Moon and plants are a normal happening. Photo Period Plants have evolved to adapt to the light of the moon, and not stop the maturation process, though in some places like Vietnam/South East Asia, plants have been known to live a couple/season by revjuve.
I often refer to the Farmers Almanac as my guide to planting. And it does make sense.
For seed crops like weed, the seeds are planted when the moon is dark, and by the time the seeds have germinated, the moon will just start to be showing itself, and becoming brighter by the day, and after is peak, will still be light until a new moon again.
My theory is the light of the moon helps keep the plants growing to a certain amount, call it a response, vs if one would plant when the moon is bright ect, and then the seedling would never see the extra light of the moon vs if one had planted when the moon was dark.
Also the brightness of the moon, and the slower regression of time outside vs inside where it can go from 24 hours to 12 hours over night, gives one heck of a flowering response, vs losing only seconds a day outside.
Its possible a light source inside equal to that of the moon, and the same Kelvin, may prolong flowering.
Ive also read even some plants that are sensitive can Hermi from the brightness of the moon, but not necessarily as a rule. Nothing is 100%
Main thing is the Moonlight Simulation inside has to be like the moon in every way, or one risks muck up.
