"As little as 0.03 footcandles (FC) of red light interrupting the dark period will inhibit the anthesis of hemp." ( http://www.rexresearch.com/hhusb/hh4bot.htm#HH48 )
Which (not just) happens to be the max light a full moon gives.
Are you suggesting the light of the full moon would disrupt flowering?
Awesome read!!!"As little as 0.03 footcandles (FC) of red light interrupting the dark period will inhibit the anthesis of hemp." ( http://www.rexresearch.com/hhusb/hh4bot.htm#HH48 )

What irish said :) The full moon is the max light what cannabis had to endure during the dark period outdoors where it evolved.Are you suggesting the light of the full moon would disrupt flowering?
I agree :) Lots of interesting info. Probably not all entirely 100% accurate, perhaps some outdated, some too specific for hemp, but it's an awesome read indeed. Note that that page is just part of it, click the table of contents link at the top for much more.Awesome read!!!
So Im pretty much ok then as long as the room stays darker than a full moonlit night and no direbt beams shine on the plant?

That was the point. The moon cannot put off enough lumens to reach the base level the plants set. The moon does put off lumens just not nearly the concentration of the sun. so take that how you want mmg. it is the same reasoning. Saying the moon does not produce lumens is... well not very bright... its a significant lesser amount than the sun.The moon does NOT put off usable light for plants and does NOT disrupt their dark cycle. I read a few articles about this years ago, and although I don't remember the scientific jargon used to describe why it doesn't, I do remember it being b/c moonlight is a reflected source of light and doesn't effect plants night cycle.

Like sativied stated, the moon only puts out 0.03 Foot candles. Which is not even comparable to the sun. Mgg never stated it doesnt put out lumens just that the light it produces is not photosensitive with canna.That was the point.

You might want to re-read what I wrote. And no it doesn't "produce" lumens. It reflects light from the Sun as Little Debbie said...big difference. Thanks. MGGThat was the point.
