Do Any of You Intentionally Sow Seeds Around a Full Moon?

It's been done for ages due to its supposed positive effects on germination and overall plant growth. Personally, I've never tried it but just curious to see if any of you had had any noticeable positive results. 0.JPG

Nice upload thanks.
Have not tried it with cannabis but will be trying for potatoes this season.
I have noticed I myself seem to get more done at full moons.
I did like this article for...

I would imagine that if planting by the moons cycle is some how beneficial to the plant, that it is minimal at best, And I would be shocked if you could visually see a difference.
But Hey what do I know. You could get amazing results. No harm in at least giving it a shot.

It is not science-based, and provides no results that are reproducible under scientific testing protocols, and so as such is a faith-based exercise. Personally I think it's BS but it doesn't hurt anything so people can believe it if they choose to.

I can remember reading articles about this in the Farmers Almanac years ago.
One of the benefits, was to keep vermin from eating the seeds. There less active at night when the moons illuminated.
I've never heard of that but it makes sense. I'll keep that in mind when I put the tomatoes in this year. They've been dug up the next day every year for as long as I can remember. Total PITA but the funny thing is they (it?) never dig them up twice. Kind of like they're just checking to see if I put anything good under there.

So science has not proven the tides are higher with a full moon ??

The articles may have gone into the biodynamic stuff but I cant recall. I think every grower should have a FA to curse over. Theres a lot of solid info you wont find in the "weed" books.

There's also a lot of solid info in the weed books and forums that you'll never find in the tomato growing books or forums. I started out growing tomatoes but it seems that the weed forums and books are kind of like an intellectual gateway drug. :D

Planting a full moon does nothing. It's a myth.

There is also a lot of bad information in weed books and forums. Too many myths and broscience. :blsmoke:
