Michael Alden talks about "Praying Leaves" in Cannabis.

I had speculated in a recent post that praying leaves might be related to light levels (ppfd) being too high because of something recent in my garden. Michael explains though what the real cause of it is and how you can "fix it." I will say that I made some changes in air flow in my setup and the leaves flattened back out! Stay tuned for my entire podcast with Michael, where he shares his research at Clemson University on photoperiod and other interesting topics. Keep in mind this is one of many explanations for this phenomenon. Michael shares some more thoughts below: On this question of leaves praying, there's a range of environments that can lead to an angled rather than planar leaf position. Some species hardly ever change their leaf angle, unless under drought stress where they wilt and leaves droop (downward angle). Others are more flexible and adapt to their environment. One explanation might be that the leaves are angled higher to improve air flow and lower boundary layers near stomata to increase transpiration rates. Another explanation could be light quality- low Red:Far Red perception induces shade avoidance responses and angled leaves can capture light better at high plant densities (think maize, wheat, and rice). A third explanation could be that this is cultivar dependent and some cannabis cvrs do this while others don't. It would be really cool for someone to document this with pictures in a range of cultivars for a given growing area/facility.
