Introduction:
Welcome to my grow showcase, and before we commence, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to
@Antonio_DutchPassion for inviting me to this year's Auto Grow & Show event, featuring Dutch Passion's impressive new selection of Cultivars.
In this exhibit, I want to share the practice of electroculture (EC) and lunar planting. These methodologies have captivated cultivators and farmers alike, as they strive to cultivate abundant and thriving plants. Alongside incorporating EC principles, these Autos will be nurtured in accordance with the natural lunar cycle.
Let's delve into a brief overview of the techniques I'm employing:
Electroculture, also referred to as bio-electro-culture, harnesses the profound effects of electrical energy on plant growth. By implementing low-level electrical currents within the Aether, we stimulate vital plant processes such as metabolism, nutrient absorption, and overall vitality.
Aligning with Lunar Phases is an ancient agricultural practice that revolves around the notion of the moon's influence on plant growth and development. By synchronising our planting, pruning, and harvesting activities with the lunar calendar, we optimise our cultivation efforts.
As depicted in the accompanying photograph, two copper antennas serve as conduits for directing Ether energy towards the cultivar. The copper wire, wrapped clockwise with nine turns, extends down to the root zone within the Root-It cube, ensuring the seamless flow of energy.

One crucial aspect of my process involves imprinting the seeds prior to sowing them into their respective cubes. Inspired by the profound teachings found in the Book of Kin, the sixth instalment of the renowned series The Ringing Cedars, I discovered the concept of imprinting. Within the book, Anastasia, the central character, describes the practice of holding seeds in one's mouth and imbuing them with focused energy and positive intentions. This imprinting process is believed to establish a unique bond between individuals and plants, enhancing the plant's vitality and the quality of its fruits.
Anastasia's profound belief is that by imprinting seeds with the DNA of specific individuals or groups, a harmonious connection between humans and the plant kingdom is forged. This connection facilitates a synergistic exchange of energy and information, resulting in improved growth, resilience, and even potential healing properties within the plants.

In part two of this showcase, we will take a look at the Lechuza planters, my transplanting method, and the construction of larger EC rods, necessary for accommodating the larger containers.
Stay tuned for the next instalment.
