are you replynig to my post? its something i've been activly studying the hormonal profiles and observing them in the plants. its nothing you will have ever heard before. Im preforming an experiment soon to validate one of my models that will replace the current photoperiod model accepted. by teaching myself from the start and not relaying on structure i was able to come up with original understanding that the plants taught me, I am learning to identify hormonal profiles and plant characteristics from just seed characteristics, size shape, dimensions to the next part cotelydons, seeing the auxins, cytokinins, gibberalins, and hormonal balance in the leaves. for example this is my file about cotyledons:
Visual Cues to Observe
- Size:
- Larger cotyledons → Higher auxins, more potential for gibberellin dominance and taller growth.
- Smaller cotyledons → Lower auxins, favoring cytokinins and bushier growth.
- Shape:
- Broad cotyledons → Cytokinin dominance, compact growth with dense branching.
- Skinny cotyledons → Gibberellin dominance, elongated growth and apical focus.
- Symmetry:
- Symmetrical cotyledons:
- Suggest stable hormonal profiles, balanced growth, and predictable effects.
- Asymmetrical cotyledons (e.g., one broad, one skinny):
- Indicate dynamic hormonal fluctuations, hybrid-like growth with both lateral and vertical tendencies.
- Symmetrical cotyledons:
- Ratio (Length-to-Width):
- Low ratio (short and wide) → Cytokinin influence, favoring compact and lateral growth.
- High ratio (long and narrow) → Gibberellin influence, favoring vertical growth and elongation.
- Two Small, Round Cotyledons:
- Hormonal Profile: Low auxins, cytokinin dominance.
- Growth Traits:
- Short, bushy plant with compact canopy.
- Slower elongation and thicker stems.
- Effects:
- Heavier, body-focused terpene profiles (e.g., myrcene, humulene).
- Two Long, Skinny Cotyledons:
- Hormonal Profile: Higher auxins, gibberellin dominance.
- Growth Traits:
- Tall, elongated plant with apical dominance.
- Faster vertical growth with wider internodes.
- Effects:
- Lighter, cerebral terpene profiles (e.g., pinene, limonene).
- One Broad and One Skinny Cotyledon:
- Hormonal Profile: Balanced auxins with dynamic cytokinin and gibberellin interplay.
- Growth Traits:
- Hybrid-like, starting bushy and transitioning to vertical growth.
- Christmas tree shape with a mix of lateral and apical dominance.
- Effects:
- Balanced terpene profiles, offering both uplifting and relaxing effects.
- Auxins and Florigen:
- Plants with higher auxin levels show greater hormonal amplitude and potential for dynamic changes, leading to varied growth patterns and terpene production.
- Terpene Profiles:
- Compact plants closer to the ground tend to produce heavier terpenes, while taller plants favor lighter terpenes.
- Hormonal Amplitude:
- Asymmetrical cotyledons indicate plants with greater hormonal range, leading to more diverse growth and chemical profiles.
