Water and nutrients definitely move through the plant night and day hyzer,not so sure about it leaving the plant back into the soil though,ive always been under the impression that it traveled up into the plant at night not down and out.
One could conclude that since a plant doesn't need to transpire at night, there is no need for the exylem to pull sap through the plant at night. Not saying it stops 100%, but it's obvious a plant doesn't need as much water at night as it does during the day.
@hyzerflip - can you add anything to the conversation other than skeptical posts? I would love to hear a counter argument for my own learning. What do you disagree with?

First off, thank you. I am in no way taking anything personal. I find the best way to learn is to compare notes with others, and question things that seem untrue. So, I in fact appreciate your questions. I didn't mean anything negative to you.
Second. Your right. When I said, "during the dark cycle plants let the water and nutrients from inside the plant travel to the root system. When the lights turn on, they pull this back out of the soil into the plant." I wasn't totally explaining everything correctly, and that was because I didn't think it was needed for the OP.
Third. Doesn't mean what I said isn't true. Plants don't need as much water at night as they do during the day. We have talked about how plant transpire through the leafs, and that is mostly needed during the day. We have also talked about the vascular system in which nutrients flow through a plant. This system is more active during the day with both water intake and nutrient intake, aka sap.
I still don't see where I haven't backed my original statement up with facts. Is there a specific part of my explanation that lacks facts or is in need of a better explanation? Maybe we should ask our resident physiologist here at the farm to chime in?
That's a mean looking s o b spider kyour on point with your grow plants laugh off some stress ......
but others with stress from the start, bug damage might be another leg down. this plant laughs at the bugs ..... no yellowing ...... just keep on trucking .......
