why i don't defoliate...
why i don't defoliate...
The plant leaves are lateral outgrowth of the stem which develop from the meristematic tissues of buds. They are the part of the plant shoot which serves as the chief food-producing organ in most vascular plants. To perform this function more efficiently, they are arranged on the stem and oriented as to allow maximum absorption of sunlight.
The leaves may be considered as the most important life-giving part of the plant body. The carbohydrate that is produced in the leaves sustains all animal life, including that of man. This organic compound contains the energy which the plant obtains from the sun, the same energy that powers animal and human life. Likewise, the oxygen that plant leaves give off is essential to the continuing existence of animals and other aerobic organisms.
An important feature of leaves is the presence of stomata or stomates (sing. stoma). Each stoma consists of a tiny pore surrounded by two specialized, sausage-shaped epidermal cells called guard cells. These tiny pores open and close to regulate the passage of gases and water to and from the leaves. Stomata are located mostly on the undersides of leaves, but they are also present on the epidermis of other plant organs such as the stems, flowers and fruit.
Leaves occur in various types according to size, shape, color, texture, form and other characters.
Functions of Plant Leaves
1. Photosynthesis. The process of producing food, known as photosynthesis, mainly occurs in the leaves of most angiosperms. This process essentially involves the absorption of light mainly by the chlorophyll pigments and the absorption of carbon dioxide via the stomatal pores in the leaves. As a result of the cleavage of the water molecule during photosynthesis, oxygen is generated and released to the atmosphere.
2. Transpiration. Plants lose a large volume of water through the leaves in the form of vapor. The exit of water is through the stomata and the cuticle, but stomatal transpiration is largely more dominant than cuticular transpiration. It is estimated that the loss of water via stomata through the process of transpiration exceeds 90 percent of the water absorbed by the roots.
Transpiration may be advantageous to the plant because of its cooling effect resulting from the expenditure of a portion of the plant’s heat energy in converting liquid water to water vapor. There is wide support also that transpiration pull is responsible for the continuous ascent of water and nutrients from the roots to the topmost parts of trees. But this process can be a disadvantage to the plant if transpiration loss exceeds the rate of water absorption through the roots.
3. Floral Induction. The plant leaves synthesize and translocate the flower-inducing hormone called florigen to the buds.
4. Food Storage. The leaves serve as food storage organ of the plant both temporarily and on long-term basis. Under favorable conditions, the rate of photosynthesis may exceed that of translocation of photosynthates toward other organs. During the daytime, sugars accumulate in the leaves and starch is synthesized and stored in the chloroplasts. At nighttime, the starch is hydrolyzed to glucose and respired or converted to transportable forms like sucrose.
It has been demonstrated also that food is stored in the leaves until they senesce. This food is exported to the stem before leaf fall and utilized in the subsequent shoot development.
5. Special uses. In banana, the leaf sheaths provide the physical support, oftenly called pseudostem, to raise the leaves upward. In a few insect-eating plants such as the pitcher plant, venus fly-trap and sundew, plant leaves are so modified to trap visiting insects, then releasing enzymes and digesting them for their protein which is a source of nutrition. In some plants such as Bryophyllum and Kalanchoe, the leaves are used for asexual reproduction.

Do u not take any leaves off?
I do when the overlap each other causing a wet pocket ripe for pm. Also when they just get overcrowed in one area. I feel it gives more light penetration and air flow. But ive learned to never do it to a unhealthy plant. Its like performing surgery on a sick person already. Also I am selective over what to pull, and only do a small % at a time not to stall the plants.

Very nice grow. Looks very well built and your plants should benefit for a long time. Maybe I missed it, but are you in the trades?
nope
increased airflow handles that.
thanx for dropping in. what u mean "trades?"

Looks like u left the price tag on that fence. lol
I used to do exactly the same fencing donut ur doing. Cant wait to see how u yield off this. Ill have to look and see if I can find it, but r u running 2 600's and how many plants around that 5?
ok found there is 6 plants it looks like.
