This is a compilation of good reads for those who want to make more of their plants, by understanding them.
This Bonsay article on reducing leave size contains excellent information on how the plant works and helps begginers understand better how and why TOPing / FIMing, basically, for cannabis we need to do the oposite he does to his bonsay :P
Also has some good information on controlling the internodal space on seedlings.

The size of leaves, the length of internodes, and the thickness of twigs are related to the:
This one tells some basic information on leave morphology.

Here a good read on how a leaf grows.

And here how a plant creates a leaf from the grow tip...
https://askdruniverse.wsu.edu/2016/02/01/how-do-leaves-make-themselves/
This text about plant competition (which doesn't mention radical detection or when the roots sense via the presence of hormones and some fungi that there is other plant nearby and both plants avoid each other at root level) but which matters a lot in a grow room/tent ? or maybe not... :
One feature that affects this is whether the plant is growing near other green plants.
If a plant finds itself in competition with others, it will direct growth into leaf growth and away from reproductive growth (flowers, fruits, tubers or other storage organs). The plant can detect the presence of other plants within a metre of it by the spectrum of the light landing on its leaves. When its near neighbours are further away, it can afford to put more of its resources into reproduction.
I will add more as i find them.

The size of leaves, the length of internodes, and the thickness of twigs are related to the:
- Balance of the canopy to the root mass,
- Age and density of the roots,
- Level of fertility,
- Presence or absence of hormones,
- Level of light.
