Welcome to a journey into the wonderfull world of bending,binding twisting and turning or better know as BONSAI cannabis The vessel is a 1.5L bonsai tray and the contestant for the new project is the Somango xxl by weedseedsexpress....i desided to use a slightly bigger pot because after all she is a xxl strain....🙏❤️ Somango xxl: The female Somango plant is a cross between Somango and Critical 47. This creates an Indica-dominant plant (75%) that has 25% Sativa genes. Somango XXL feminized seeds are a favorite of both the novice and the advanced. The seeds develop strong plants which are easy to maintain and produce XXL yields. Somango XXL feminized seeds The Somango XXL plant is characterized by its compact shape and has a good portion of beauty and elegance. Indoors, the plant will get about 100 cm high and develops robust buds with an enormous size. Outside, the female plant can even get up to 200 centimeters high. As soon as the plant starts to ripen, the plant gets a beautiful purple color with buds richly covered with a large layer of THC crystals. Advice: Keep an eye on the humidity in order to keep the plant healthy and prevent mold. Flowering time In order to optimize your yield, a flowering time of 9 weeks is recommended.Though after 8 weeks the female plant is already ripe and ready. The best harvest month outdoors is in October. Somango xxl yields Indoors, in a SOG setup, with the right amount of water, nutrients and air humidity, yields can reach as much as 575 grams per m2. Having the Somango XXL feminized seeds outside? Then the yields can even exceed to 600 grams per plant. Effect, taste and smell of Somango XXL weed When you consume the weed, the effects of this dominant Indica are quickly noticeable. You will experience a fine, clear high combined with a calming feeling, but you won’t feel sluggish or tired. The high can therefore be described as euphoric and classic, but without the side effects of drowsiness. Because of the 18% THC content, the high is powerful, strong and will last for several hours. I like to thank weedseedsexpress by this way for there trust and to send me this lovely strain to experiment with and hopefully transform into a work of art....now before we start this is not a grow about yeild but a grow to hopefully show skill...determination and devotion to a long run project....and to show how versitile cannabis truelly is....and how easy it is to bend and twist into your own desired shape....🙏❤️ The soil is a secret homemade compost soil that is low in nutrients that is needed for a slow but good and healty development of the girl....i also mixed a slight bit of sand under the compost soil for better drainage and i already have a basic shape in mind and i hope that my imagination meets my reality and dreams in this grow.... I am going to let her sprouth in a little easy start plug so i can start her halfway of the bonsai tray just keeping her first leafes just above the surface to start and cover the surface with white pebbles...i also Made a little irigationsystem out of a straw so she has all the best needs available and i am lining the bottom with white pebbles so the water can somewhat flow over the bottom and and just over the straw so is does not get clogged up with soil....the stones will also make the water disperse more evenly inside that pot. This design will guarantee that the bottom layer is first full evenly of water with that subsequently then being pulled up the soil.....welcome to all...🙏🙏🙏🙏 Day 2:filled up the little hole with soilmix and white pebbles to just under her first leafes

Week 16 and doing amazing....have hooked her up further down the line and removed a few nodes....she is growing down like a champ I also place another bonsai binding wire to guide her on the line so she can cross the stem(one in front and one on the back) and come down in the lower section of the design.... I was binding this girl for a close friend....as a gift for her years of listening to me and dealing with my problems.....she died yesterday to due to Corona....she was 29.....i wanted to show on the hand of this butterfly design what she ment to me.....miss you allready.....😭😭😭відпочивайте в мирі мого дорогого друга і одного дня ми зустрінемося знову.... я сподіваюся, що ваш бій не дарма

Bonsai is coming along ever so nicely and training is going further as we reached the bend....now i am 2times a day bending the ends downward and giving her Some gentle twists so she can grow out but still stays bendy and soft so i can secure her to the design in a couple of days maybe a week but such an easy one to work with....🙏❤️🙏

@Silky_smooth, your mistake is your ignorance and then you resulting to insults because you have nothing logical to say. Instead of throwing insulted out, try throwing knowledge or wisdom out. I have made my point and put you in your ignorant place, I am done here. Marijuana growing is a beautiful thing, and the community is beautiful too, you are not part of that beauty. Good day and good riddance.

Troy_Farmscommented4 years ago
@Silky_smooth, would love to take it up with @growdiaries with the number of back to back insults you have said, I have continued to say the say thing. I have a right to my own opinion and killing a marijuana plant intentionally is not cool. Neither is trying to gang up on a new member to this site. Now you want to be all proper, that is great but does not excuse your previous comments and continuous jabbing.
