 Hi all these plants are around 2 weeks old from seedlings and there doing amazing,I did plan to run them indoors but again I have more unexpected work going on in the house so I'm going to stick it out in the green house,so far IV popped all 4 in a Coco eco thrive mix of about 80%Coco the rest eco thrive and theyv been outdoors for about the last 10 days, I have a small square pot I need to check the diameters of but mabey able to use if it hits the right  requirements,

I'm currently waiting for a new batch of eco thrive to land aswell as some super charge even tho I'm probs not going to need to use it,I'm planning what style of mini tree I'd like and once IV drawn it out we'll see what's achievable 😂 

Ill try my hardest to be as professional and informative on this diary as I can but let canabinsai growmies see you all around 👍👍👍 keep it popping and good luck 👍

WOOO HOOO! @Firetop95 gets us started with the first Bonsai Invitational diary, and he's growing @Monkeydo beans!   I'm excited to see what you come up with, Firetop!  I have no bonsai experience at all, so I think you probably have a leg up on me.  Good luck!

@firetop95 What size are you going to pot up to?  I'm sorting out how I am going to proceed before I pop beans. I bought some inexpensive plastic bonsai pots to use, and they are just under the size requirement, but I think I will need to grow the young seedlings in something smaller when they are young to keep the roots limited.  At least, I think so, 😆. Its not like I know what I am doing with bonsai! 🤣

@im_sparky I havnt measured my pot just yet but will in next few hours and I'll let ya know, I'm trying the long root method instead of a moss bed effect or what ever so I'm trying for long roots so I can weave them as the plant grows,

I'm using a cardboard tube out of a toiletroll to achieve the goal in mind then when time comes to final fase I can spread her roots out and about and let them sink on with time I'll put a couple pictures up of what I mean in a few hours 👍👍

 @im_sparky that's the pot I'm going to use for veg and first root development stage then I'll pick a prettier one for the final photo shoot lol,I'll mesure it tomorrow and let you know.

In updates on the plant side of things iv got 2 winners for the project and luckily it's one of each strain,even tho I can only enter one plant I want to test my skills and train 2 if possible and see how both plants compare.n

The sprouts are now on week 3 and looking good and healthy i plan to transplant them this week and start looking at root shape options,I'm still looking for a figure or stone of some kind to form the look I'm going for but all in due time 😆(time waits for no plant/man) once IV picked what I want to suffocate in roots I'll uproot and update you all with the next steps.

Keep it poppin people 👍👍👍

Nice one @firetop95!!  Interesting that you are going for the lateral bend on all them.  I am excited to see how this goes. I think I am going to try for tiny pots to start... that is, if i can figure out how to keep them irrigated 🤣

 C shape is the strawberry cough and low tie as I'm calling it is the good shit 

I'm only entering (C shape ) it's not going to stay in that position but decided to start training,my original idea was the overgrown root look but havnt found anything I think looks worthy of root suffocation,so as it stands I'm going to shape her and let her do her own thing for a little while and when I find what I'm after I'll start shopping out her roots 🤞 well attempt to lol

Keep it Poppin bonsai'nears 👍😉
