OUR LATEST SUPER MOON. DID YOU SEE IT?

our 2016 November super moon

Comparing a super moon with a normal full moon.

The full moon of November 14, 2016 is not only the biggest, closest and brightest supermoon of this year. It’s the closest supermoon since January 26, 1948. The full moon of November 14, 2016 is not only the biggest, closest and brightest supermoon of this year. It’s the closest supermoon since January 26, 1948 and the next will be in 18 years time in 2032
 a supermoon will be appear to be as much as 30 percent brighter and 14 percent larger than a apogee full moon.
Are plants affected by the moon? What do you think?
The following article is convincing’

The Moon does affect germination
When the Moon is waxing, or becoming fuller, plants develop leaves and above-ground systems. It is ideal to plant crops that develop above the ground, like corn, during a waxing moon. A waning moon is when plants grow root systems.
Seeds sown just before or around the full moon have a higher rate and speed of germination than those sown at the new moon because seeds are able to absorb more water at the full moon. Studies show a difference in yield by up to 45% for crops sown in the corresponding phase and sign of the moon.
 
The Moon also affects plant growth
Plants grow in spurts, just like people. They go through cycles of rest and production. Time these correctly for ideal growth management.
Watering plants during the waxing moon gives better absorption, so water down nutrients during this time, to avoid nutrient burn. If they have a deficiency, especially phosphorus, this is the perfect time to give them a nutrient boost.
Potassium is absorbed better at a new moon, and pruning is less stressful on plants at this time. If you have a bug problem, spraying with organic pest sprays during a waning moon in a sign other than Water/Leaf will have the best effect on the pests while minimizing any damage to plants, especially absorption of smell during flowering.
Transplanting and cloning should be done during an Earth/Root sign in the waning moon, to stimulate root growth and recovery.
 
The Moon also affects harvesting
You can speed up drying and curing times by harvesting in a new moon, when water content in a plant is at its lowest. The flush of nutrients before harvest should be done 2 weeks prior, during the waxing moon, in an Earth/Root sign, for maximum absorption.
aking the time to make a grow calendar based on the Moon can take very little time, and could increase the yield of your grow substantially. Everything you would be doing is the same, only now you will know exactly when to do it, whether for a short grow, or a full season grow. Doing this repeatedly, and making notes, you will see significant differences in your yield. Don’t forget, it doesn’t matter if your grow is indoors or outdoors, the moon will still affect it. It will also affect the behavior of common garden pests!
While many people, especially in Western culture may dismiss the Moon and Zodiac as bored fancies of ancient shepherds, or worse, evil pagan practices, the truth is they have measurable effects on both nature, weather, and animal physiology.
