Do you think indoor plants know its winter?

[wakeNbaker46]

Can a plant ‘know’ anything? To know something implies the ability to think. The way a plant thinks compared to how i think is something i think i’m not capable of thinking about. I think.

i LOVE discussing consciousness, what it means to be sentient, does "thinking" = consciousness; does consciousness mean something is of greater value; who is measuring all of this and by what parameters...etc...

I find winter crops are the best indoor grows, if cold is an issue just crank your lights and co2 higher. No RH spikes less bug trying to eat your plants

Plus you can hang out in there and be nice and toasty toasted

Just to note because im.getting replies saying to change temp or humidity.

I just want everyone to know that I figured when i said I have my grow environment the same. Meaning that my Temps and RH are as dialed in as physically possible following vpd charts and late in flower drops in RH using humidifiers and dehumidifiers.

On another note I grow mostly chem/ OG heavy strains. Finicky is an understatement.

Not that I know anything about anything, but ..... could it be some other variable? For example, in order to keep RH and temp dialed in, is there an increase/decrease in anything else? Air movement, soil composition, handling plants differently?

....and I literally know almost nothing about cultivation.

I did wonder if my first (potted) plant would have been more productive if it wasn't being moved around all the time out of shade to sunny locations as the sun moved.... in and out of a greenhouse.... soil was different , etc.

Oh boy..... I'm going to have to read "doors of perception" again....

This makes sense if you got to run a humidifier extra moisture would seep into the soil diluting feed. Turn down your exhaust to retain heat less air flow.

Things with roots are not ment to be moved. I would not be worried about short distance in the "same" environment.

Thinking doesn't require conscious thought. Most processes in the human body are done chemically without thought. Plants don't think, but they definitely react. After my heart transplant, I have no connection from my brain to the new heart. Electrically anyways. I had to train my body to function using only chemical messages to the new unit. I think that's how plants think. Hormones and chemicals.

You know those lady talk to each other in there.

Plant 1: morning Carol
Plant 2: morning Mary Jane
Plant 1: cold one out there today, huh hun?
Plant 2: yah you betcha. Feel the breeze right through the laves dontcha know!
Plant 1: yaaah
Plant 2: yaaaaaah

I read that in a Wisconsin accent

I would say in order to keep rh perfect in summer it is like fighting a battle with the A/C because of the heat it gives off. but the dehumidifier and the heater seem to work in tandem.

There's deffinantly cold and hot breezes in the summer ( indirect) maybe this tricks plants in some way.

Like I said , I control the environment to the same specs all year.

Unless you think maybe cold radiates off the walls in general no matter if it's same Temps or not. It's a fairly new house only a little over 10 years old so I can't say I ever feel the insulation lacking.

Are the root temps the same though?
What about the water temp?

Pretty much a constant 75 and 75

i've read books about lunar cycles and gravitational pull, and authors pointed out that cultures throughout time have planted, harvested, propagated, fertilized plants based on waxing/waning/full/new moons. and then obviously during winter months there are other factors in play wrt the position of the earth in relation to the sun... i think it's possible, in fact highly likely, that there are patterns and cycles that all plants follow that we will never know about since we are a completely different kingdom of creatures. i actually quite like that.

I know a guy that plants during certain moon cycles, says that is the way it should be done. I’ve noticed the same in the winter grows. Winter is slow veg in my area. NNY here

In my demetry experiences if I look close there’s these tiny “gnomes” that build reality, it looks like they stack one molecule at a time to create everything. At times I’ve focused on them going to work inside my body and head repairing things. If you’ve never experienced this will sound nutty, if you experienced you’ll understand.

Once on shrooms I entered my blood stream at a somewhat molecular level and traveled through my body,organs, veins etc. It was cool but I often wonder if it was authentic and true or something in my subconscious memories planted there by a movie or television.Being able to see others thoughts which is basically what a movie or tv show can be,has to have some sort of formative effect on our true thoughts, much more amplified i feel than reading or listening to the thoughts of another.

Plants respond to stimuli. If they respond to the gravitational pull of the moon, that's just another stimuli. If that response becomes stronger or weaker over many generations, that's survival, breeding, evolution.

Plants lack a brain and nerve system so I'm going with, no, plants don't think, they respond.
