    Default The Importance Of Leaves.

    There seems to be a lot of confusion when it comes to the leaves on your plants, hopefully this brief guide will show how important leaves are and the job that they do...

    Like most plants, Cannabis grows leaves from the moment it appears from the soil, the leaves have a vital job...

    Photosynthesis - Simply explained, photosynthesis is the process by which plants and few other organisms use to transform light energy into chemical energy.
    Plants get their green color from the chlorophyll found inside the leaf cells, plants use this chlorophyll to collect the energy from the sun rays to create the food they need.





    The Leaf - If you were to examine a leaf from your plant under a microscope you will see many tiny cells and holes (see below), these allow for light and (CO2) to be absorbed from the environment. Through the process of photosynthesis this light is then converted into sugars and various other compounds which then travels down the leaf stem and feeds the plant.



    So in summary...
    Leaves are essential for the well-being of your plant. It's the leaves that take in the light, NOT the buds.... If you remove the leaves you are restricting the photosynthesis process and basically slowing down the growth and affecting the health of the plant.
    When the leaves have done their job they will eventually turn yellow/brown and will drop of naturally.

    So DON'T pick them off!
