Good morning Lady Cannafan. Your extra praying plant reminded me of a conversation I had with
@Maritimer a while back about similar things. Here's a note and it looks promising far as I can see!
"MeJA study update;
After 24 hours the foliar elicitor has already affected pistillate size and populations. As expected the turgid LWA has now jumped up to full shade avoidance mode. They call it phototropism I think. To me it is shade avoidance. LOL The treatment was applied earlier in the flowering cycle of day 30 verses 40 in attempt to capture more of the period of flower development.
Fingers are anxiously crossed. I like what I am seeing.
I got pics because I was excited, but I will grab better after lights out.
Tickled Pink just thinking..."
So your plant may be making crazy amounts of trichomes and is in + a state of shade avoidance? Just a thought.
