I’ve been learning the ways of bonsai with these potential mothers of Sour Apple / Bazookaz / Upside Down Frown. They are in 4” rockwool cubes within Dutch leech trays under a T5. They are about 3 months old. Most will get culled in a few weeks, but those who make it will hopefully live very long lives.
I plan to pheno hunt a few more seed runs and try to keep as many bonsai moms as possible. Then when I want to run the strain I’ll just take a single clone for the little mom, which I’ll grow out to become a temporary mother that I’ll destroy after taking clones for the next cycle.
I could keep around 30 bonsai mothers under 1 T5. They take a decent amount of time to prune, but I’m using it as my little meditative Mr. Miyagi inspired zen practice. I tag them numerically and will take pictures of each flowering mothers and some notes so that I’ll remember what’s what.
if all goes well I’ll be preserving a lot of Cannarado genetics. The only possible problem I see is how this could get out of hand.
