Most folks would see this as an opportunity to discuss. Some take it as an insult.

Ms Chalker-Scott's statement that "Though a few articles claim lunar effect on some plant attribute or another, there is no cohesive connection among these papers, and in fact most of the articles strongly refute any such effect." doesn't seem very ambiguous to me. But it is a summary of other papers published on the subject and not nearly as informative as having the actual studies in front of us to see what was debunked, what was plausible. But I've seen nothing on the web negative of her papers, and she has nothing to gain by presenting one opinion or another, so I am willing to give a much higher degree of credibility than someone selling a book with 'handy' charts.

crabbyback: How does horticulture not apply to growing cannbis? Cannabis is a plant, and has to follow certain biological processes. Minor differences in climatic and nutritional needs, but as I've heard before..."it's a class-c plant".
Sorry for being unclear. I meant horticultural sites that don't cater exclusively to MJ growers but I guess that doesn't make sense either.
