i think its about perfect size to grow like 20 shotglass sized flowering clones lol. nah its my new vegging box so i can start a perpetual grow. this box has 2 6500k bulbs in it since its gunna be veg box after my seeds germinate. i have 2700ks i should put in since my flowering shotglass plant is in there. but oh well.

so heres some pics of the box n my girl. its fuckin bright in there

Hey guys...so I have 4 going now, just showing signs of the 1st set of 5 leaves, so no sex yet, and all look good and normal and fine. lol

BUT, I have a question....

I want to turn one into a legit bonsai plant. In a bonsai tray, where I prune the roots, some branches, and the leaves themselves. I'd then want to just chop the top to harvest it, and keep it growing after that. To do so, I heard I should leave on the popcorn buds, correct? I want to keep it short, to build a thick stalk like a bonsai tree. I know any harvest after the first wouldn't be as good, but I just wanna see how long I can keep it alive.

Once I see it is female, do I run any risk of shocking it into a hermie?

It seems like we are getting a lot of males. Is the size of the container enough of a stress that it's causing this?

really? no comments on that veg box? that thing is fuckin bright. its not done yet i need an exhaust fan. i have an intake 12v comp fan to blow wind on the plants atm and a passive exhaust (its gunna be changed soon). im changing the 12v to exhaust n weakening it and adding a smaller pc fan at a lower voltage. it needs to be quiet and give wind to the new sprouts. or right now the shotglass plant

So with these little guys, the cropping seems to really make a difference. It seems like 1g - 2g at most with one kola, up to 4g if cropped. Does that seem correct to you guys?

didnt top mine so if mines a girl ill see how much i get at the end. i had to transfer my girl into another pot which i mixed sand+soil in so the roots could grow better bcuz like i said b4, my soil got very compact. idk how badly stressed she is from the move since she is in flowering, and i think i damaged some roots.. plz dont hermy on me

Ok guyz here's a peek at my 2 lil girls. One of them has some weird burns on her leaves, prolly from the MG soil. Otherwise they're doing weill, the growth is slow but steady..

Did you guys know that if you google search "marijuana shotglass grow" this is the first hit?

EDIT: So here is the debate I'm having with myself...

There seems to be lots of males, so perhaps the constraints of the containers is a stressor.

Kolas seem to be the same size on cropped plants as single kola plants when it's this small, so cropping is beneficial.

But, if the plants already run a higher risk of being male, is the stressing of cropping worth it? Or is it a slim risk?
