in my first grow (log in sig), still going on.
im in dirt, indoors.
2 girls seem to have serious bonsai characteristics.

long story short.(6 weeks worth)

i made some noobie mistakes.(of course)

the beginning of the grow i had nearly zero ventilation.
used 150w cfls about 1 inch away from first sign of poking out of the dirt.
then i let em bake for 24-7
temps got to 80-90+ for a week at least until i realized

once i started realizing errors, took some steps.

more room
fans
better ventilation
better cooling.
re-potted w more perlite
got some nutes
better lighting

1 has recoverd and is thriving to the point that i feel we will go to flower in a couple weeks.

2 are about 3 inches tall at the 6th node already.:wtf:

tonite i notices something strange.

while spraying them, the one wiggled so much i thought she'd fall over.

i poked around in the dirt and there is a fairly hard section of dirt directly under her and it looks like her main root snakes along the top and goes down somewhere else.
its terrible, had to shore up the dirt around her to hold her up.

here's my question to the dirty experts.

is recovery possible???

im thinkin a couple possible plans

1-superthrive her like crazy as a prep to help prevent shocking her to death.
then soak the pot till i have soup,
fish out the root sytem and carefully transplant into new fluffy soil.

more drastic
2-chop her at the dirt line and re-root like a clone and start over in new soil

most drastic
3-chop her into as many clones as i think i could salvage and go from there.

this is what the 2 bonsais look like at almost 6 weeks.
i gotta do something, its almost a waste to keep them at this pace.
