Anyone ever used Maria Thun's cosmic calendar?...

I'm thinking of getting her 2006 sowing and planting calendar... I did plan a couple of grows according to this calendar in the past... I guess there is a lot more to it than the way I did it... I've used it mostly to check the flower dates... to pinpoint the perfect harvest time for any grow... you can use it as you go, or calculate back from an ideal harvesting moment and plan your grow to it...

The moon calendar might be easier to use... for a 9 week strain you can start flowering just before a full moon and harvest right after a full moon...

What do you say?... is it all superstition or are plant cycles ruled by a cosmic connection???

My grow is guided by a full moon over Uranus. [ with new improved rings.]

To learn more on biodynamics... check work of Rudolf Steiner and Maria Thun... those names come up everytime googling... I haven't read any of their books... just some articles... so I'm not knowledgable on biodynamics... but it feels so natural... some general rules to biodynamic farming include:
*Working on Soil... and taking care for proper soil life, I add mychorizza and proper bacteries... feeding ferments, melassees and guano... avoiding minerals like PK13/14
*Selecting Tasty Strains... duh...
*Following Cosmic Rhythms... "The light of the sun, moon, planets and stars reaches the plants in regular rhythms. Each contributes to the life, growth and form of the plant. By understanding the gesture and effect of each rhythm, we can time our ground preparation, sowing, cultivating and harvesting to the advantage of the crops we are raising."

Yesterday, january 14th this Kushage smelled like ripe... with 5 weeks to go till finish!

If any of y'all wonder why plants smell stonger on certain days... check the dates above and find out for yourselves about harvesting days... and plan your next grow to it... and share your experience!

High SativaBelieva, I havent been using it before, but have been aware of it for a long time now. It just happened that I managed to buy one recently, so I thought I'd give it a try. So yesterday I started to germinate my seeds for a first 2006 grow, exactly at a given moment for sewing flower plants.

here is a cover for polish version of the calendar.

It's nice to see somebody doing research in similar direction, it may not affect anything in my plants, but it's fun!

BTW: you'll find an internet version of the calendar here: https://members.chello.at/mkportal/emka0106.htm

hello guys,

i am a first time grower, but I have put the seeds in a soil on a day for flowers, which is a little different than the internet version says, but I read it in a book by Maria Thun.
I am convinced that in the worst case scenario, notihing is wrong if you go by this dates, but , in my personal oppinion, there is a lot more to it.
it is really nice to have some people who think the same.
I have also burried the remaining seeds in the ground (in a glass jar of course) during 24.12.05 and 6.jan. 06, as this is supposed to enrich the energy level of seeds.
And the new round of seeds goes into soil on 31.Jan 06 for shure!!!
All the best to all of you!

Thank you for contributing Kov! That link of the internet version of the calender is really helpful!... it gives instructions on a monthly bases... aiding short time work planning... with more detail... while the harvest dates in my post give a bases for mid-term planning of flower cycles...

So now everybody can play around with this calendar... without needing to buy it...

I'd be keen to hear if you note your plants smell stronger on the 'best flower periods'...

SativaBelieva · 01-16-2006, 01:26 PM

Hi Proud Daddy... I thought it was the right way... to pop pot seeds during best flower periods... born under the right 'horoscope', the plants will be geared towards building flowers... I've red somewhere that maintaining your crop on flower days will further increase its flower building focus... though I believe the days when to pop seed or take cuts and when to harvest are the most significant... and I believe flower periods to be best for all... and fruit periods are a good option too...

Thanks for sharing your experience!
