did not germinate at the time of the new moon should
do so by the full moon. Alan Chadwick said that it is
during this period that seeds cannot resist coming up,
and mushrooms suddenly appear overnight.
During the third 7 days of the lunar cycle, the amount
of moonlight decreases along with the lunar gravitational
pull. As the moonlight decreases, aboveground leaf
growth slows down. The root growth is stimulated again,
however, as the lunar gravitational pull decreases. This is
a good time to transplant, since root growth is active.
This activity enables the plant to better overcome
transplant shock and promotes the development of a
good root system while leaf growth is slowed down.
Then, 21 days later, when leaf growth is at a maximum,
the plant will have a developed root system that can
provide it with suRcient nutrients and water. This is also
the time to plant long-germinating seeds that take
approximately 2 weeks to germinate; they will then be
ready to take advantage of the boost from the high
gravitational pull of the new moon.
During the last 7 days of the lunar cycle, the lunar
gravitational force increases, and root growth slows
down. The amount of moonlight decreases and also
slows down leaf growth. This period is one of a balanced
decrease in growth, just as the 9rst 7 days in the lunar
month is a period of balanced increase in growth. The
last 7 days, then, is a rest period that comes before the
bursting forth of a period of new life. Short-, long-, and
extra-long-germinating seed crops are listed in the Master
