I just have to ask.. Your roots are exposed.. Does this not stress the plant?

Those roots are hard wood roots.. nope, haven't noticed that I stress them with a bit exposure. I raised the fabric pots, to have air below. Roots should have taken the pot over by now. So the full 22L area should be grown in. Went from 3 Liter to 10 Liter to 22 and always could stand without pot. I admit, next time I would start with a smaller pot then the 3L and repot once more.

is this how growers get the plant to grow around a rock or stump for those decorative grows?

I just suck at repotting ^^ you have to ask @Pants that question: how did you got that plant on top of a stone? ^^ I have zero clue how he did it 😂

Very carefully.

Bare rooted the seedling at about 3 weeks and planted on the 🪨 , covered with soil in a pot and started praying

She recovered and about a month later I planted into the bonsai pot amd slowly started clearing the soil away, week by week. Also kept the roots wrapped with a cloth till they hardened off.

From my, very limited, experience, exposed surface roots will harden up and not really hold the plant back.

@prom its a simple Bonsai technique and there are a bunch of ways to do it.

most common is very early in the bonsais life, having a rock under the rots must be the plan from the get go.

once your bonsai cutting has rooted, you choose a rock and you place your cutting ontop of the rock and cover it all with soil.

then the roots grow over the rock and down into the meduim below. and then once a month or whatever, you wash a mm or 2 off the roots that have grown over the rock, and eventually you will have washed the medium off the rock , exposing the roots all draped over the rock you chose.

depending on the type of plant, it could take quite a long time to accomplish. but it sure is visually worth it

Day 2 of Week 10 Update

They got 1 liter 1/3/2/4 (Grow/Bloom/Top Max/Bio Heaven, still from the same bucket)

Plus I had Upload issues yesterday.. or thought I have, just took a bit. Video Flower till 10 July.. I cut the 12 hours dark time out, so the jumps you see are those cuts.

I will also not use the work tent for time laps videos again, just to often you bump the cams, what isn't helping. If I ever do that stunt again, I run it in a separate tent, like I did with the Royal Gorilla's. I had to run the video over 2 projects o speed them up enough. Running 6 times as fast as usual.

Looking good man. You mentioned you only give them 1 litre each when you feed? How big are those pots?I would def look into giving more per plant.

I water depending how heavy the pot is.. using custom made 22L from PlantMatter
