Rusty's Bonsai Downsizing...
Thanks Opie...For me, this is a great technique. Not one I'll discard any time soon.
The versatility of the downsized re-veg is phenominal, and the ladies love the fresh soil, fresh nutes...Likely not too appreciative of the pedicure and haircut, but thet recover very quickly.
If I had to set-up another small veg room just for the bonsai's, I'd do it. But right now, I am doing fewer seedlings and clones than was necessary before.
I did discover something...but not too sure I know what the implications are...
Early July I had a Shishkaberry on it's second re-veg, and I stressed her a bit with an aspirin tea, (aspirin stressing to promote nanners) Once I got enough pollen, I cut the lady back, trimmed the roots and downsized. I wanted to see what happens when you re-veg a forced hermie.
Any guesses how the (forced hermie) Shishkaberry reacted to re-veg and re-flower?
Well...I kept a close eye on her throughout the flowering process. I just harvested her, and de-constructed (cleaned) the buds. No nanners and not one seed. This is not scientific, and I am not telling anyone out there to try this, but it is an interesting development worth (my) trying again with a couple of different strains and a camera.
Have noticed on the normally studly Shishkaberry (sativa dominant) that after re-veg, the branches are thinner than normal, and do need bamboo stakes to support the budweight.
For the most part tho, all the strains I've tried have worked fine. My Potent Purple and my Swazi (both sat's) are fine with the re-vegging process, as are my indica's and indica doms. :thumbsup:
