Has any here tried "Moon Phase Pruning"?

I've read somewhere that best time to prune is when the moon path is descending.
Has anyone tried this with cannabis? If so, did it make much of a difference with it?

I don't prune with the moon

but do most else with it

not because its cool or different cause I'm doing it anyway

and the moon is up and about

defoiling wit the moon can be done

but only the benefits can be seen once the moon is up and running not before

better even far out results in germing and harvesting can be seen

but it takes a practiced eye to see

IMO: Defoil ur plants on the trip from full moon to new moon

so they can recover on the trip

New Moon to Full Moon

but unless you got thousand of plants ....little will be noticed by you

Moon Phases kick in on germing, grafting, and transplanting

it does work but takes an experienced eye

good luck

I've read about germinating with a full moon. The gravitational pull of the moon is supposed to keep moisture close to the earth. In turn helping the seeds germinate quicker.

It only helps if you dance around the plants 3 times naked while boning yo momma!

Or draping your plants in amethyst crystals wile chanting, Donald Trump is dead.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

I used to get some moonshine that was super num num. You would take a shot and then a drag of your cigarette and it tasted like powdered sugar, delicious. Yeah I smoke cigs, don't drink anymore though.

My grandfather used to distill his own mampoer and witblits, our South African version. It normally has a fruit overtone, which depends on the fruit they used.
He would take a shot at night and go to bed. I remember my dad trying a shot one night... he went straight to bed too.

Gardening by The Phases of The Moon

The principles of moon phase gardening are based on the two main phases of the moon. If you regularly look up into the night sky you will have noticed that the moon has four stages which you can almost divide into quarters. These quarters are then divided into two main phases known as waxing and waning. The phase known as waxing occurs between the new and the full moon. It is a time of increased light, when the sun and moon are moving apart. The waning moon comes after the full moon, when the light is decreasing as the sun and moon move closer towards each other.

The theory

The theory behind moon phase planting has to do with how the moon's phases affect the pull of gravity and the amount of light associated with the two main phases. When the moon is full the nights tend to be lighter which helps with photosynthesis and general plant growth. The gravitational pull influenced by the moon is well known to affect the tides of our oceans and there is evidence that this same gravitational pull has an effect on moisture levels in the soil. The highest levels of moisture in the soil occur when there is a full moon and evidence suggests that seeds absorb the most amount of water at this time. There is also a theory that during this time sap flows more strongly through plants increasing their strength and growth.

Planting by the phases of the moon

The theory goes that when the moon is waxing it is a good time to plant anything that is grown for its foliage, fruit or seeds. When the moon is waning, then is the time for root development and for planting those plants whose development happens below the ground, such as root vegetables. As a general rule, from two days before a new moon to three days before a full moon, plant all above ground plants such as salad, peas, brassicas and beans. From two days before a full moon to three days before a new moon, plant or sow root vegetables such as potatoes, onions, carrots and parsnips.

If this ancient and intriguing method of gardening has captured your interest, why not give it a go. If you don't have a large vegetable patch, then carry out a simple experiment with a couple of crops grown in garden planters - one according to the phases of the moon and another as a control. Our relationship with nature has waned in recent years and if nothing else, it may bring you a little more understanding of how the earth, weather and other elements work in harmony to aid us in our gardening.

Damn I guess there is some weight to it. Once I switch back to outdoor/soil growing from indoor/dwc, I will do a more scientific approach on a couple like you said.
Do a few of control ones and a few phase ones and collect some data. Great post thanks!
