Solar Eclipse... The longest eclipse that has been calculated thus far is the eclipse of July 16, 2186 (with a maximum duration of 7 minutes 29 seconds over northern Guyana) So I imagine it would be like extended period of cloud cover.. A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly 2 hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only up to a few minutes at any given place, due to the smaller size of the Moon's shadow. Also unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to view without any eye protection or special precautions, as they are dimmer than the full Moon. So there you go a lunar eclipse is dimmer then a full moon which is kind of weird but true. So best guess no effect at all. Either too short in the case of solar and in the case of lunar not enough light...

Yes indeed... The Kraken can rise from the pit and swallow your plant whole unless ... you sacrifice a bucket of KFC to me. Interesting question really just couldn't resist and I have no freaking clue 😈

https://wonderfulengineering.com/plants-grow-microgravity/ Plants in space... I honestly can't imagine it would make a noticeable difference.. I'm sure if you measured thousands of events you might notice it does something to the plant. But plants are millions of years old (evolution wise) and have survived and evolved to withstand this type of thing.

I'm just curious if creates stress to produce better tricomes, profiles, etc. Have alot in play going on there not just light. Gavity , water table, air pressure would all change during an eclipse.. Or if the plant would just grow same as every other year.
