I was raised a farmboy out in BFE Applachia, and you planted nothing unless the Farmers Almanac told ya it was ok. If you plant onion sets the wrong days of the month they will be on top of the ground the next morning, and thats a fact.

I read the website you pasted from as well as many others prior to stating my opinion. Irregardless of what is said, the majority agree that the phases of the moon, certain months, etc all affect the lives of plants, people, animals.

I dont know of anything that has never been set in stone. There are always naysayers. Thats what makes life so much fun. All I do know is maybe there is "one" angle that has not been that closely explored. So, since we are a group, lets try to compile some data and determine if its horseshit, or if a fact. I am willing to do so, and I will be the first to share my results. No need to bust my fuckin nuts over this. And if you think it is a crazy idea, dont mess with it. Your grow is exaclty that. "Yours", what you do, or do not do, doesn't matter as long as you are satisfied.

I mean, what could be any easier. It seems as if everyone plans their grows anyways. So you take a quick glance at the upcomming moon phases, pick your month, day, etc and proceed. Seems simple enough to me if it proves to increase yield, potency, naturally eliminate pest troubles, yada yada yada......................

I've never paid that much attention to such plants as dandelions, etc, but you can bet your ass when I see them sprouting like crazy now that I will be checking the moon phase to see where it is at. They are a weed, and that is all we are trying to cultivate.

They refer to people becomming "lunatics" on a full moon a bunch of shit also. Ask any cop or bartender you know if it is true or not. Domestic violence, assult, D.U.I arrests all increase noticeably on a full moon. Coincidence or fact ? And there is data compiled to prove that, lots of it.


Here is what I intend to do:
Start germinating one seed at the beginning of a waxing moon, one in the middle, one near the end. Repeat same process for the 14 days of the waning moon. Number each sample, and see which ones fare the best. Could it just be the seeds, maybe. Could it might be just "whatever", maybe that also. But if I do this for 15-20 grows, I am betting I can establish a pattern. Maybe I wont since using hydro, and if thats the case, I can say fuck the moon. If not, and I can tell you for a fact that the seed planted in mid-waxing stage of every single test yielded minimum of another ounce, seemed much healthier, more trichs, etc, you would not be interested ?

P.S. Mobay, you plant right after August 22, 21:23 (9:23 PM EST), and you are fine. X_Mas will come a little early for you. I am not sure why you would not be interested in something that might produce an extra 3-4 buds per plant, or possibly more, who knows. I thought we were here to share our ideas if anyone had one that may be beneficial to all.
