Oh, you are just adorable!
Thank you, exactly what someone can't seem to grasp. Anyone can grow this many tops; no one should (probably) ever want to. I very possibly hurt my yield in the long run, but I had a space it had to fit and either I over-topped it or I threw it away.
My entire point was that even after topping the shit out of it, it was still vigorous and quickly growing more tops.
bon·sai
bänˈsī,ˈbänˌsī/
noun
- an ornamental tree or shrub grown in a pot and artificially prevented from reaching its normal size.
- the art of growing ornamental, artificially dwarfed trees or shrubs.
Obviously I repot before I flower, but yes 4oz, 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" x 3" pots for proven males for a large portion of their early life. I just need a bit of pollen, there's no reason to take up a ton of space and resources until that time. It also makes inspection much easier and reduces chances of accidental pollination. Once I find a male I like, it goes into a 3" x 3" x 5" pot where it can be held for a yet undetermined period of time (5+ months so far) while providing clones. And all in a quarter of the space I used to use.
