Outdoor Bonsai: Root Pruning instead of Repotting?? Thoughts??
Smartiestarted grow question 4 years ago
I figured I would start off my first grow question with a bang:
I'm thinking about turning Barry into Bonsai Barry. So basically, put him in the 7Gal pot and root prune where ideally you would repot (I would say 2-3 times knowing that I'm early).. 3..... 2...... 1....... SHOOT

hey there Smartie, root pruning totally works but it's even more fun in hydro. in soil the roots are in the soil so contrary to hydro you cant just pick up the plant take your scissors and cut the roots. Try both you'll see a huge difference. Root pruning in soil you can also do chemically with a chelation agent that can break down the roots for you as you go along. you can get really impressive results using humic acid regularly. hope this helps ! 🚀

I have fabric pots which is pretty much the next best thing if not the same. I'm just a bit worried that 7Gal as end pot is too small for 20 weeks of veg (yes, I'm too early 😁) and that in flower there will be not enough medium to provide water and nutes. Have 2 more plants that I will keep in the 7Gal just wanted to do something radical with this one. 😉 I know about bonsai moms for clones but can't find much about growing bonsai style and flower in the same season.. Cheers for the reply! 👍

I just flipped her two days ago and she started growing a bit faster. And looks quite bushy down there.
Should I do it now before she started growing buds? Or should I wait a bit? Or no need to do that at all?

If i wanted to lollipop this, how much should i take off? - lollipopping, scrogWhen and how much should i take off? - Considering she is not very tall, but very dense.
She has been defoliated quite heavily, both before and during flower stretch but i feel like she needs more.

Ready for flushing?It’s my first grow and I’m not quit sure if I’d already flush the plant. And how long do you all think I should keep it growing from now on?
As autumn already hit and the weather will be cloudy and not warmer than 15*C over the day. ( Installed a light and it’s in an greenhouse)

White bumps/lesions on stem base Day 19 veg auto, is it an issue?White spots/lesions growing on stem base but not on leaves or anywhere else?
This started within the last 1-3 days.
The stem "splitting" on the skin was present since it was sagging and bounced back fine.
Worried this is mold/infection from soil. Packed more soil onto the top (!)
