Hey Pack... can we get a summary here?
-
As of today ICMag has his own Discord server. In this Discord server you can chat, talk with eachother, listen to music, share stories and pictures...and much more. Join now and let's grow together! Join ICMag Discord here! More details in this thread here: here.
ill say one thing.....light leaks suck ass!...and ive got male flowers on everything that scientifically prove that light leaks do indeed suck ass.
..got a busy day tomorrow sealing the bastards up!
Some really great info here though guys,....thanks

That was the summary Maistre.. 
..hehe..hey, don't make me get in to refraction and dispersion again did that on my thread.
Basically the moon isn't bright enough generally from the earths propective to confuse or elongate the photoperiod of the plant IMHO. The moon has all the spectrum of the son to start with, toned down by the grey surface, but has to pass though the atmosphere to get here and many things can happen to it on the way, it depends on the angle of the reflection(new, quarter, full, etc) to the amount of brightness and the junk in the air.
If you were on the moon a whole different set of problems would occur beyond oxygen, no atmosphere to filter light. In fact some space groups have a contest going on to find the best way to grow plants on the moon.
The bottom bottom line: Moon isn't bright enough to do anything to the plants, if you are growing on mother earth. Maybe, just maybe some strains grown over and over in an indoor environment is genetically altered changing this. I have no idea, I just don't know that much about plant genetics, as many of you here do.

Super bottom bottom line: Light leaks suck ass!(Professor of Cannabis, Harry Gypsna). Why can't I just summarize like that.
GMT, I think it goes back to what you said earlier about common house lights not being a factor. If the light source is an ideal growing spectrum, intensity level will be a factor at a certain level(Caprichoso's post about the experiment). If the light is not of ideal origin, much much more could be tolerated. I think it comes down to photosynthesis being generated, but at what level will the plant believe it's photoperiod has ended. Which might just have to do with the plants genetics and efficiency. Most reptiles can't see at all in moonlight, but you can. So in a plant way the question is, can it see the light? These are just my observations, in no way am I absolutely sure about this, but it makes sense to me. The light stuff is based on known science and quantum physics. Hopefully that clarifies what I was trying to say, I thought Harry's statement was funny..that's all. To me the book is still open on the whole male, female, hermie vs light/photoperiod thing. A lot of different ideas pop up about what exactly influences or doesn't influence sex, and I don't have enough info or experience to form an opinion yet.

So then its very lucky that the upstairs neighbour kitchen light has a very low intensity.
Although this low intensity does cause the bottom branches to bud first.

Why would lower brancehs but first if they have MORE light.. like still vegging...?

I don't know... Does anyone know what would happen if you isolated one branch continuing under say 18/6 and the rest of the plant at 12/12? How would the plant react?
Would the plant flower or stay in veg?
Would the 1 branch just be slower?
Would it just flower slower?
Or would the 1 branch veg while the rest of the plant flowered?
I have no idea...just guessing the plant as a whole would consider the photoperiod shortened, flower slightly later/shorter , but the 1 branch would flower even slower/later like Ronleys post. Just guessing, what do you all think?

I was wondering about lightning,and if that would cause a plant to hermie?

I have read a lot of that. Branches are indipendent.
That can't be done. Only this way, that you have your plant on 18/6 and you cover one branch with somtheing light resist. So the branch gets 12/12. Than only one branch would start to flower. Rest of the plant would stay in veg. 100%
