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
At the start of week 2 she is growing very nicely...and the second pair of leafs are starting to show....such lovely little girl...only gave her ph balanced water in a syringe(10ml)
At the start of week 3 she is growing out very nicely....and i am basicly going to let her grow out untill she is at 50-60cm height before i start training her back down.....🙏❤️
Day 19:removed the first 3 nodes....
At the start of week 4 did Some clean up but she is doing great....just going to let her grow out before i top and start growing out and downward
Day 23: she looks allmost like a little palmtree....🤣
At the start of week 5 she is doing great....forgot to water her and since she is a little closer to the sun she Dries out faster....but she is on her way again....🙏❤️
Still going strong and looking great did Some defo last week and still about 15 cm to go before my goal of 50cm before the first top and i can start working her down again...🙏❤️
Week 12 and still growing out very nicely....giving her just plain water so far to slow down her growth rate just a slight bit so she can focus on bringing out her nicely colourshading
Week 13 and doing great....gave her first feeding this week so she would grow a little faster arround the curv but overall doing great....
Placed a piece of heavy duty bonsai shaping wire so i can have her follow the design nicely and almost perfectly shape her bend
Week 14 and recovering very nicely from her training and bending session....got her arround the bend so now comes a easier part of the journey....a slow bend to both side so she can cross in the middle in and i can complete the bottom part....🙏❤️
Week 15 and training is coming along very nicely.....now as she grow towards the main stem i am going to let cross in front and onbehind to not have a fat lumb at the front of the shape hopefully by the end of the week maybe begin next week .....its just grow with the journey....its a fun one.....still allmost halfway so the journey in front of us is still long and beautifull.....🙏❤️
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
Week 17 and binding her further down every 2 days and removing the nodes as she grows out....have given her another round of tomatonutrients so she can pick up Some pace to get arround the mainstem and i can work her downward again
Secured the second part of the butterfly design to the stem so i can guide her perfectly down the lower part if the wings of the butterfly....🦋🦋🙏❤️
Week 21 on this girl and doing amazing....allmost at the point on the butterfly wings that i can work my way down again.....but she is looking stellar and very easy to train....node removal is also every couple days to not overcrowed her and she keep concentrating on growing outward....🙏❤️
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....🙏❤️🙏
Week 23 and on point and right where i want her to be
Started to work my way down again and Will be bending and binding her down the curb every 2 days so she follows the design like clockwork and she can come up again to the mainstem.....🙏❤️🦋
Week 24 and looking so healty and lush green of colour that the ease of growing and training her is simply like taking candy from a baby.....🙏🤣❤️
Have removed Some nodes at both sides and bended and secured her further to the design.....and she is coming along very nicely....almost around her bend....🦋🦋🙏❤️
Week 25 and the design is coming along very nicely.....looking amazing and lush green all the way and been bending and binding her with 2 to 3 day in between sessions to let her recover but still bendy enough to keep her in shape....🙏❤️
Happy 6 month birthday to my caterpillar.....she is turning into a real beauty.....🦋🦋
Training is going further as i removed the next nodes and binded her to the design
Allmost tru the bend and looking amazing at this point.....just lovely when a simple dream can come to reality......🦋🦋🙏❤️
Week 27 and still doing amazing.....on point and still been bending and binding her 2 the design every 2-3 days not to overdo her in 1 time but still have her bendy and managable so i can work her.....🙏🦋❤️
Something horrible has happen and she got destroyed......completely.....no chance in saving her or re-veg.....she is death......😭😭28 weeks of training down the drain.....i am so mad at myself
@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.
@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.
Awe man!!! I seen this pick in a contest and had to find your diary and follow your success. Im so sorry for your loss!!!! This is by far one of the most intriguing diaries out there!!! I hope you can find it in you to somehow retry this! Good luck in the future!
🌱🔥🤤
Impressed with the shape so far. The internet did not teach me about this canna bonsai sub culture, until today. 9.8/10 for now, I reserve the right to change my rating upon flowering.
@NASATrainer,its a complete other level of skill and training than standard growing but sure lots of fun....try masters as @cariboo_og and cannabonsai for guidance.....or me....lol.....🙏❤️Thank you for the appreciation.....🙏🙏
