So if i foliar in the morning, I have to do it early enough to where the leaves are dry before the sun starts hitting the plant? Unfortunately I dont use any bug spray, the only thing i spray on my plants is Seaweed Extract only because I was told it has Growth Promoters and alot of Micronutrients. I also dont worry too much about bugs. If I see them on the plant I’ll kill them, and I’ll sprinkle cinnamon on top my soil. thats my way of IPM. lol. To me its all apart of nature outdoors. So i let the ants and gnats and other bugs do their thing. If my plants looks like they’re stressing or drying, then I’ll do something about it. but if they look like they’re doing alright then the bugs must not be doing much to the plant.
Only getting 3 hours of direct sunlight..

Buy micronized kelp and fulvic acid, plant steroids au natural. Jump jump jump! Make a spray up. %100 happy last year. Plant fuckin grow like crazy fast, kelp is fastest growing plant in world. Fulvic acid? But its good. Seaweed in the soil.

Moon lighting provides no benefit for plants. The reflected light from the sun isn't strong enough to provide any benefit.
If it did impact plants in anyway then plants wouldn't flower correctly during periods of lunar light exposure.

You’re absolutely right, moon light wont affect plants to the point where it’ll affect flowering, but I believe the gravitational pull that the moon gives off does affect plants as the moon gets to its Full Phase. i'm not sure though. It’s just something that I one day thought about and applied to my growing. I thought to myself if the moon affects the ocean and tides then it must somehow have an affect on water, which a plant is made up of 95% water.
My thinking was that from the New Moon to the Full Moon Phase the plant grows faster because the moons gravitational pull will pull the water, nutrients and growth hormones from the soil to the top of the plant. When the moon goes from Full Moon to the New Moon Phase everything gets pulled down to the soil where the roots grow faster. I dont really know but that is my theory.
Using this theory I use the moon to know when to do certain things like, when to feed, when to top/prune, when to transplant/plant. I’ll only fertilize with Roots Organic Terp Tea Grow/Bloom/plant seedlings/transplant on or just after the New Moon, I’ll feed the microbes with Roots Organic Microbe Charge/top/prune after the Full Moon Phase and on its way to the New Moon Phase since i believe thats when the growth is down in the soil and roots, which I think the plant will have less stress after topping/pruning. Also the moon tells me how old my plant is because very New Moon will be another month old.
I also incorporated using what sign the moon is in using the horoscopes. The horoscopes in the newspaper that i read tells me what to expect today or what not. So I figured my plants must have daily horoscopes too. lol I use the signs, Water, Earth, Air, and Fire. which ever sign the moon is in it tells me what needs to be done. To me Fire must not be a good sign so i dont do anything if the moon is in the Fire sign. I fertilize when its in the Water sign because its Water. lol I plant/transplant/feed microbes when its in the Earth sign. I figured its has to do with the soil, and I top/prune when its in the Air sign. I figured when roots hit “Air” they prune, so maybe its a good time to prune the plant. Lol Idk.
All in all these are just my theories that I use. Wanted to show how my plant is growing with only 2-3 hours of direct sun and me using the Phases of the Moon to aid in the health and growth of the plant. Since i cant really rely on the sun as far as how much sunlight the plant is getting. Some days it gets no direct sun if there’s heavy cloud coverage in the morning till afternoon by then the sun is on the other side of my building. After all the Moon is there for a reason. And so far using the moon has made growing a whole lot simpler for me, and my plants still seem to be happy and are growing out nice even when direct sunlight is limited.

I couldn't get through the wall of text. Your beliefs are rooted in bro-science. But if it makes you happy then do it.
