BelSun_420 Hey mates Itโs time to choose!
If youโve 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! ๐
For a while now, Iโve been thinking about giving it another shotโฆ 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, itโs my first grow with sponsored seeds, and Iโm excited to start this new project ๐
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. Iโm still deciding on the pot (theyโre a bit pricey, to be honest).
To make this a little more fun, Iโm 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 Iโll turn into a bonsai! or should I say Kannabonsai?! ๐
( If there are no votesโฆ well, Iโll just pick one myself ๐ )
Here are the links to the strains :

Today, April 25th, I decided to symbolically start the germination of the seed โ itโs Freedom Day here in Portugal! Hopefully, weโll see many more โApril 25thsโ when it comes to this beautiful plant that connects us!
For germination, Iโm testing Kannabiaโs seed germinator. Basically, you moisten the cotton discs with 15ml of water, place the seeds inside, and add the germination liquid provided by Kannabia. Letโs see how effective this method is! So far, I really like the little detail of the top disc showing the temperature.

For now, there's not much to sayโฆ just keeping the soil moist and thatโs about it. The pot it's currently in is just a temporary one โ once the roots are well-established, Iโll move her into the actual bonsai pot

Thereโs 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. Maybe by the end of the week, I can start training her, but most likely only next week, she's still very young. โบ๏ธ๐๐งก

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 bitโI hope (never thought I'd say that) ๐คฃ
As for the wires, maybe they're not meant to be used at this stage. It's quite tricky to put them onโyou 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.๐ค

BelSun_420 I started training her at the end of last week, sheโs growing well, which honestly makes me curious to try growing this Ginger again but not as a bonsai. This week, Iโll be transplanting her into the final pot and placing her in the Buddhaโs hands. โบ๏ธ
(I'm going to use the same pot from the last bonsai. They're a bit expensive)
Iโll share more about that on the 27th or 28th!

BelSun_420 Hey folks,
Transplant done today, May 30th, into the final pot. Now sheโs in Buddhaโs hands ๐๏ธ๐
This one was tricky to transferโI knew it would be tough since I let the roots grow too much due to lack of time to properly focus on this project and the extra time wait for the order with the Leca base to arrive!
That made it hard to separate the soil from the rootball and position it over Buddha. I really shouldโve done it at week two, or starting in a smaller pot to avoid all that root chaos! ๐
But hey, letโs see how she responds and what the final result will be!

When I cleaned the roots, she wilted a bitโas expectedโbut just a few hours later, that same night, her leaves were perky again, showing that everything went smoothly and she's full of strength! ๐ Today I cut a small branch and a leaf that were growing in the direction I want to twist the plant into a spiral, as you can see in the video. A few more hours and she should be perky again ๐

BelSun_420 Hey Growmies,
Last week I transplanted her into the final pot and everything went well โ though I shouldโve done it a bit earlier to handle the roots more easily. Anyway, it went fine. Later in the week, I tried to do a bit more training, but things almost went south and gave me a real scare for a few days ๐ฌ
Since the transplant was still fresh, she wasnโt stable enough yet, and the training stressed her out โ she completely wilted for a while. But sheโs back now, shining in all her glory ๐งกโจ๐งก

One more training session ๐ช๐ฑ
Hey Growmies, first time I'm seeing these signs, what do you think? I've already searched using ChatGPTand some sites, so I would appreciate human help :P
tips are burning.plants should be fine on a 18/6 light schedule no need for 24 or 20. calculate your DLI its the best metric to go off of. above 30 under 40 is fine.

@Kirsten, Thanks, mate! Letโs see if it was mostly luck the first time or if this second run turns out even better โ fingers crossed! ๐ค๐ปbig hug!
Great initiative, mate, we love it! ๐ At Kannabia, weโre excited to see which of our girls will become a beautiful โKannabonsaiโ ๐ฑโจ. We can't wait for the cultivatorsโ 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!๐
