Yesterday (12/29/16) I began to bend the small fan leaves including tiny suckers. I've done so again today for every plant. I bend both fan leaves equallyand hold for about 5 seconds. I do this until the plant looks flat on top. It is a technique I use for my tomatoe plants. Any suggestions ???? Germination started 12/10/16. DWC 3 gallon. 2x 150 watt HPS.
Request photos if you must. Thanks for the response. I have used a method where I create a small bend push the bend up slightly with minimal force creating an oval so the stem holding the leaf doesn't snap. I then lightly push the leaf downward to create a slight pressure. I hold that for about 5 seconds then let go. By doing this I get an idea of how strong the stems holding the leaf are. I also strengthen it. My question is though, will it help promote leaf growth ?
