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.they are praying for more light
Nope, there is something in sunlight that artificial light cannot replicate.growing towards the light.
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. cnNope, there is something in sunlight that artificial light cannot replicate.
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.I'm curious as to why you think this only happens under natural sunlight. I'm running a 400w hps and I see it all the time.
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.I'm curious as to why you think this only happens under natural sunlight.

At that point the issue will change from prayer to sacrifice ... cnDitto with Mistik on this one, the process is called phototropism and as far as I know every plant does it.

...oh it tries so hard, but I never let it.At that point the issue will change from prayer to sacrifice ... cn
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.The plant is doing it has nothing to do with the light source.Its angling its receptors toward the light just as we place solar panels for optimum absorption so does the plant.
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. cnThen 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.

There are no lights that can replicate the real thing, there's just something there we can't produce.
