Aloha SurfdOut,

Can you increase your yield by growing by the moon phases? If yes, what is the average percentage of increase? Please excuse my ignorance but I just thought that it was a myth that I first heard when I was my teens.

Hi Waiakea, love your pursuit of perfection...will probably be your neighbor in a couple years...

It's pretty hard for me to do controlled tests as I run new genetics almost every run, but the sprouts do seem to take off a little faster with the bigger tides and plants generally seem healthier. I try to use a cross of the old almanac planting guides and the Hawaiian planting guides. Plants seem to dry faster when harvested at the right time of the moon, but that is harder than sowing at the right time...they say there is interplanetary stress directly on the new moon and full moon, but what the hell does that mean?

I took a sample few rips from the papaya and man alive it's super smooth and super tasty for a plant that was alive 9 days ago! I know it’ll only get getter with a proper cure…..but I sure seems like the organic bud it pretty killer without a proper cure too!...just another good reason to grow organically

I'd keep going and let it put on some weight and get meatier. how long has it been flowering? why the yellowing? did you cut out the N to early?

Does kinda look that way, huh Doc? That was my first guess... Sometimes when MJ gets wet feet she'll start to do similar shyt with the bottom leaves, too... are you losing any of those leaves 808toker?

Im not sure how long exactly shes been flowering but its close to 2 months. And im starting to think that is what my problem is...not enough. I tried to keep n levels loww this time around and i think i stopped feeding too early

She still needs a few weeks to go....like The Doc pointed out, looks like you need to feed her some N. What are you feeding her with?

I haven't read all the post. But to me it doesn't sound like Nitrogen problem. But more like either a nutrient lockout or a cal/mag shortage.

Braddah's and Sistah'a I saw a red loach lurking around over Aiea/Pearl City not sure if there intentions are good or bad…might be GH…it might be somebody else leasing the helicopter so just be careful!

Mahalo for the information! I will try and do things by the moon phase and see how it goes. Mahalo for sharing all your manao about the cannabis plants, I really appreciate the help and advice! Just trying to learn as much as I can so I can grow the best plants possible!
