Lunar Cycle

[Ramjet159]

My brothers telling me he’s starting his next indoor grow around the next moon cycle . I’m thinking hmmm but it’s indoor ?? So yeah ??‍♂️.
I can understand perhaps outdoor and moonlight possibly having an affect . Personally I’ve always grown outdoors based around hours of available light and end of frost more or less .
Google says what it always says …….everything but nothing conclusive ?
I dunno ? To moon or not to moon ?

We moon everything!
Either your a believer or not.
I do it because of expectant results. It pulls the tides, it's got good powers goin on lol.

Only if the moon is waxing off ?

The gravitational pull of the moon is constant, regardless of indoor/outdoor setting.

I can't see the point of it if he's growing indoors under lights for the entire life cycle. Outdoors I understand the rationale . I'm very similar to you ramjet, Daylight hours, air temp frost etc and soil temp. If I can get a sneaky month seeds in earlier that don't reveg, daylight is kosher and temps are kosher I'm winning the lottery. Hopefully no more frosts next month. I'm hoping to drop in some more seedlings later that month. Melb I could get away with but bush getsuch colder frost prone than metro melb

Ya need water inside and outside.
Ya need soil inside and outside.
Ya need light, inside and outside.
Why wouldn't the moon apply?
Ya may not want it but it applys.

There are 3 lunar cycles all interact with each other and us and everything on this planet. There is a tendancy to focus on the most visible, lunation, when perigee/apogee and ascension/desension should not be ignored.

 

[Frosty78]

I'm interested in your thoughts fellas on the lunar cycles. do you have any thoughts on solar fires affecting growing cycles seasons aswell.
Always willing to learn, the day you stop learning or want to learn is the day you die.

 

[DopeDaniel]

Like solarmax and min cycles that are 20 some odd years in length? Hmmm.....

 

[Ramjet159]

I’m totally open minded on matters of gardening and such although some seem a lot more realistic or credible than others . The 48 hrs of darkness prior to harvest has never made sense to me but hey everyone is free to follow whatever . I was watching a clip from a horticulturalist stating plants simply cannot do anything growth related in darkness , even secrete . Photosynthesis is only obviously in play with light applied . That to me makes sense but once again there is no study saying it doesn’t work , at least nothing I’m not aware of ??‍♂️

Ah yes . Being a mariner by trade and always subject to the tides I know just about every day what our little glow in the sky above is up to . Plus my keen angler habit has me always sniffing around it ?

I have absolutely nothing to add except that this thread reminds me how much I want to try @Dino Party 's Moonijuana.

Does the moon Wax off to Venus ?

I use the moon as a seed soak date because i have no self control otherwise..I almost stick to it religously.

And ideally...Soak..full moon...NEXT full moon they move from the 1/2 gallon pot they go in....to about a 3G....and then next full moon in BLOOM OR
1/2 gallon to whatever sized pot and they wait 1 or 2 more moons.

It makes the math so much easier than when i put in plants without a plan.. Helps with timing the dryer..works great. And about a 3 moon flower cycle start to dry.

Now that to me makes sense . I get lost on time schedule accuracy as well . I usually end up looking back at pic dates on my phone to get an idea

Interesting! I see days of research in my near future

 

[OldG]

a moon is 4 weeks... not too much really is ready in 2 moons but most of it is dry in 3.

have heard of some cultivators that would use their car lights at night to give their plants light. Some say harvest at speific moon phases also helps ---FYI
