ALL ABOUT BONSAI MOMS/MUMS

[justanotherbozo]

...not a bonsai mom, just a re-veg not long before i flipped her for the second time, ...she's 36 days in now and she is a beast!

...you know pictures don't do justice but here is a shot that gives you a hint of what she looks like NOW, ...it looks like she will yield WAY better this second time through the cycle!

peace, bozo

Does anyone dido their clones in aloe fillet? If not whats the best rooting compound? Also, is just placing cutting in water better? Finally, is it better to foliar cuttings several times a day or leave in a dome. Thanks for answers. I'm a clone chump and need to perfect ASAP.

It really depends on who you ask. I have tried powders and gels of a lot of brands. I really like Clonex. The consistency of the gel is perfect to me and I have had great results with it, even clones in used coffee grounds under a milk jug with the bottom cut off.

You can't move or delete the post, only the mod for this section and supermods can move and delete the post. You can only edit it.

Has anyone used air pots for keeping mums?! They do have a .3L size I'm considering. So how do you edit? Thanks.

I use air pots, but the smallest that I've seen are 1 liter and I used them for a couple of years. However, since I use Blumats, it gets to be a damn tight squeeze in there, and the discharge tube can completely overshoot the pot if you aren't careful. I've found that using the 3-liter size and cutting them off to the same height as the 1-liter works great and doesn't take up any more room because the plant is bigger around than the pot anyhow.

You're the first I've seen use the air pots w/blumats. I think that'd be an ultimate combo. 3g/watt type stuff. Really, imagine a 10-15 gal, mats, and living soil...one day.

OK so heres an update.

 

[NKOTS]

wow, that's a nice development, cheese!
looking good.
will you flower her or will she remain a mother?

 

[#1cheesebuds]

I might be able to take a few clones first but will have to flower her. the if the clones root 'll veg them in this spot for a bit befor flower time.

 

[slomocean]

so much good info here thanks all!

This lady I reveged over the winter.
So I took a knife and cut 4 inches around the root ball while still in the pot and she reveged great. mush greater than I thought she would have doing it this way.
heres what she looked at the start of the revegetation process
on 12-27-2013.

this is around 7 to 8 weeks later. reveged with only 2 lil led light bulbs.

these r from yesterday. she's in my bloom box. It has a big high powered cob LED light.
first one is with out flash.

second one is with a flash.

last is the baby flowers starting to grow.

also I have a purple lady that Im trying to reveg. it is always a ruff start but she should start reveging better soon.

 

[redclover]

So are ya'll transplanting and switching light schedules on same day when reveg'n? Thanks.

 

[#1cheesebuds]

maybe the rest of the people do that bit I didn't.

[redclover]

So you cut the rootball and just left it? I'm going to try this soon, but cut 4" square and put it in a 5" square pot with rich soil. Wish me luck...
