I am wondering if anyone here is using pruning and training techniques for aesthetic purposes in addition to yield or size restriction. Like bonsai mothers except with a real emphasis on the bonsai aspect. I am wondering this because I think this is one of the most beautiful plants in both foliage and flower in the world.

I think that discovering the breeding of hemp for different/showier flower characteristics and odor profiles has been one of the greatest developments in traditional (ie without genetic recombination techniques) plant breeding of the past 30 years, and I think growing with the appearance of the vegetative plant in mind would be a nice way for hobby growers to add some more challenge to their grows. I would love to have an old mother with a thick woody trunk that looked appropriate in a nice clay flowerpot on the coffee table.


I'm going to prune and train from now on with this in mind. I'll keep this log updated with pics of my mother's development. Right now I have one mother of known good quality (assuming that you can tell by appearance alone, haven't sampled it yet), one that hasn't sexed, and two of dubious quality. I will post photos of the mothers sometime this week, with commentary about what qualities I want to emphasize as the plant grows. If anyone else is already doing this or thinks it would be interesting I'd love to see some pics on here and some commentary. :rasta:
