THE MOON IS YOUR CANNABIS CALENDAR

guess not

I'm convinced.
If anything, I will sound like one of those 'old world' folk when I tell my team that "the moon will let us know all."
Here's to another year of trying our best.

so i have a plant that is just about ready to be finished, and i checked the moon cycle and it looks like November 25th is the full moon, it says its full at aprx 2:45pm, so to honor the moons calander, is that the percise time it should be taken down? anyone else harvesting on the 25th?

We go by the idea that once in the final 10-15 days of flowering the plant is no longer increasing in size. Therefore plan your flip into the flowering cycle (if you have the ability) to control it's harvest date to between the First Quarter and the Waxing Crescent Moon, therefore taking advantage of the Waning Moon pulling moisture and nutrients into the flower while it is still growing vigorously. The last 2 weeks of flowering we feel most strains of cannabis are just reaching peak maturity for one last chance of grabbing pollen to create seeds before it dies off.

Above all, check your Trichomes for peak maturity under a 30x-50x scope to see if they are all milky, or just the slightest hint of amber appearing on the tips of the flowers.

Most important is peak maturity really. We have strains that finish at 8, 9, and 10 weeks of age so I would not wait any longer for the plants to finish after peak maturity. You should rather take note of the amount of weeks it has taken to reach maturity and plan your next flip date according to that.

What we always try to do is plant our starts and transplants on the New Moon and induce flowering on a Waxing Gibbous therefore ending our average flowering cycle of 9 weeks on the Waxing Crescent Moon.

Great thread, interested to hear other people's techniques regarding this glorious plant....

ya, i do keep track of my flower\veg times. i just am new to the whole moon calandar concept. it just happened to turn out that my plant is finishing at the same time as the full moon. also, i do have a 50x scope, and the trichs are almost there, just pushing it a little further to see test the theory of harvesting on the full moon makeing any noticable difference at all...
also, this plant i'm currently running is a sativa, and is at 10 weeks, and still barely ambering. i prefer a good couch locking sativa so running em a little long is beneficial IMO.

Nice timing!
