boom praying leaves this morning.
It's not something ive ever cared about, several weeks back i saw it go by on forum so it was on my mind when i saw this.i picked this thread to necro cuz @hexthat mentioned turgidity.

though there are several independant pressures inside a plant, one is pressure from cells growing rapidly. the hyponastic leaf movement can be observed on healthy growing plants and these go down or up in the plants internal rhythm, mostly based on light regiment and circadian rhythmic

I just kinda wanted to let the more exp. growers know if a newb brings up praying leaves and they say theyve been watering everyday or something like that, they are lying or havent been watering correctly.

My plants are watered every single day and they pray.

So am I lying or am I watering incorrectly?

Weve narrowed it down is what im taking away...its osmotic, turgor pressure related...i know light has nothing to do with it

So I just went to to snap these pics. Plants haven’t had a feed for just over 12 hours now and it’s a hour before lights come on
