Moon phases outdoors does it actually make a difference ?

[Balarama]

All of this is pointless if we want to talk about moon phases, so off topic.
Also formalism has nothing to do about it, I'm not a philospher, i'm a physicist.
I suggest you look at a tidal curve for any day and try to make sense how it translates to gravity and plant response to it.
There is no such corellation to be observed and no philosophy can change that. Neighter can people who believe in Steiner's or other ideas on how the world works.

Oh I see, your embarrassed and agitated after reading about the experiment done on the ISS so the issue is off topic now. OK that's fine by me but you shouldn't be. Even a great physicist like yourself can't keep up with every experiment.
Have a good day and thank you for your contribution.

Your judgment is very poor if you make such conclusions.
Are you an internet shrink to know my feelings? Pretty pathetic behaviour if you ask me.

To stay on topic, comparing plant growth in two so different environments in terms of gravity(earth vs microgravity) to plant response in tidal fluctuations on earth(unnoticable except for tides and with special measuring devices) is plainly wrong. I'm sure you can see the scale difference here, if not we(you) have a problem.
If you still want to talk about this topic(and be taken seriously) i suggest you adjust your attitude.

 

[Non Locality]

OK please take me seriously, and I beg your forgiveness.

Now do you have any evidence to support your claims?

 

[Balarama]

No need for drama.

Which claims are you refering to exactly?
I hope you don't expect me to disprove something which has no proof, that would be illogical.
To get an idea of my thoughts you can re-read the thread, including the title.

Maybe it also affects plant metabolism on a larger level, can't say. But that's just about light, not gravity or other effects.

I think it may be best to go at it one at a time for you. I suggest you start with the last sentence.

What's to prove here?
Cannabis metabolism is influenced by light, we all know this. What we don't know is how exactly does it work.
The basic question is "does moonlight affect the onset of flowering in the transition period?".
I'm not basing anything on my limited experience but logic says at full moon and fuller phases in clear nights(also medium cloudy) there's not complete darkness so probably some delays in flower onset can be expected. If growing was legal I'm sure there would be already lots of valid reserch done on this matter.
But there isn't much research(if any), so we cannot make a valid conclusion.
Other effects like tides should be researched indeed, but until there's at least a little bit of proper data, any statement regarding these supposed effects is speculation without basis. Or belief, depends on how you look at it.

Next please.

There is no basic question. You either understand it or don't. Here is the actual quesopinion

Im wondering if any outdoor growers out there have done a grow journal that shows planting by the moon phases actually increases yield , potency , pest control ect.

I answered with my opinion and then posted studies relevant to the question of the OP. Want some more citations from real experts?

What sources have you cited but your own? As a physicist you should know your incessant pushing of opinion should be left to the Jr. High science class.
I posted two or three studies. Disprove them, not me. You're the scientist are they falsifiable or not? It's that simple. Everyone reading sees a real scientist who has lots of opinion but can not falsify any study put forth. Instead you insist on attacking someone whom you know nothing of.

Disprove the theory, not me.
Or you can continue to spout off at the mouth for my amusement.

 

[Balarama]

What baffles me is the supposed connection between the studies you cited and the question of OP.
I don't see one, you say you do but don't stretch to explain it.

Please do this and leave all your personal ballast out of this thread.
