Lunar Calendar for the Year 2025

The lunar calendar is an invaluable tool for farmers and gardeners who want to align their activities with the Moon's cycle. Many believe that the Moon's phases influence plant growth, similar to how they affect ocean tides. Properly planning sowing, planting, or harvesting according to the lunar phases can enhance yields and improve crop quality.

Moon Phases in 2025

Each phase of the Moon has a specific effect on plants:

  1. New Moon (beginning of the cycle) – The ideal time to sow leafy plants and those that grow quickly. Avoid pruning and transplanting.

  2. First Quarter (waxing Moon) – A favorable period for plants that bear fruit above the ground. Ideal for tree grafting.

  3. Full Moon (culmination) – A time of intense growth, but avoid sowing and pruning. Best time for harvesting.

  4. Last Quarter (waning Moon) – An excellent period for sowing root vegetables and performing maintenance tasks such as weeding or pruning.

How to Use the Lunar Calendar in Gardening?

  • During the new moon, plant fast-growing crops like lettuce, spinach, or herbs.

  • In the first quarter, plant fruiting plants above ground, such as tomatoes, peppers, or beans.

  • In the full moon, avoid pruning but focus on harvesting fruits and vegetables for long-term storage.

  • In the last quarter, focus on weeding, fertilizing, and planting root crops such as carrots or beets.

Cannabis Cultivation According to the Lunar Calendar

Cannabis, whether industrial hemp or medicinal varieties (where legal), has specific requirements for sowing and care. The lunar calendar can help determine optimal planting and maintenance times.

? Best Time for Cannabis Sowing According to the Lunar Calendar

  • Sowing – First Quarter (waxing Moon) → This period promotes rapid sprouting and vigorous growth of above-ground parts. Ideal dates in 2025 include:

    • 6 January, 5 February, 7 March, 6 April, 5 May, 3 June, 3 July, 2 August, 1 September, 30 September, 29 October, 28 November.

  • Pruning and Shaping – Last Quarter (waning Moon) → The best time for cutting, as plants recover faster and the risk of infection is reduced. A good time for controlled shaping and removing excess branches.

  • Harvesting – Full Moon or shortly thereafter → Plants are rich in sap during this period, enhancing the aroma and quality of harvested flowers.

? Proposed Cannabis Growing Dates in 2025

  • Sowing: March – April (depending on climatic conditions)

  • Maintenance (pruning, plant training): Best during the last quarter

  • Harvesting: September – October (or depending on the variety and plant cycle)

Remember, cannabis is sensitive to frost, so if planting outdoors, ensure the risk of cold temperatures has passed.

Summary

Utilizing the lunar calendar in everyday cultivation helps maximize yields and improve plant health. While many gardeners consider it a traditional method, combining this knowledge with modern farming techniques is highly effective.

We wish you bountiful harvests in 2025!
