Zen Cannabonsai E05 – Watering, Pruning, & Shaping

Zen Cannabonsai E05 – Watering, Pruning, & Shaping

Welcome to Episode 5 of Zen Cannabonsai! Today I’ve info on pruning, watering, and shaping, as well as updates on the East Coast Sour Diesel roots over rock cascade, Barney’s Farm LSD Auto, Mystery Auto, and Venom OG clone. Be sure to watch till the end for my tip of the day: How to get a thicker stem (trunk) on your autoflower cannabonsai…

What is cannabonsai anyway? Simply put, cannabonsai are bonsai cannabis plants. This sculptural art form centers around growing small cannabis plants that incorporate the stylings of Eastern and Western Bonsai traditions.

What I’m smoking on today: Went the edibles route and ate 6 (30 mg) Mindy’s Glazed Clementine Orange gummies. Renowned chef Mindy Segal cooked this recipe up for Cresco and it shows. Sofa king good.

    Cool stuff man, definitely adding you to my learning videos, my bonsai is growing in a pc box, things are growing better then ever expected nice tight nodes, I’m working for yeild/micro size my training is all about even canopy and many tops I have just switched it to flower, cannot wait, I’ll have to share pictures with you

    Patrick!! Hell yeah dude, love that you did the research and even talked to the grower directly. That’s awesome, thanks for looking into it!

    I think the grower actually trims off mature growth as opposed to new growth?

    I LOVE these bonsai videos you’re making, keep it up!!"
