Braaap...zai

Ok how will I punish you today?

Friday photo op. Showed me her lady parts yesterday. About 24 days I think. She did not like the trimming at all which is good.

And after. Please don't Hermie please don't Hermie.

I need to keep braapzai from growing sideways as mango and the girls are taking up all of the space. I'm literally turning mango inside out trying to keep her under control. So I went all edward scissor hand s on her. Here's some before.

It will be interesting to see what you do. My camera auto tags photos - I always find it amusing when the tag goes from plant, plant, to bonsai.

Got some verigation going on.

Let the punishment begin. Something I never do during veg.

[Going2fast]

homegrown all over it buddy.

Shouldn't be a problem Going2fast , just stay diligent on the LST..every little bit of growth, bend it and tie it down. You can make them to go in any direction you want as long as you do it while stems are young and flexible. I did 8 photos in my 6x3 tent last year using super heavy LST. I twisted each one into a pin wheel while keeping them in a flat surface for light penetration. Fantastic buds with no popcorn waste.

Twist me turn me bend me break me......

Gingerbeard yeah that's why I chose it. They are impossible to kill. After a nuclear war there's going to be nothing left but ficus, cockroaches, and Keith Richards.

crucialbunny sorry I forgot to mention it's an auto seed so we are on the clock. Figured I might as well use strong genetics at least.

5 years ago, a friend moved and gave me her 4' tall, 12 year old, indoor ficus when she moved. It was 6-1/2' tall when painters destroyed it with overspray. I had moved the plant outside to water and didn't know about the painters. I got 8 cuttings that are doing well. They got their cut ends dipped in a piece of aloe, then into coco/perlite and have been getting 1/2 strength the veg nutes I'm using on my weed.
The original plant was cut down to about two feet where there was a small mass of new growth. I might have to do some root washing to see if I can pull something like that off.
I've given away several cuttings from that plant, over the years. Best gifts you can gives are ones you make.

I got a mini growing right now...bad genetics but I'm letting it grow for the hell of it

I did some experimenting trying to hybridize miniature weed plants for bonsai purposes and unfortunately ended up this year with nothing but plants that were so small I couldn't do anything with them. I need to go back to square one I think. My advice would be to get some strains known for their small size like Royal Dwarf, Amnesia Haze, Critical Kush, or White Dwarf, and work from there. You don't need to limit yourself to 75 days because you can keep them going indefinitely with long light cycles. The plant in the pic is one I grew for seed stock 2 years ago and never did attempt to bonsai. The thumb sized buds from this were exceptional. One of the main problems with using "normal" strains is that it's extremely difficult to limit leaf size to produce the bonsai aesthetic. I'm really looking forward to see how your experiment moves ahead.
