Harvesting now in Aquarius, Barren Sign, 4th Quarter.
Planting to begin In Pisces, Water Sign, Fruitful Sign, 1st Quarter.
what exactly does aquarius, barren sign and 4th quarter mean? i'm truly intrigued! thanks!
-shake
4th quarter for harvesting.... barren sign good for harvesting....fire sign is best.... Aquarius one of 12 signs of the Moon.
1st quarter good for planting... Fruitful sign means good for planting.
Barren is time when things won't germ or grow well. Bad for planting.
I'll copy my How to Garden By the Moon thread at IcMag and copy it here for ya when I get a chance!
sweet! thanks! i'll definitely give it a read. i'm sure it will just spawn more questions though! i'll save 'em for now.

Day 7 Clone Update! I have Roots! It's Alive!
Hey Gang, I'm so happy! My first purebred clone! Checked on the girls etc., a little while ago and guess what! My first roots! Whoopee!
I used those Jiffy pellets, rooting hormone and now have roots busting out the sides of the Jiffy pellet on my first clone!
Can't wait to go to sleep and wake up in the morning. I will run to the clone chamber like a kid on Christmas morning, to check for more roots on more clones. It's like Christmas eve all over here....
Never thought the Jiffy pellets would work so great! All the clones look perky, growing, and sassy! So I am assuming that they have all rooted, just don't have roots outside the Jiffy pellets yet.
I love clones,....they are the best thing I have learned to do so far!
Thanks for stopping by The Moon Garden!
So I take it that the cloning is going well......:D
just curious but how long in the jiffy pellots? i am trying them now to day 6 no roots yet
Loco, I noticed first roots on Day 7! Day 8 and I had multiple roots showing from multiple plants.
California Orange Bud clones easily!
White Rhino showing roots near the top of the Jiffy pellet, few roots on bottom of Jiffy pellet.....
WeedHound: Yup! Cloning good GREAT!
Went to civilization yesterday, got the mule team out and all....
GREAT DEAL AT WALLY WORLD!: Found in the gardening section, hidden in corner...BAMBOO STAKES, 4 feet long 25 of them for $2.50!!! Don't know if this is seasonal or not, but just what I was looking for! They are all dyed a nice bright hideous green as well....Pretty pretty. They only had a few bags of them, so go to WalMart and get some QUICK!
Also got some more Jiffy pellets, pots, seedling soil.... As usual went to 3 major stores and NO dirt other than that stupid Miracle Grow Dirt....dagnabbit....... Guess it's Nashville if I want to get Fox Farm Soil.
Cheers LolaGal!!!Wishin' ya trouble free grows and smooth sailing from here on in for you have definitely paid your dues...:thumbsup:
I think the bamboo sticks only come in 2 flavors,plain or green lol...
Thanks for the good wishes DTR! I'm sure loving this good bargain! I've been vegging this batch since Nov 16th and still ain't flipped em! OH NO!!Quote:

Run out to Wally World everybody and get ya'll some of these great bamboo stakes! What a bargain!!!!:D
STAY TUNED FOR PICS! Got some new pics ready my medical grow!!! Will post some pics as soon as I catch a good internet wave on dialup!
:dance: Thanks for stopping By! :dance:
That's my Rhino Mom on the left and Cali Orange Mom on the right in the first pic.
Second pic shows the clones on their shelf with the seedlings on top!
Third pic is my clone roots! Sorry, this camera is a piece of crap!
Thanks for stopping by! See ya'll later!
your tomato cages are upside-down ... what's gonna happen when the plants notice that ? :D
Heehee IR! Them there tomato cages be allright! I came in one day when window was open and Cali Orange was down on the ground! She's always had an underdeveloped stem from birth. So into the cage she went! I also have her tied up with velcro! Cali Orange in bondage! Hope she don't pass on these weaknesses to her children...
"When BAD PLANTS turn good."......:D (next new reality show)
now thats funny stuff hound, so lola do the signs have anything to do with how baked i get. So will one sign have a different effect than the other when smoking the same plant. I heard also that keeping a hit in for 17 seconds is absolute best for total lung absorbtion and this comes from a scientist at um that says he was involved with g13 also.
Thanks Weedy!
I went wild again today and cloned ole Cora the Cali Orange again! I think I'm gonna gift the clones I don't want... This cloning so fun, I can't stop..
Transplanted the Cora clones I cloned 9 days ago. Them roots was abustin' out all over! Wow!
Today and Tomorrow are Good Planting, cloning days! 1st quarter, fruitful sign! I'm not planting anything, but I may clone a few more clones...lol
See ya'll later!
I can only find Miracle Gro also:( ! I read a thread months ago that MG bought or merged with FF??? Any truth to it? r we in trouble?
Nice pics. On my way to the gro meeting I'll check out the bamboo. Spring stuff is just on the shelves last week, as the hearts went out. I am guessing you were lucky and got a batch left over from last year (due to your remote location), I saw none in stock last week, will check it though!
How does this figure in your book---yesterday the rain melted almost all the snow left. When does the 'harvest moon' stop and I will plant. Even if they are clones- do you have to figure in the day you cut clone for planting?
Thanks for all the info! pr :greenthumb:
hey, thanks for reading my mind, I post and the answer was there before I wrote it.
PR...look around the gardening section for any kind of stakes. They had a bunch of metal ones, and hidden in the back were 6 or 8 packs of the bamboo stakes. Would've gotten more if only I had known how cheap they were! I'm thinking that they were new for spring, dunno!
I use good planting dates as good cloning dates. I prefer 3rd quarter/fruitful sign, due to rooting benefits. I'm gonna try this 1st quarter for cloning to see if it makes any difference in rooting times.
Axxxe: Don't you know a tall tale when you hear one? LOL.
Will do!! thanks pr!
Good day to plant ya'll, 1st quarter and Moon in Fruitful Sign!
PR: did ya find any bamboo stakes?
I've been on a wild cloning spree. Put up some more White Rhino clones last night, guess there's just no more I can do today.
Thinking about starting on a separate bloom area project, so I can keep up a perpetual harvest.
My grow area is about 10 feet wide by 15 feeet long with 8 foot ceilings. I have a window right in the middle of the 10 feet wide wall. Any suggestions on how to split up the area best? There is lots of available venting in both 15 foot walls, so window is not the only vent source.
Of course without air cconditioning, won't be able to use it in the summer, but will cross that bridge when I come to it.
Threw in a fan leaf to clone with the rest, and SHOCK, it's rooted! What will happen to it next?
what kind of water do you use for jiffy pellots? nutes ?

Probably wasted on clones, so, no.
And warm water works mo' betta than cold to expand the pellets.:cool:

Jiffy Pot brand are made of peat, too acidic for MJ ... yes, your plant may not die, yadayada, but I recommend RapidRooters over the Jiffy products ... 'Rooters are made of compressed bark, and neutral pH (your seedlings will thank you) ... :smokin:
Call up my fave hydro people & got a great deal!
2 400 watt HPS/MH ballasts with cords...$50 each, new!
2 Reflectors with cords $20 each!
Could not resist, had to have em at those prices!
Hi Weeze, Hi IR, glad to see ya!
I only had Jiffy pellets, so that is what I used, needed to starts some clones! I did get some rockwool starters, but ain't used em yet.
I've just been using pH adjusted water only on the clones.
My seedlings are in some seedling starter mix and Perlite. I was out of plastic cups, so I used some leftover 3 inch peat pots.
I agree IR, don't like to use the peat pots, they dry out also!
Jiffy pellets for clones works GREAT for me for the price and easy to obtain out here in the sticks. Would like to try the Rapid Rooters one day.
For now, I was just shocked at the Jiffy pellets for clones. I expected they would all die, but they are 100% alive and rooting.
I've been potting at least 2 a day as the Rhinos finish rooting. I used some tiny clones to start the first time I tried it. So Rhinos are tiny clones! Some under one and two inches..!!
All my buddies will be getting some free clones this year! LOL.
damn lola, sweet deal! i'm jealous! good for you! glad the clones are treating you well. i sure could use a few of them....hint hint!
sorry i haven't checked in in a bit. the work was getting out of hand. so my wife put an end to that. i guess it's full time botany for me! woo-hoo!
keep it up. i like gardening by the moon.

I grew up on a Farm in Kansas....we also had a Farmers Almanac that we planted by when it was convenient. Unknown if the planting tables worked, but I can tell you the fishing guides were notoriously inaccurate for Kansas fish. I can say this for certain, every time I see Dutch Pimps Avatar I want to find my Ole Lady and do fun things to her. Thanks!
Hey Ya'll, things seem kind of ghost town like in this thread!
Hmmm. Need to update.
My big news is the lights I got really meant I had a lot of work to do. I built a bloom room about 10x12 and use 3 400s to light that.
I tore out the veg and moved them into the other side, using the 4th 400 to light that area.
My little stick of a California Orange bud is now budding! Yes, finally I have buds. Not a lot yet, haven't had the bloom room going long. I got to make one run before it gets hot here.
Also made a lot of White Rhino clones to put outside to wait for fall.
My current bloom includes White Widow, White Rhino, Cali O, WhiteBerry x PP, and Ice Cool. I am in about day 8 or so of bloom, so not much yet.
Don't be strangers!
That TOTALLY sound familiar, lol. Everyone just wants to try; it's supposed to grow itself. Now look at you....welcome! :D
i've definitely got the bug too! it's all of ya'lls fault!
sounding very nice lola! i need some of those clones. thanks.
-shake
It is their fault. It was that way with me too shake; Stinky and X-Crispi got me. :D
lol, fair enough hound. i guess i shall do my duty and pass on the love! and you might not have got me, but your grows are very inspirational!
-shake
Thanks Ya'll!
Hey Shake, come and get some of the Rhino clones, I got too many! Been giving them away to some of my friends! Ignorant slobs don't even appreciate the wonderful Rhino genetics! Some didn't even call to thank me! The Nerve!!!!!! No more clones for them! I was raised with better manners! If somebody is nice enough to gift me, I certainly let them know I appreciate it!!!!!!!
Holler at ya'll later!
i hear ya lola. i often find my friends doing the same type of stuff. that's why i don't have many at all. i am starting to really dislike people the older i get.
you better believe that when i swing through that way i'm getting some of those clones!
thanks.
-shake
By then I will have some Sweet Seed Ice Cool clones and some Greenhouse seeds Super Silver Haze clones! Oh, and some White Widow clones too!
come by anytime! LOL
sounds awesome! i can't wait. i want some good genetics now!

When you put your clones outside, about how long do you wait from the lights to outside- to adjust to the Sun. Do you have any procedure to acclimate them to the sun, so they don't burn? I have freezing temps and holding one for a clone before flower, but don't want a 6 wk plant going from inside to direct sunlight? Saw someone that did that last year.
Was kind of thinking to put under a pine tree (small), to filter the light gradually??? Then I could start now and plant outside mid-May or so. Same with my beans. Never been so anxious for planting!
Sorry, been too busy to drop in much and say to much when I do! PR :jointsmile:
