I have a plant that has a sizeable fan on it, since it started as a sprout, i have had this fan on it. i originally knew that if i put a fan on my plant, it would cause the plant to grow in a way that would help it protect itself from the wind, ie.. a thicker stem. then i began to think about the growth of the plant early on. so my fan has 3 settings, high medium and low, and i basically used then as a work out for the plant. thinking that when the plant had built up a resistance to a certain speed, that a lower speed would allow the plant to use the growing power in areas other than the stem, say just overall vegetative growth. for example i would put the fan on 3, which was a considerable anount of wind, actually to much, so i canted the fan so that it wouldnt beat it. and left it like that for a week, after that week, i lowered it to 1, and then to 2 the following week. now i am at the point to where the plant has had 3 weeks of some intense wind. and it has been resting for about 2 weeks, and it has just gone bezerk in growth. Is this possible? or is the plant growing from some other aspect? i used the correct soil mixture, and only use water and superthrive. i also found that the plant responded aswell to water on the leaves during the wind, like weight training almost. well i was wondering if anyone does this or is this common knowledge to create growth spurts?
