@duder: I will respond in two separate posts.
True. I had read this in your earlier post...
..and assumed you were thinking of the moon's gravity ( which is the explanation usually offered ) but now I see you refer to the waxing and waning
of the moon which has nothing to do with the distance of the Moon from the Earth. Perhaps you had some other cause in mind?
You refer to the "full spectrum of effects". Apart from gravity and moonlight (and this is an indoor grow) what else is there? Well I suppose the
MJ plant might have evolved to tune it's some of it's behavior to the phases of the moonlike a menstrual cycle. So the 'effect' is now coded into
their DNA. Might could possibly be. But where is the evidence for this?
And this really puzzles me...
...How can there be "positive correlative evidence to suggest that... there ARE benefits from growing in phase with moon ..." without observeable results? Surely if there is evidence of a beneficial correlation, then the plants are growing better in some way? Otherwise how could you possibly know that it works? And if the plants do grow better, this would be empirical data.
Perhaps you would like to respond to these points before I discuss your claims of supporting data in a second post. OTH people might feel that this has gone far enough and we should stop hijacking the thread.
