OK Pirate, got my trusty LLewellyn's Moon sign book out.... :D

If you want to plant in the 4th quarter (traditionally used for killiing weeds) a good planting day coming up will be 20th after 2 AM EST and 21st.

I don't like to plant or clone in the 4th quarter. I don't have as good a luck as I do in the 3rd quarter, which just passed yesterday.

A truly fruitful sign/phase to plant is due on the 29th, all day, all nite. I'd use that if it were possible!



Looked at my bloomers this morning, and good news! The Widows are definitely budding! My WB/PP is gonna be a huge beast of a gal, She's 4 foot tall already. My Ice Cool is getting fat and sassy, no buds yet. The Ice Cool has huge stems! Hoping for enough buds to last till fall.... :D Bye Ya'll

Has anyone cloned a fig tree. I got one at Lowes. It was the last the sitting in this huge container. I have wanted a fig tree for 3 years and never got one. So I looked at this thing at said it was a fig tree. About 15 inches tall from the soil. Very thick trunk and limbs. It was totally cut back like a grape vine. I put it in my bud room right under the HPS and 2 days later it was sprouting leaves. They say you get a spring crop and a fall crop. I adore fresh figs! They are like heaven.

A friend of mine has a fig tree in her back yard, despite winters here. I didn't know there were some cold hardy figs out there. She divided hers at the roots and got a start that way she said. dunno about figs.

TRAGEDY AT THE LUNAR-TARIUM!/ Week Ahead in Moon Gardening

TRAGEDY AT THE LUNAR-TARIUM!/ Week Ahead in Moon Gardening

OH NO! My WhiteBerry/ Power Plant Hermed on me! A ball sac! Now I'm playing should I stay or should I go with her/it. Damn! One of the finest gals in the stable. Last time I thought I could pick balls inside, I had seedy weed.

These Trichomes on the Cali Orange Mom are Awesome! Huge trichs, visible to the naked eye, mushroom shaped, frosting on Day 21! The trichs are cloudy, which has me confused, as I thought they were supposed to be clear. I've never seen any bud that was this frosty this soon, or in fact, this frosty ever! (except in photos).

Wish I had a camera I could manually focus....I wanna show it to ya'll bad... :mad: Anybody got a Nikon digital SLR they don't want? :D

Let's hope for nice cool temps through June! Not too hard around here. First we are having DogWood winter...my Mammaw always said it gets cold again when the DogWood Trees bloom, and it is True! Next is blackberry winter. That is a cold snap that always comes when the wild blackberries bloom.

Lola, do you have any roots from the 11th? I pulled ~1 tray of each strain, and I don't see anything poking out of the trays, but any day now :D

How hermed is the WB/PP? Like balls with dusty yellow nanners? I only ever had 1 plant grow balls (lil green balls at the nodes, no pollen/nanners), and it was because I mistreated her ~the transition to + early flower. I pulled the balls, treated her well, and she behaved fine. I kept and ran a cut for ~6 mo, inside and out, and she was good to go.

Pirate what strain(s) are you are starting? I'ma drop a handfull of Spice crosses on the 20th, cause it's 4/20, AND the moon says, "Well....OK..." :D

Interesting! I checked my roots today as well...day 7 for my latest clones...nada.... some are in peat and some are in rockwool. all look fine, but don't see no roots!

My WhiteBerry gal had one ball on a branch. I'm keeping a daily check on her while I decide her fate....I got a bunch of clones from her too....durn...she was special to me.

Hello all,

Lola, I have two strains that predictably throw a nanner or two. They are great girls and as of yet I have just a seed or two that I toss in each harvest.

If its like serious nanner outbreak you might want to cull her.

And not to pee on yor parade, but check those big calyx's as they may be seed. I had a harvest that I thought was going to be killer and it turned up majorly seeded....all the while I was thinking that the calyx was just swollen. Just a thought.

Good luck and great grows,

LolaGal,

Drug out Llewellyn's let's see what they say... April 20,21 Pisces & April 28,29 Cancer. No Libra coming up (good time to force flip huge blooms) till May 5,6th.

I'd avoid flipping in Taurus, because things started in Taurus tend to be stubborn and long lasting! So you don't want long, extended flowering times! But Taurus would be better than a Fire Sign or Barren Sign....

I just don't like doing anything much except transplant in 4th quarter. It's pretty barren in my opinion!

I swear, 2 days ago the Cali Orange had buds about one to two inches wide.

Now they are about four inches wide in only a couple days. It's amazing....I think I may have a decent bud for the first time ever! They are lovin the cool temps and night air. All other grows bagseed.... :D
 
Hey Lola,

Thanks for all of the "Gardening by the Moon" tips, I've got roots on all my 8 day clones!!! :) Even my half dead difficult Apollo 11s rooted! I'm going to transplant tomorrow, that should be good, yes? I like the new avatar!

Happy 4/20 From The Moon Garden!

Happy 4/20 From The Moon Garden!

Happy 4/20 Moon Cultists! :dance:

I AM STONED! (I'm sure ya'll were dying to know that..lol) Celebrate! Hmmm...seems like I celebrate 4/20 everyday!

My gals are budding like mad! Wanna See?

OK, Here's a Pic of my Cali Orange Momma, who is about 5 feet tall.


Please Nikon, Sponsor my Thread! I need a good camera! Sorry! Here's a close up of the Delicious Cali Orange Buds!


That ole White Rhino Momma wanted to say Happy 4/20 as well! Here she is! She is starting to get some nice buds! She's also about a 5 footer.


And last, but not least, the White Widows are gettin pumped up! Buds are starting, can ya see em? They are around 4 foot tall or a little less maybe.


The other strains are alive and well, but no buds much on them yet! Go Ice Cool, Go SSH! Go WhiteBerry/Power Plant.

The WB/PP gal that threw a ball sac is still alive, if I see another one, out she goes. I have not yet decided her fate, as she is playing all innocent and feminine right now.

Ya'll wanna see my new birthday present from Dutch? There was a little mixup at the glass store, and they offered to substitute, so I picked this 22 inch Double Perk in beautiful Cobalt Blue


:dance: Happy 4/20! Hope Ya'll Stay Hgh! :dance:
