I can't find anything about caribo g on Instagram, don't know what the smiley means . Also searching ruby the cube brings up a bunch of people named ruby cube. Do you have his user name? Pretty interested in seeing his work myself

The second one is big bigger wooden hangbucket that holded a sponge a backwashthing and a scraper for in the bathroom the i am not using anymore so i lined the wood with a plastic baggie and gave basicly the same set up as the other bonsai grow in the larger of Stones on the bottom and piping(straw)....this on holds a little more soil but i love the fact the you can just hang it on the side of the closet and just forget about it....
Have not receive the seeds for it yet but its going to be another gratefull thank you to my sponsor....

Yes i have...even something ordinary like perlite can block there way significantly....and has a double function because its white and reflective 2....and cheap(not the the white Stones cost that much)...

I really like all sorts of "layered substrate approaches" because of the different functions one can use with it, like e.g. keeping pests out, drainage, keepin humidity in etc. Currently watching a thread (not here) where a guy pots up like 3-5 times always using selfmade organic soil which he adapts to the various stages of the plants development (ie. rich in N in veg week 2-5, then uppotting to more P, K, S & Mg during flower.
I need to learn this as well. much less hassle than bottle feed plus plants can regulate a bit on their own what to do with the stuff the roots find in the earth...

So are you just winging this or do you have some sort of information to follow ? I know this is a combination of two different fields but your post has renewed my interest in trying a couple of Bonsai cannabis plants. Not really interested in harvesting, just the perpetual bonsai state.

I look forward to see your progress and thank you for sharing.

Welcome to a journey into the wonderfull world of bending,binding twisting and turning or better know as BONSAI cannabis

The vessel is a 0.5L low based japanese rice bowl and the contestant for the new project is the Somango xxl by weedseedsexpress

Somango xxl:
The female Somango plant is a cross between Somango and Critical 47. This creates an Indica-dominant plant (75%) that has 25% Sativa genes. Somango XXL feminized seeds are a favorite of both the novice and the advanced. The seeds develop strong plants which are easy to maintain and produce XXL yields.

Somango XXL feminized seeds
The Somango XXL plant is characterized by its compact shape and has a good portion of beauty and elegance. Indoors, the plant will get about 100 cm high and develops robust buds with an enormous size. Outside, the female plant can even get up to 200 centimeters high. As soon as the plant starts to ripen, the plant gets a beautiful purple color with buds richly covered with a large layer of THC crystals.

Advice: Keep an eye on the humidity in order to keep the plant healthy and prevent mold.

Flowering time
In order to optimize your yield, a flowering time of 9 weeks is recommended.Though after 8 weeks the female plant is already ripe and ready. The best harvest month outdoors is in October.

Somango xxl yields
Indoors, in a SOG setup, with the right amount of water, nutrients and air humidity, yields can reach as much as 575 grams per m2. Having the Somango XXL feminized seeds outside? Then the yields can even exceed to 600 grams per plant.

Effect, taste and smell of Somango XXL weed
When you consume the weed, the effects of this dominant Indica are quickly noticeable. You will experience a fine, clear high combined with a calming feeling, but you won’t feel sluggish or tired. The high can therefore be described as euphoric and classic, but without the side effects of drowsiness. Because of the 18% THC content, the high is powerful, strong and will last for several hours.

I like to thank weedseedsexpress by this way for there trust and to send me this lovely strain to experiment with and hopefully transform into a work of art....now before we start this is not a grow about yeild but a grow to hopefully show skill...determination and devotion to a long run project....and to show how versitile cannabis truelly is....and how easy it is to bend and twist into your own desired shape....

The soil is a secret homemade compost soil that is low in nutrients that is needed for a slow but good and healty development of the girl and i already have a basic shape in mind and i hope that my imagination meets my reality and dreams in this grow....

I am going to let her sprouth in a little easy start plug so i can start her at the bottom of the bonsai tray just keeping her first leafes just above the surface to start and cover the surface with white pebbles...i also Made a little irigationsystem out of a straw so she has all the best need available and i am lining the bottom with white pebbles so the water can somewhat flow over the bottom and and just over the straw so is does not get clogged up with soil....the stones will also make the water disperse more evenly inside that pot. This design will guarantee that the bottom layer is first full evenly of water with that subsequently then being pulled up the soil.....welcome to all...

A friend of mine does not use nutes in soil grows....in soil that you buy there is normaly enough in 1 bag for a plant to get tru an entire cycle without the need of extra nutes beeing added...

Blue spider has entered my wonderfull and magical world....
Peakaboo

Filled the little hole wit soil

Just peaking above the Stones but she is here....

looks like their going to be a vigorous hope they grow nice

I slightly altered my vessel for the somango xxl....since she is a xxl...and going to be formed into a specific shape....i desided to give her a bigger base so i am using a 2L bonsai tray and that holds excactly 1.5L of special compost soil...and basicly the same set up....
The new vessel
Irigationsystem
Covered with stones
Special soil mix
Covered with stones to prevent evaporation
Somango is planted and waiting to break soil....

I'm really digging all the pots and decorations you use, like a little zen garden very cool SS!

Welcome to my bending and binding world little miss somango...going to let her grow up untill she reaches about 60-65cm then top and start her training so basicly the first 5-6-7weeks are boring...

Hello miss blue spider she is going to be a tribune to a friend who allways calms me down when i need it...and even tho we have never met...we can talk to eachother without hessitation
