Tacoing/Canoeing of leaves.
    #328996 - 12/09/09 07:40 PM (14 years, 3 months ago)

So I was searching around the internet and came up with a thread that was claiming that having too intense of a light can cause this.  Which considering I moved my light closer to the plants last night and then today one of the plants was exhibiting this, I thought maybe it could be true. 

Temps are fine in the room 75.  RH is a bit low at 20, and pH is 6.5.  They are just over 4 weeks old now, under 1000 watts of MH in Ocean Forest soil.  Transplanted 1 week ago.


What are every ones thoughts on this?  Sound like a sufficient explanation to you guys??

It IS true.

Standard light intensity problem.

If you bring plants outside from inside they will exhibit this in the first week, that's why hardening is NECESSARY.

No myth to it.  It's a pure fact, and the only reason I've ever seen my leaves act that way.  They unfold after an hour or two if lighting is reduced.

BTW it's the plants natural defense mechanism to light, when they are folded like that, they do not absorb nearly as much light and it's less damaging to the plant.  Just some info for ya.
