Cleopatra/Crown Bonsai

melodygrows Seeing her freaky little baby leaves was so fun, the new growths as me on edge a bit

melodygrows The “weeks” will not be accurate because it’s being vegged slowly over a long time to reach a desired shape/outcome, but they will all be in order of progression!

melodygrows Every time she’s tall enough, tie her down again

melodygrows Growin and growin, since I’m posting these as she’s much bigger now and just trying to get them all posted I don’t have as much to say as I would’ve in the moment

melodygrows Trying to add more at once so document faster hah- it’s been like almost 5 months in the making, maybe 6? You’ll see :)

melodygrows Still growin, still tying down…

melodygrows Moved to a slightly larger container at some point in January, she’ll be moved again to a 1gal as well, I know not traditional bonsai size but it makes her growth take off and easier for me to continue what I’m doing ✨

melodygrows Pretty little baby 🎶

melodygrows Hopefully not repeating pictures, I’ve taken so many of her haha

melodygrows Still unsure if I’ve copied any pics but here soon it’ll be pics in the new set up which are easier for me to identify haha

melodygrows Ok next group of pics will be from after the move haha

melodygrows This is when I git her upped to a 1 gal (black pot) sometime around 3/23

melodygrows Two houses, 3-4 set ups, 4 containers, this lady been through it all 😂

melodygrows Next update should bring us to present day! 🌱✨

melodygrows Aaaaaannnnd that brings us to now! She got a hair cut this week, and I cut a mini clone from her cuz why not- the lights in this tent are on 16/8 as an experimental thing kind of right now also, she seems to be enjoying it actually- if I can complete the circle by 4/17 she will be placed in the flower tent with the testers to flower out 🌱 also it says LST for week 5, it’s been LST every week but I’m not fixing it 😂

melodygrows Not a many pictures this week but a little video, 2nd phase of shaping beginning! 💚 plus a lil shot of her in with the fems/autos (I have a whole 4x4 of plants not shown on here 😅)

melodygrows Gave her quite a hair cut at one point, trying to redirect growth a little better, have fun ideas, she’ll be around a while- hopefully get a few little clones off her before I flower the project out 💚

melodygrows She was getting quite hungry for a bit, fed her some Gaia so it’s going to take a few for her to start bouncing back fully but she’s already perking up a bit!

melodygrows Contemplating letting her flower out soon since I’ve got a new bonsai idea in mind and I’m not sure how else I’d want to train her other than continuing to weave her through herself. We shall see…

melodygrows She got moved to the flower tent! I wasn’t sure what else to do on her really and I have a new bonsai idea in mind so we’re going to flower her out before we start the new one. She’s very very happy to be allowed to flower now 😅 technically I should mark next week when she’s got bud sites starting as week one of flower but there’s so many weeks of veg and flower for this girl I don’t think the exact transition week matters too much 😅

melodygrows She’s very happy to be allowed to flower 😂😅 Fed her just a little Gaia Green power bloom this week since she was looking hungry. I’m super excited to see how the freakshow buds look all formed in person!
