Traditionally, most growers change their plants lighting cycle to 12 hours on and 12 hours off since this works as a happy medium to which most strains respond well. This change in photoperiod mimics the plant's natural outdoor cycle, with up to 18 hours of light per day in the summer and down to less than 12 hours of light in fall and winter.
The blistering summer of 2024 will soon be coming to an end, and that means fall leaf peeping can't be far behind. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, leaves can change their color from as ...
With fall upon us and the leaves changing color and falling to the ground, the age-old question arises: Should I rake my leaves?
Fall foliage peak times in the United States. According to the coevolution theory, [15] the colors are warning signals to insects like aphids that use trees as a host for the winter. If the colors are linked to the amount of chemical defenses against insects, then the insects will avoid red leaves and increase their fitness; at the same time ...
Plant senescence is the process of aging in plants. Plants have both stress-induced and age-related developmental aging. [1] Chlorophyll degradation during leaf senescence reveals the carotenoids, such as anthocyanin and xanthophylls, which are the cause of autumn leaf color in deciduous trees.
The cannabis industry's reliance on low-quality weed enrages old-style farmers such as Mary Gaterud, who nurtures her sun-grown plants on a Humboldt County farmstead that has been her principal ...
This causes the cells of the abscission zone to break apart and the leaf or other plant part to fall off. [6] Another way detachment occurs is through imbibition of water. [ 6 ] The plant cells at the abscission zone will take in a large amount of water, swell, and eventually burst, making the organ fall off. [ 6 ]
Leaves falling is natural–it's part of the cycle. Unlike the forest floor, where leaves decompose and put nutrients back into the soil, leaves piling up and breaking down can harm your turf.
