Lunar Planting.

In the beginning there was a seed. Day 1

Both girls germinated, the Kush popped in 48hrs with the Zkittles 18hrs behind.

Seeds were germinated in Root!T's on a heat pad, 36hrs later both were potted up from the germination box.

Potting Up

The Lechuzas were prepped 36hours prior to potting.
Each pot contains 13l of soil and an empty 3l reservoir.
One pot was prepped with 1ml of Dutch Pro Take Root and 1ml of Dutch Pro Multi Total in 2l of plan water. The other pot was prepped with 2.5l of plan water only.
Both cubes were sprayed with a mild Velvo Kelp solution at 1ml per 3l of plan water prior to planting.
Humidity Domes added until the true leaves are green.

Light Schedule

I'll run my lights 24/7 at 60cm hanging height on half power until the true leaves are inch long.
Light intensity measured at this height is approx 410umols.

Once the leaves are green the lights will be turned up to full power and lowered over a 4 day period coinciding with an hour a day dark period bringing my lightening schedule to 20/4 for the remaining grow.

Once the girls have settled in I'll post another update.

Now for the Woo Woo bit

I managed to get both girls in the ground to marry with the lunar cycle, the moon passed through Gemini Sat and Sun morning this week. A good time to sow/prune/transplant flowers

Both girls get a daily trio of frequency played to them for no longer than 5mins a tone.

The following frequencies should boost growth, health and yield 7.83hz, 528hz and 432hz

Happy growing.

What a coincidence. l have 14 seeds soaking tonight, they will have Solo Cup dirt naps in the A.M. 4 "New Caledonia" from ACE Seeds, 2 "Rif Kafrine" from Bama Seeds, 4 "Lebanon" from an eBay vendor in Lebanon (joe_k32) & 4 "Kif Ketama X BC Bagseed" from my patio last year.

You’ll be off to a good start, do you have a journal running?

I've accidentally planted my latest girl to benefit from the moon, she's fallen nicely. Planted 24th and popped above ground on 26th.

I have 2 identical sisters in there that weren't so fortunate so be interesting to see how they all get on.

@DeanOnAuto no. l'm not a photo snapper as a rule. I don't even take selfies or own/use a cellphone ... Too much info stored on photos these days that l don't want or need out in the world. l could use the EMCO Photo Resizer which removes the info when you resize your pics with their app l guess. This will be my first ever run indoors with my new 150 X 150 X 200 tent & a 1000w HPS/MH switchable ballast/light and all the ventilation gear and nutrients l bought piece-meal last year over a period of several months with my COVID relief money (Thanks Justin Trudeau!) and it might get ugly and be not for public viewing. Been growing since '86 to '04 with a divorce caused hiatus lasting until last summer on the back "patio". I am usually an outdoorsman/greenhouse grower & not really familiar with the intricacies involved growing indoors with lights, eh? l figure the Lebanon & Kif Ketama X Bagseed will be done and be removed from the grow tent before the sativa New Caledonia & Rif Kafrine really stretch and take off on their 14+ week blooming period mission and need the room to roam. Gonna run 'em all on 11/13 cycle after 14-16 days of 24/7 veg under my trusty 48" fluorescent fixture to keep the long day strains under control AND pump out the buds on the earlier strains, I don't care if the Lebanon & Kif Ketama Xs will be short AF or if they don't veg for months.

You've got it going on, happy growing :smoking: :vibes:

The girl that broke ground on the 26th is going to be a monster I'm sure. :smoking::vibes:
I have one that looks like it's coming through, planted on the 21st and the other girl didn't make it, seed still sat there, nothing doing. Previous grows, the girls have been up in 3 days, these have really taken their time.

One has been tossed, I'm starting that one again, this is the 3rd time!FFS. This one will get sowed Monday, Tuesday is also another good day to sow. Happy growing, happy dreaming :smoking:

Here she is I have High Hopes she is gonna be bigger than her sisters.

I just checked my tent, there is nothing doing at all, one I thought was coming through just had one leaf and was a dud. I'm going to refrain from touching these genetics again I think. Thats 5 seeds that have done double nothing. It's a sad day, I've switched the equipment off until I can re germinate some seeds and try again. This will be the third attempt and I've now run out of moon days for a while, if I wish to pursue lunar planting. So far it's been a total shambles and very demoralising :sadcry: Happy growing, happy dreaming:smoking:

You wouldn't get demoralised if somebody sent you a broken TV brother so don't let something beyond your control dishearten you. Whilst I have every faith the lunar logic is a thing you could always start something straight away then start a sister when the lunar time comes round again then you really could compare the effects. Real talk don't let broken tools get you down just replace them. Sending good vibes your way matey

I get insomnia around full moon so I can relate to the concept. After all it is where we get the words Lunatic and Moonstruck from, so why not for plants too.

Tho I find climatic conditions to be more of a factor . . . and some Auto's will just 'fail' a bit like some veg at the allotment but an interesting concept for organic and holistic farmers.

The lunar planted Chemdawg is in her final stages of life and she has exceeded her sisters in terms of size and potency before even chopping her.
The smell is out of this world and the buds are fatter than the US Military defence budget.
There's something to this lunar planting life....

She's a beauty, a very happy looking lady. When you harvest her, if you wait for the waning crescent, this will ensure all the resins and terps are in the uppermost parts of the plant as it gets drawn up throughout the plant by the moons pull.:d5: :vibes:

That's awesome but how far off is that she's being flushed now so only got 10-14 days left in soil.

She STINKS!

The first day from today that will ensure all the goodness is in the plant and not the roots/stems is the 27th May, which might just see you right for your time scale. The moon creates the waning crescent from the 27/05/21 until the 06/06/21 as it passes through Scorpio into Sagittarius, these are all good harvest days. :smoking: :vibes:
