Why Do Plants Pray?

Nope, they are under 42W(200)6500K bulbs for an additional 12 hours. Plus, my outdoor grows do the same and I have not seen one plant here under artificial lighting that do this.

Nope, there is something in sunlight that artificial light cannot replicate.

What would that be? Sunlight is all photons. If you place a plant in a box with a good light at a low angle ... the plant will turn toward that light. cn

They get 6 hours of sun, and 12 hours under 42W(200)currently at a 2 inch height. I see no response under the CFL's that would indicate the same response rate.

This is why. I believe that full sun spectrum will out-perform any soil blends or additive products currently on the market.
Ditto with Mistik on this one, the process is called phototropism and as far as I know every plant does it. You'll not be seeing it indoors as the light is usually stationary and directly over head. The plant is not following the sun about the sky but the leaf still reach up and try to touch the light.

At that point the issue will change from prayer to sacrifice ... cn
...oh it tries so hard, but I never let it.

Then let's disprove my theory that natural sun will outperform any artificial lighting...I'll ask you to kindly re-read what I have done previously posted as per link. Those plants are currently asleep for 6 hours. If I were to move those 42W CFL's to the approximate angle of the current sun, I already know the plants will NOT respond the same...despite twice the amount of hours spent under those simulated lights.
There are no lights that can replicate the real thing, there's just something there we can't produce.

I usually refrain from flaming threads... but don't be dumb.
Your argument has holes all over it. What are you arguing?
BTW: plants stretch and turn toward the light source (proven) this is under artificial lighting and sun light. Just because your shitty little cfls don't do it doesn't mean your theory is solid. Stop arguing a moot point.

You cannot conclude that from a non-result obtained with just one sort of artificial light. To extend your argument to "any artificial light" you would have to prove absence of phototropic response to, say, RF sulfur-plasma lights. cn

Where is the connection between a plant positioning itself towards a light source. As soon as you start to train a plant indoors it starts turning and going for the light, hell i was just in my garden about an hour ago and noticed one of my plants was doing it under my 600 after i had rotated it to even out the light exposure. There is no link between plants adjusting their leaves to receive a better line of sight for light exposure and comparing the performance of outdoor light to indoor lights.
