Insane looks very cool, I need to try something like this.Ah Burnzy tagged me in this post earlier in the week. Sorry it took so long to respond. I guess I'm the resident bonsai freak lol!
A couple of things... if you check out this plant, it's about a year old. It's a fem Squirt by Humboldt Seed Company. Really heavy dank weed. Awesome fornsmoke. Awesome for pressing rosin.
I have NO plans to ever flower her. But you will notice a couple of things. 1) No nute deficiencies. Had a row with spider mites but that's a different story for and a different day. 2) Really little leaves.
The way that part happens is with root trims every 60 to 90 days. After a while it gets to be once every 6 months and then once a year.
Combine that with monthly pruning and a 3 inch tall pot and you've got a legit bonsai.
What cannabis bonsai ARE good at is producing aged clones. It is true that the older the plant the higher the thc output and potency. I'm running one of her clones now and cant wait to see how quickly this one frosts up.
I like keeping bonsais of my favorite strains... a lot :) Works for males too.
So how to do it? Mainline lol without removal of the second nodes. Seedling gets transplanted to bonsai container. Then grow to 6 nodes, top to the third. Remove the growth under node 3... all of it. Then work your remaining two branches straight out and tie/wire it in place. Take that top and clone it immediately. As soon as you have that clone rooted, let it veg for a week and then flip it to flower. You want to sex that thing before you get too deep into it.
As far as pruning? Just remember you cut 1 then you have 2. Be careful or you'll make a weak unusable bush. This one is about a week away from her monthly hair cut. She's just about out of control and ready to give up easily more than a dozen clones.
I will be collecting a few for myself when I have the chops...Insane looks very cool, I need to try something like this.
Wow that's amazing. I have been interested in doing that very thing. These are 60 day automatics, however. I am wondering if someone on a lesser website was pulling chains. I believe the technique I described works as stated, making the cannabinoid distribution equal to all buds as long as they are maintained at the same level. Is that anything you can verify and name, by chance?
Just take one step at a time. Autos are a great place to start and you're doing it. I recommend you grow out your first ones naturally. Don't worry about cutting anything until they pre flower
I'm not really sure? I recall it only being one word having to do with the potency of the cola Bud versus the rest of the buds on the plant. When you make all the buds level and therefore the top of the plant then every bud gets treated as the
Cola bud therefore maximizing your yield because that way every flower gets treated the same as the cola potecy as long as you can level them all out on the same horizontal plane. If "apical domiminance" means and or refers to that SPECIFIC process, then that is indeed the term I am looking for. It is what I am attempting to accomplish anyway...
