So i was wondering if you could simulate the cycle of the moon if it would have any positive effects?

I don't know about the effect. But you could simulate the cycle of the moon very easy.

all you need is a low watt bulb. (maybe an old xmass light)
a timer you can program
and a voltage regulator so you can dim as it goes from full to new moon then bask up as it gose from new to full.

All on a 28 day cycle.

I read somewhere that the moon light produces .2 lumens per sq ft during a full moon. So half that for half moon, (it'd be the square of .2 right?)

i'm baked~

I wonder what Kelvin it is? Its the reflection of the sun, so maybe you could just do the same as the veg cycle just a lot less of them?

And I thought I was high

But seriously, never thought of that, its outside the box and that I like.

If you are looking to benefit from the phases of the moon, I believe the forces of the moon's effect on the earth are in effect even indoors. I believe it's gravitational.

+rep Johnny!
Is that Johnny Bench by chance?
That is real interesting. I didn't read it all but skimmed through the first bit that was talking about the gravitational pull and what not.
So now this is the ? i pose;
If you are an indoor gardener, as i and Randy are, and you were able to figure the lumen situation, i wonder if you simulated the light to the actual moon phase outside if it would be benificial?

My avatar is Ty Cobb. The greatest ballplayer in baseball history.

The signature picture is the 1972 Topps Billy Martin baseball card where he's flipping the bird at the photographer.

Johnny Bench was a great player without question.

I am currently an indoor dude myself. It seems to me moonlight is very weak lumen-wise. I can't remember where I read it, but a rule of thumb for light leakage during 12/12 should be no stronger than moonlight. That suggests to me that light is not the answer, it's the gravitational effect.

Were you to attempt this, finding a weak-wattage bulb would not be a problem. The problem would lie in calculating the differing amount of light released daily to correspond with the phases of the moon.

It's an interesting thought, but I think it's probably overkill.

Ty Cobb was a viscious base stealer. If I smoked a bowl for every 2nd baseman he tackled, I'd be pretty high right now

I mixed some homogenized milk and some pasteurized milk. i dipped my cookie in it and the shit blew up

does any one know the color temp of the moon?
