Northern Lights Bonsai

First week startet out well and there were no problems or highlights

I decided to try out, how she reacts to changing positions/gravity. Seems to be fun i think.

The defoliation of 4 leaves was too much and she started her emergency program. From now on the leaves will not grow big anymore

This week she gets no treatment to let her recover a bit.

She is growing slow, but steady

She was too heavy and turned herself over night 180 degrees. Looked funny so i let it be, as it was.

She looks so funny, a real pleasure 😎 She uses nutrients, but she don´t grow or react in any way to the lack of water or so. Like a plastic flower from Ikea but looks even more weird 😆

Today i gave her a little bit attention and let her out of the jungle for 5 minutes. The shape is fascinating and i will experiment more with this technique in the future 😁 She slowly change her colours and i think she will be done next week.

On day 56 my setup got another light. I took the Lumatek out and changed it for a second Mars Hydro TSL 2000. Now i can use more space in the tent and the light is spreaded way more even than before. I now got about 1000 PPFD at the canopy top and around 800-900 PPFD square. They are running at about 80 % atm. Each side is seperately dimmable and i can set the ankle relatively individually for each plant so i can better react to the different grow heights, which comes automatically with 4 different strains. She got a defoliation and another place to ripen up the lower part of the plant, just to see if it works. She has done her job as a crash test dummy extremly well, what a pleasure 😍

She is getting old and i stopped watering. The leaves are getting yellow and red and i planned to dry her alive in the pot in the tent. We will see how it turns out 😅

I let her starve for 3 days and then i cut and trimmed her wet, hng to dry for 24h, put her in a bigger box for 24h with opening it 3x. Now she is in a jar with 58% bovedas and get burped, till she is stable under 62%.
