Very obviously. Stressed due to a lot of factors. Each grow as you know will have different aims. And this one is an experiment so stress and other factors will be added. Gets multiple feeds a day along with plenty of lst

Looks great for what you're trying to do! Are you going to re veg it after flowering is done and continue like a traditional bonsai? I've always wanted to try one.

This ones seems healthy and good growth!





took it out the solo cup(was all root so watering was a hassle!) hopefully helps with water retention!

I have no idea with a plan yet! It was just clones then I noticed I started doing something with it so kept at it and I’ve enjoyed prolonging the life and learning with how strong they really are!

All been essential learning with only just finishing up my first ever grow. And it’s currently in day 6 of drying!!!

Little trees doing nicely. Added a little captive tank to allow a bigger feed incase I can’t be there

Got the big girl going nicely at the back. Just got the pistols yesterday or day before so just hit flower i think.

Excited to see what I can pull off with the small tree style

Purely aesthetics wise they're gorgeous. I love the look of old gnarly wood on them. I would totally re-veg the small ones in shallow bonsai pots when they're done and go again lol

When you've got the touch to feed and care for them this perfectly you can do anything with them!

Not one unhealthy leaf in the whole damn tent! Well done!

I’ll get some good shots next week when I’ve upgraded my set up… just got a little summer house built for my gardening and potting hobby!

I need to start taking note of my feeds as I’m winging the measurements for and I’m sure it’s too low ppm!

Underfeeding is the secret sauce! Keep doing what you're doing.

They like to struggle a little bit. Like grapes

Haha guess they do look ok so why change what isn’t broken… I’ll take a paper note of the dose and I’ll shoot it on here see if it’s as needed

I’ve got a pretty wide advanced nutrients that I’m running but I really want to get into the solid variety that can be mixed into water and acts as the same just cheaper. Also unsure if that’s something I’ve overlooked along the line .

Don't change a thing. You've got that shit dialed in like a pro.

Fuck, those bonsai plants are in like half gallon containers!!!

Thanks man! I’ll keep as I am and trust my self guidance!

Yeah the pots are tiny I’ve opened the bottom of up to allow bigger root reach and used cling film lunch box to trap run off as I can keep on top of feeding as often with the small container so I’ve cut hole and made small hold where the water can evaporate but I can remove the pots easy!

Container size makes no difference if you get the feed and watering right. I pulled 12 oz from one plant in a 1 gallon pot for a "challenge" here on the farm way back when lol.

This plant was watered 16x a day.


Which results in this unfortunately! Welcome to turkey baster hell!!!



That's like 3 days of runoff I was too lazy to clean up before lol. It went all the way up to the top of the bottom tent liner.
