ive seen this a few times read it in here but i dont understand please someone explain to me in laitmans terms or slow man terms,, hehe ya now

funny you said slow because a real bonzai plant takes a long slow process. basically bonzai is a term for pruning a plant. theres a thread here somewhere that states "a real bonzai grow" is one with a root bound plant. dont know exactly why all i know is what you do is start from about a small plant or clone. top it till it grows two branches. then top it again and wait for it to grow back 4 more, and so on. some tie down lower branches and let them grow in different shapes. bonzai is also about expression. you look at the plant and it almost tells you what should be cut to get the shape you are looking for. - thats something i learned from the second karate kid!

So are the roots shaped aswell as the leaves, and the way it branches? Trimed to your own ganja VOGU? What exactly does pinch mean? do i remove completlyor pinch let it fall over on itself?

sentravapor

pruning not pinching. and no the roots can be left for up to 2 years i think but that also slows growth down quite a bit. i haven't heard of anyone completing a true bonzai plant in less than 10 months. but its well worth the effort you end up with up to 50 - 60 colas that are probably the size it would be on a straight up 3 month no training plant.

honestly i've wanted to do this as well but i don't have the patients to wait on the same lady for that long (mj). in seasonal terms you could grow almost 4 crops indoors within the time it would take to do one bonzai crop.

true it may taik for ever. but its my practice run. before i get my nice stup and exspensive seeds. so lil experimenting now is better then laiter. i just wanted to get to know what im doing. blazz up blazz up.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ pass~~~~ so what i just snip tips?

702puffin

then i asked if you have heard lowrider 1, and lowrider 2, lowrider-deisel, lowrider-widow, lowrider-nothernlights? small nice 2 months you are smoking.

sentravapor

nah i definitely haven't but that sounds awesome. i know about lowrider #1 and #2. i heard #1 was pretty bad and #2 was decent. but mixing with those other strains will get some great genetics in there with the auto flower and such that lowrider is known for.

its a lot more than just snipping tops once it starts getting big
you have to make sure that every top is getting equal light distribution so that they all grow on the same level.
