How do you know if a plant has High Turgor pressure ? Is it a good thing or no ?

Reason i'm asking is my 1844 Holub vines last year would stand 4ft high always. It was very hard to get to lay down,Is this a sign of high turgor pressure ? Thank you

Could be genetics...

Could be too much nitrogen.

Both greenhouses were amended the same and the same ferts were used . The 2145 plant in the other greenhouse didn't show these characteristics at all so that is why i didn't think it was a nitrogen issue

Just my own observation... Squash seem a bit less disciplined in their vine/leaf growth habits. In my experience they may have more auxins or something genetically where they seem to like growing their vines and foliage a bit more than pumpkin plants and it's a bit harder to get them to transition into the fruit-fill stage. They seem like the want to be vegetatively dominant.

The 2009 w thats in that genetic line tends to grow with those cobra vine tips.So my guess would be genetics.

Definitely think turgor pressure is a trick we're all missing when it comes to water management of our plants. Theres meters out there that measure it, only thing is they cost a fair bit.

My vines would (always)stand up after using 5-1-1 fish. What a huge difference Nitrogen makes .
