hey everyone. I've mentioned in other threads that I grow to have fun and to have personal medicine. My first grow was a bit of a disaster so I couldn't do much. I had mixed an Auto in with them on accident but I should have said screw the auto and did what I wanted to. Anyways. I got my second run almost ready. My Bonsai plant was just put in the flower room a few days ago and waiting to make sure it's female. It came from a bag of blue dream X sour Deisel that was feminized seed. He got like 3 seeds from the whole plant. So should be feminized with Hermie trait maybe. Anyways.

1. Blue Dream X Sour Diesel
Topped once and one side had trilateral growth so I turned it into a bonsai grow and I am twisting and spiraling both sides as it grows. Nice thick stem so far. I trimmed her up a bit and then next day out her in flower room

2. Is a WHITE WIDOW X BIG BUDS clone
Topped once and I want to also spiral this one in a different way. I'm going to take a paper tow roll. Soak it in antibacterial and and alchol or h202 and then let it dry. I'm going to set it in the middle and spiral both cola tops around the tube together and try to form one giant cola bud with hollow center. It's just for fun. Just concerned about mold so I got the idea to leave it hollow to
Avoid that with air flow thru the center. And the cardboard tube is just temporary until it's formed and growing the pattern I want


I have a few others too but not sure what I'm doing yet with them

And the last pic is what I have flowering and has about 3more weeks until harvest. It's a bit airy but it may get dense enough yet. I've sampled and it has a nice feeling. I love it for morning time. They were originally suppose to be different and Manifolded and bonsai but since I mixed in the auto I couldn't do much. They are but it wasn't done early enough so they are really tall now

Please be respectful in all posts and no drama please. This thread is for fun and for people that love growing fun plants and just being different.

I will attempt the hardest and most impossible just to see if I can. It amazes me how much you can manipulate these plants and bend and twist to grow them how you want them to grow. It's amazing and I love having fun with it

Again this is just to show everyone what you have unique and to chat with others who like playing around and having a bit of fun on the side too.

I am not a Proffessional by any means and don't have many years of experience. But I do know how to grow cannabis well and can grow. Some dank buds. But i stopped for years and just started back
up and getting m the groove again.

My health is bad and is hard to deal with everything I need to and the growing helps and I also get very busy and type posts in between things so forgive me if my posts are long or not very organized. Sometimes I may rant on about something more than I intended. If it's a long post its because I wanted to say something and the short version would be way to confusing. So forgive me for the lengthy posts from me. Lol

Cool thread. I'm glad you've found something that soothes you. I know I enjoy messing around with my plants and find it gratifying to see them take the shape that you've imagined them becoming. Here's one of my plants. Random bagseed strain from my collection of seeds I've gotten through cannabis club sacks, so I know they're fire whatever they are. Could be anything from a cookies strain to a gelato. This plant was topped down to the third node at about 2 weeks old after growing 5 nodes. I then began what I thought was mainlining, but in reality was just LST(I'm a rook and this is my second grow so I'm learning!). Tied down large fan leaves and rearranged growths with rubber coated plant ties through holes I drilled in the pots to achieve 8 colas. Decided to cut the two smallest, with least expectations for clones. I since tweaked the plant daily and now it is what you see in the fourth pic; A 6 main cola plant that I feel puts my last grow(final pic) to shame in the tidy department. Praying for a female! Thanks!

I guess that would be a LOW STRESS MANIFOLD. lol. Looks like it's healthy and as long as ya have fun doing it and get some decent bud. Then that's the whole point I say. It's supposed to be fun. I just started growing mushrooms and over on the other site all the newbies ask a ton of repeat questions. Some of the more experienced start really getting smart and disrespectful towards them. and it almost sounds like they hate helping people online. So why keep doing it. I'm the type if you don't like something someone said. Than move on to another thread or post. No need to type disrespectful comments. Ya know. It should be about enjoyment and having fun and relaxing in the grow room. Wether it be plants or mushrooms or both. I want to try to grow my shrooms in the same pot as my cannabis one time. Be nice if I got some cannabis buds that made ya trip. Lmao. Not likely tho. But a nice thought.

Damn. I came home today and the cats had gotten in the plant area and playing and broke all my secondary colas off the one plant. I made the kitten bite down on a chunk of bud and flicked her nose a few times. I am so disappointed but atleast it isn't my big beer can bud I'm hoping to be nice and dense. I'll dry and cure these properly since it is 7weeks. And they say 7-8 so I'll see what it's like after I sampled some before by quick drying and tasted and smelled shitty. So hopefully this won't be too bad. Although the there's still nutrients in too

Very nice. Which style. Nebula manifold? Looks like Nebulas method but j can't see the branches In really liking nebulas method much better. You get very close to the same results with much less Veg time than Nugbuckets Manny method.

This is a few of the buds my cats knocked down and I harvested early. I tried to save two that was only bent. One was starting to droop still so I cut it. The other is fine and should be ok yet. Here's dry. I put them in my Veg area above a few CFLs. Didn't realize it would dry overnight. Too fast. I should have left it where I had it in the dark

I also just realized it's not completely dry. So that's good too. Glad it didn't bake the whole way thru. B

I do nugbucket style manifolds. Takes a little bit longer but I don't mind a little extra root growth. I'm also a nerd for symmetry and I can't get Nebulas style to consistently grow even.

I do it mainly depedimg on the plant. Like clones I usually can do the nebula Manifold better because of the way they grow. I'll send you a pic later of the 10 cola clone I have. It's nice and symmetrical. As about as good as it can be I guess. Lol. But for my seed started plant I did it Nugbuckets Manny method


In my 10cola Clone The stem kind of looks like an old antenna on the roof Lol. It kool tho I love it.

I have a Thread for Mainlined/Manifolded plants. This is more for Bonsai style plants so don't want newbies things Manifolding is Bonsai style. Lol. Although I'm taking on of my plants k started to manifold and I'm turning it into a Manifolded Bonsai style plant. We're see if it works out how I picture it. The others are so far.

Next I'm trying the TRUE Bonsai Cannabis plant. It hard because a true Bonsai is more or less a Mini version of the plant and cannabis can be hard to do that with unless you get specific strain with nodes growing 1/4 inch apart.

Any ideas and advice in keeping my Nodes as close as possible. I don't even want them a full inch between nodes. My goal is 1/4 between nodes so I can get about 6-8nodes on the top and have a nice flat wide thick canopy. It's not meant to yeild a lot. It's made for fun and Beauty. I have a few candidate clones. I will post later and maybe try to take votes on which one to use. Or maybe I'll try it on a few and then pick the best

Kool idea. That'd be really cool to put holes in the bottom and grow it hydro so it has a bunch of roots hanging out and you could even give him some hair with the roots. Lol
It ended up being gnarly tbh.. The roots looked like cracks in his head I kept it in a crown royal bag so the roots where very white still.. I drilled a drain hole in and just top watered but yeah a hydro hybrid would be cool, I dono about getting rockwool of hydrogetron in there ha

Lol. I've started plants in coco. Rinsed them off and now I have it in a homeade mesh pot and I just stuck the roots down thru carefully and I used chunks of foam to cover. It's been working well. I know it's kind of funny but it's what was laying around and I'm always testing out home made methods that u can use. It's growing so
Good I moved it into Its own cabinet with the new LEDs I just got. They are enough for one plant but that's about it. Maybe some clones But I'm going to grow it out in here and start some Basil and rosemary for beside the bed. Helps with breathing at night and wake up feeling great too

Closest I got, turned out female ended up with about a quarter dry. Really taste stuff, was just a huge bitch to water if you could imagine.. Called the bud s
'Sin' from a pollen chucking of NLxcritical and brothers Grimm c99
place skull inside large bucket, leave bucket in common area of house, fill bucket with water past height of skull opening, keep topping off whenever you walk by it. leave for a few hours until it soaks in plenty. remove skull.

YOU'RE WELCOME

Yup...Stunt the little thing!

I am currently growing out a World of Seeds Amnesia auto. One of the seed leaves was lost at germ and I thought it would be a goner. It has had near ZERO stretch at the base of the stalk (i.e. seed leafs never got more than a cm from the dirt) and has VERY tight nodes... It is a pain in the ass for me cuz I had planned and LSTing all plants, and I can't even bend the top over yet (or maybe I just to scared of snapping the top off)...In the end I guess I'll just have to pull the stems away and leave it at that, but that isn't going to get me where I want to be with this gal...all that "lettuce" under the top canopy even has it's own secondary canopy underneath, and I REALLY need to get light down into this plant somehow...hell I've had half a notion to flip her on her side lol

Hope this helps.

Here's some pics...to see from start, jump to my current grow in sig...

Had uneven first few sets of true leaves and a mutant/deformed leaf here and there due to the unevenness of the stored starches (pre-root "Nutes"):

Put some supplemental lighting on the sides of that plant. I know it's a pain but t will do wonders when you have a thick canopy like that and don't want to defoliate. I personally love to defoliate. A LOT! Lol. Except for the Bonsai plant I'm attempting. Failed one already I think. I start with clones that o take. They are only a growth shoot about 1inch long tops. I root it. And then when it starts its growth again I can tell if it's tall and lanky. Or short and thick. The short thick ones that look like Mini Trees already are the ones I attempt it with. But growth changed on me overnight and she shot up tall now and not sure if she's a good candidate any more for the Bonsai tree style. I will continue to try tho. I have it under an LED full spectrum a few inches above it
It's been 10week since I switch to 12-12 Do so I'm thinking it's done. It's nice and dense. I dried another bud the other day and smoked it last night and WOW. I was suprised. I quick dried a few my cats broke off a week ago and it didn't seem that good but I liked it still. And tasted shitty. The bud I dried semi properly and hang for 24hrs. Was potent and tasted yummy And strong spices n pine taste.
I'm thinking it may not have been the WWxBB and maybe I got a seed mixed in of the Money Maker. I have to look the tastes up again to see. WWxBB shouldn't have any spice or hashish/sage taste I don't think. Cus I'm pretty sure that's why I ordered it cus I don't like it
I'll see when the clone grow out I guess. They should produce buds identical and I got one or two clipping to root. It was a TriFoliate type plant so cloning was a bitch. But I managed one or two that are in Veg for Manifold and Bonsai
