Dear Fellow Growers,
I am the wife of an indoor grower who has been growing for almost 4 years now. This forum is his bible and I thank you in advance for any responses. In a few I will ask some questions but first let me tell you about World War III.
We never fight. Hardly ever. Yesterday we had world war III over something so silly it's unbelievable. In 4 years he has experimented a lot, tried every medium, such as hydro, cocoa, soil layering, super soil making, organic, non-organic, you name it, he has done it. His success has been remarkable in quality, but yields have varied for the usual reasons. This stuff takes years to really master, as I am sure I don't need to tell all of you. He had the most unbelievable Pre-98 Bubba grow ever!! Heaven! A lot of you sweet gentlemen-growers out there have helped him out so much and his hyper-intelligence and diligence did the rest. Overall, it's been a huge success so far.
WELL--all this time I never mentioned to him years ago I had experience with growing using moon phases. When you plant on a new moon it yields more. I just thought everyone who grows anything knew this. You are also supposed to transplant and prune and harvest at a particular moon phase, too. Well this is the oldest knowledge on the planet I thought. Basically he thinks it's hippie witchcraft. His comment was he also doesn't believe in necromancy, either. I got more mad than I have in a long time. Hours later he refused dinner which he never does and I was still fuming.
SO--I ask you gentlemen-growers who know what I am talking about, do I sound like a crazy hippie to you? Questions for the growers:
Have any of you ever planted, watered, transplanted, pruned or harvested using moon phases (first quarter, full, third quarter, new)?
Do any of you consult the farmer's almanac for indoor growing?
Does anyone but me see it's not the light but the magnetic forces of how water is affected by moon phases that affect growing, even the smallest amounts found in soil and tiny seeds?
Are any of you a scientist who can verify that moon phase gardening is proven? I will even take hippie or witch verification.
Are any of you willing to do a real experiment where I post all the good times for the entire year and you actually use them and report back if it worked?
I guess my point is I am trying to help the hubby here, not be critical. He had his worst planting ever on an Aries (Sept.) full moon, they all died. He never had them all die before like that and he did NOTHING wrong. We all know the seedling growing part is usually the easiest. ANYWAY--never plant on a full moon! Plant about 10 days after a full moon! Best time to plant seeds for above-ground crops of any kind this month is anytime after this Sat.--the NEW MOON! World War III was over me wanting him to wait THREE DAYS to plant his new expensive European seeds that he waited months for. OK, I best end this manifesto, he is looking funny at me.
Any responses at all are anxiously awaited and very much appreciated. And thanks again to those of you guys who help the new growers, you really make a difference. :icon_smile:
