Decided to try my hand at a Strawberry Nuggets Bonsai, I bought a single pack last year and as anyone who buys directly from Mephisto will know you get 2 seeds in their single packs.
I gave one to a friend and it grew as expected, short and thick.
After seeing how beautiful her sister is growing, I got the itch and decided to pop her knowing I don’t have the space.
Hence the Bonsai experiment!
I planted the seed into a peat pellet and put her in my heated propagation box. The seed broke ground today which is two days later.
I’ve planted her into her final pot, it’s a tiny thing. I removed the mesh sleeve around the pellet before planting.
I generally use Ecothrive 70/30 coco/perlite mix and only use dechlorinated water for the first week or so.
I plan on letting her grow for a few weeks before I do any training.
Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚
Started a bit of very sloppy LST, can’t for the life in me find the string I usually use or the wire I’ve got 🤦♂️🤷♂️
It appears to be doing the do though 👍
She’s continuing on the same nutrient feed as last week and appears healthy.

All appears well with this girl, she appears to have responded well to my crude attempts at LST.
I plan on continuing to tie her down and eventually wrap her back around the other side of the pot. Hard to visualise.
She’s continuing on the same nutrient feed as last week. I’ve removed maybe two leaves that would have blocked light lower down the plant.
Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚
She’s started showing pre flower signs.
When she stretches a bit more il continue her training.
I’ve removed two small leaves that would have grown and potentially blocked a lot of light.
Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚
Not a lot to report with this girl, all the lst appears to have slowed her growth, but she’s still chugging along.
I’ve increased the strength of her nutrient feed and added some Canna Boost at 1ml/ltr.
Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚
Not a lot to report, her bud sites have formed now, what little stretch she had in her appears to have finished.
She’s continuing with the same nutrient feed for her next watering, but I plan on increasing the strength a bit going forward.
Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚
She’s finished her second week of flush.
I’ve removed all the yellowing leaves and any ties that were holding her down.
I plan on letting her dry out and die as she stands.
I don’t usually get chance to put any plants into 24/48 hours darkness before harvest due to the perpetual nature of my grows, but this little lady will see out her final days in complete darkness.
She will be moved into my drying tent within the next few days.
She’s been a lovely little plant to grow, didn’t get a lot of time to do any training as she started to flower quite early on.
It does state that this strain grows short and squat.
Never had any bother with feeding, she drank heartily in the tiny pot and never saw any signs of deficiencies.
Got a few more seeds left so will attempt a bigger run in the future.
I’d like to thank Mephisto Genetics for another interesting strain, she looks and smells fantastic!
I’d like to thank everyone who has liked, commented or just stopped by for a look, hope this diary has been helpful.
Been a pleasure as always, until next time 🌱💚
