BelSun_420 Hey mates It’s time to choose!
If you’ve already checked out my profile, you probably remember that some time ago I attempted my very first bonsai, a project I really enjoyed and that I think turned out quite nicely! 🙂
For a while now, I’ve been thinking about giving it another shot… and guess what? Kannabia reached out to me to create a new bonsai using one of their strains!
I want to thank them for this opportunity, it’s my first grow with sponsored seeds, and I’m excited to start this new project 💚
The main idea behind this project is to use a Buddha statue as the base, with the roots resting in its hands and eventually growing downwards into the pot. I’m still deciding on the pot (they’re a bit pricey, to be honest).
To make this a little more fun, I’m going to leave 3 comments with the strains I could use for this grow.
The one with the most likes by April 10th will be the one I’ll turn into a bonsai! or should I say Kannabonsai?! 😁
( If there are no votes… well, I’ll just pick one myself 😅 )
Here are the links to the strains :

Today, April 25th, I decided to symbolically start the germination of the seed — it’s Freedom Day here in Portugal! Hopefully, we’ll see many more “April 25ths” when it comes to this beautiful plant that connects us!
For germination, I’m testing Kannabia’s seed germinator. Basically, you moisten the cotton discs with 15ml of water, place the seeds inside, and add the germination liquid provided by Kannabia. Let’s see how effective this method is! So far, I really like the little detail of the top disc showing the temperature.

Let the first week begin! 🎉
For now, there's not much to say… just keeping the soil moist and that’s about it. The pot it's currently in is just a temporary one — once the roots are well-established, I’ll move her into the actual bonsai pot

There’s not much to say about last Week, I just tried to keep the soil moist, and this week will be the same. She had a good growth in height, which isn't ideal for bonsai training, so I moved her closer to the light to prevent further stretching. Meanwhile, I’m letting her develop a stronger root system before transplanting to the bonsai pot. Maybe by the end of the week, I can start training her, but most likely only next week, she's still very young. ☺️💚🧡

I started applying Bio RHIZOTONIC by Canna. I diluted about 1.5 ml in 1 liter of water.

So, I decided to do something with the bonsai to take my mind off work hahaha. It's the first time I'm using these bonsai wires, and I haven't quite got the hang of it yet, which made me mess with the plant a bit too much, but nothing serious. Let's see how she recovers by the end of the week. She was getting too tall, so this should also slow down her growth a bit—I hope (never thought I'd say that) 🤣
As for the wires, maybe they're not meant to be used at this stage. It's quite tricky to put them on—you either do it directly while holding the plant at the same time, or you wrap the wire around a stick or something like a mold and then wrap it around the plant, but you end up shaking the plant a lot anyway. I need to research some techniques for this.🤔
Great initiative, mate, we love it! 😍 At Kannabia, we’re excited to see which of our girls will become a beautiful “Kannabonsai” 🌱✨. We can't wait for the cultivators’ decision!
@MonyetDiablero, We're still choosing one strain out of the three possible options so I can officially take on the role of her plant daddy haha! Big hug, mate!💚
