These are excerpts from several articles I read. Or parts of articles that have been put into my own writing.

Another research article stated the following:

changes in stomatal aperture caused by decreasing or increasing humidity were followed only after a delay by changes in the potassium content of the guard cells. By comparison, if stomatal movements occurred in response to changes in illumination the relative potassium content of the guard cells correlated continuously with the changes in stomatal aperture. Since the potassium content of the guard cells changed only after most of the stomatal movements in response to changes in humidity were completed changes in potassium content and humidity responses of stomata can be described as following a hysteresis curve.


With that said I am curious if we can manipulate stomata opening and closing by spraying a very fine mist (almost atomized) of PH'd water with a very small amount of potassium.

This would increase humidity, add rigidty (through potassium uptake)to the Guard cells which would in turn keep the stomata open longer. This would of course also increase the transpiration rate but as long as you stay on top of watering I think everything should be fine.

It was also interesting to read that the stomata opens much better under blue wavelength light than it does under red.

I know there are products such as liquid light that do something similar but I was curious as to how/why it worked and if there is something similar we can do on our own much cheaper.

I decided to start researching the stomata.

I'll continue to update this thread as I come across more information.

Sorry if this was widely known information; just thought I could contribute something to those who were not aware.
