I have a whole bunch of questions for you... but I am running out the door.

Your idea of opening the stomata with water + K, sounds interesting.

As I read your article, it kept ringing in my head the NutraMist.
Have you seen those?

Their water "mist" is produced by ultrasonics, so the droplette size is reduced to constitute "dry fog" (as opposed to "wet". Wet would be if you put your hand to the mist and it gets wet. Dry, inverse.)

That little machine might help you with your idea.

The other thing I thought about was the "SonicBloom" products.
It is a classical music CD, that has various high-frequency wave forms, and noises from "happy healthy insects". Birds, insects, crickets. Cool stuff!
It "stimulates" the plants to open up their stomata, thus helping the transpiration.

Anyway, will re-read, and post up them questions!

Thanks!

Best,

I looked into the nutramist and it looks ideal the problem is with the price tag. $400 is a bit much. I'm going to see if I can find something similar.

I don't think that wet would be horrible so long as the particles were fine enough.

I'd like to get a microscope or something to monitor the stomata and possible measure it with and without a very weak potassium water mixture.

This will probably take a while but I'm sure we can benefit somehow by manipulation of the stomata.

Let me know your questions. I'd really like alot of feedback/input. We manipulate the plant by ways of training, light, and feeding to recreate a naturally occuring enviorment.

I don't see why we can't train plants on a micro level as well to get even greater benefits out of it.

If nothing else I'll learn alot. :thumbsup:
daihashi Reviewed by daihashi on . How the stomata works and how it can help us. The stomata are pores on the underside of leaves. These pores are made be cells called Guard Cells or "parenchyma cells" which are used to regulate the size of the opening of the stomata. The stomata is used to collect carbon and dioxide and other beneficial nutrients and gases that aid the plant in growth. The stomata is also used in transpiration of water from the plant into the atmosphere. In order for plants to take up CO2 for photosynthesis, they must expose the moist surfaces of Rating: 5
