Not much.
@ReservoirDog pointed me to a site focusing on that that seemed interesting but I got distracted by other things and never circled back.
Can you give us a brief synopsis and how you are employing it?
Its a new concept for me, but in practice I have been doing similiar with out knowing it.
Home this one from BC
Its a big thing now, permaculture 2.0; I am not a member of the association or anything, Its not really in me to become a militant of any movement, style or ideology (I have mine and Im already a member).
Thats there site on principles behind biodynamics.
Biodynamics is a holistic, ecological, and ethical approach to farming, gardening, food, and nutrition.

How I use it?
Starts from the winter months were I spent days figuring out how and where to plant eveything. Worked the soil and looked at the way the sun would hit the grow space by just observing and using some tools I find online.
I had to understand how the slope on the grow space would create moisture retention in some lower areas and dry spots in the upper areas. The space has 4 very mature trees 2 crab apple, 1 fig, 1 douglas fir (they all create shade and have nutrient intake) This was put in consideration so we worked around them.
From seedling to harvest we use a lunar calendar to start seeds, re pot or put on the ground, to prune, weed of harvest there is a lunar cycle to be considered (my wife's skill).
We have used every element available on site to create our own fertilizer and soil enhancing methonds like selective use of weeds to create teas, companion plants like calandula, bourache, lemon balm, comfrey, horse tail, clover, we even have a tobbaco plant growing (this serves as a bug spray if needed). We try to arrange everything so they work together and thrive. We didnt use machines as we didnt wanted to disturbe whats undergound.
The most important element is energy. We have transfered a considerable amount of energy from us humans to the grow space (microsystem) by working on it, manifesting, thinking and acting with nothing more than respect for it and wishful thinking that the crops will evidently give us high quality food. Thats the holistic side of organic farming. We play instruments around the plants and we believe that one can vibrate at the same frequency as the space we intervene so most of the answers are there next to the problem.
The cannabis plants are just a small fraction of the total work we are doing on this space. What I share here is related to cannabis but if I could I would drop many many more lines about the work and observations regarding our small scale organic farming practices and techniques, Its all transferable to cannabis and they sure are benefeting from it.
I try to keep it simple and dont wanna pass as pushy when it comes to how I grow and what I use. I put it out there for the sake of passing the information.
Big Defol on this one.
