    1. Plants undergo photosynthesis during the day, absorbing carbon dioxide from the air through their leaves and converting it into glucose along with water and sunlight. They store this glucose for energy and release oxygen as a byproduct. 2. At night, the process reverses and plants absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide, using the stored glucose for energy to grow. 3. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants capture light energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy stored in glucose, combining carbon from carbon dioxide with hydrogen and oxygen from water.

    VOLUME 1: INDOOR GARDENING FOUNDATION Talking Plants

    By Day
    Plants do three main
    things: their leaves ab-
    sorb sunlight and carbon
    dioxide (CO2) from the air,
    and their roots drink
    water containing dissolved mineral salts.
    This tri-fold process (called photosyn-
    INFOSHEET 10501: thesis) results in the formation of glucose
    inside the plant. This glucose is stored as
    fuel for growing and blooming. Plants also
    expel oxygen (O2) as a by-product of this
    magical process!

    Plant Physiology By Day


    At night (or when your
    grow lights are off) the
    opposite happens. Plants
    absorb oxygen and expel
    Talking PlantsBasic Concepts and carbon dioxide. This intake
    Terminology of oxygen triggers the release of the stored
    glucose giving the plant the energy it needs
    to grow leaves, stem, flowers, fruit, and roots.

    Understanding Plants:
    Three Special Things
    1. They photosynthesize. Plants capture
    light energy and use it to create organic
    materials such as leaves, stem, buds, flowers,
    and fruit. They achieve this by combining car-
    bon from the air (in the form of carbon diox-
    ide) with hydrogen and oxygen from water to
    produce carbohydrates (plant fuel!) and oxy-
    gen. Crucially, it's the energy from the light
    that drives this process.

    2. They can grow to an indeterminate


    size. Whereas the size of animals or
    mammals is largely determined by genetics,
    plants can grow to become incredibly large
    if the environment is right. The sky is liter-
    ally the limit with many plant species. When
    growing indoors it's essential that growers
    adapt the growing environment to send the
    right cues to their plants (i.e. to grow stems
    and leaves or to produce flowers and fruit.)
    Introduction
    3. They stay put! It may sound obvious but,
    once rooted, plants are anchored in place.
    An understanding of a plant as a living system is the foundation As immobile organisms they have adapted

    themselves in. When growing containerized
    observing their development, and responding appropriately to
    plants be aware that it's easy to 'shock' your

    A plants leaves contain millions of tiny light converters called chloroplasts. Pro Tools
    These microscopic bio-factories convert light energy into a form of chemical
    energy that is then used to power other essential plant processes. During the
    daytime a plant absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (the carbon is EcoPlus Digital Thermometer /
    used as a building block to create more plant matter) and emits oxygen as a by- Hygrometer
    product. This process reverses at night (plants absorb oxygen and emit carbon
    dioxide.) These gas exchanges occur through tiny holes in the leaf surface called Sun System Light Meter

    Stomata are also the site of transpiration. This is the process where a plant
    loses water to the surrounding atmospherelike evaporation. Stomata open EcoPlus Pressurized Spray Bottle
    and close to regulate how much moisture is given up to the atmosphere. If Bug Screens (for incoming air)
    conditions are hot and dry the stomata will close to protect the plantthis, in
    turn, has a direct effect on gaseous exchange and, thus, the amount of carbon
    available to the plant in order to grow and develop.
