Both….red pines were less germinating

I am growing……have some zelkova and pines……not till later season though……pine seeds were duds so had to plant zelkova and they take longer.. Thanks

THE RINGBARK isn’t this the happiest little zelkova seedling you ever seen?

THESE WILL RAFT FOR SURE!! Looking at the pictures there is definately opportunity to make Raft Style type Kabudachi. I will have to find the correct term…….perhaps going into a natural form. After the ringbarking in Spring on some of these all I will have to do is ringbark a branch in a...

HERE IS THE BEFORE PICS. These will be ringbarked right at the branches in Spring for nice Kabudachi starters.They will be ready by Summer……perhaps at June 1st.

FIRST ROUND OF TRAINING ON ZELKOVA KABUDACHI STARTERS!!!! These are just fine…nice and slow growth getting strong. Time I started training so had well over 200 of them that were ready for it. On the next training like this I will wrap them up with twine or something.

A lot of times these simple trees bring out the pure essence of bonsai if there’s no time or money.

Thanks its very fun,eapecially when all is going as planned. TOTAL CROP IS ZELKOVA THIS SEASON……..I JUST HAD TO GIVE THIS A GO FOR IT!! Also my JBP SEED did not sprout up to par as usual……perhaps do half and half crops or even 1/3 each of the kabudachi/tall broom forms/ and pine seedling...

Thanks….It can be very pronounced… Here is my comparison pictures.. SAME AGE…1 with dutch hydroponics 1 without dutch hydroponics Grown by me! 1st year attempt indoors is bottom and the 2nd year attempt indoors after applying the practice of...

HERE THEY ARE THIS EVENING!! Turning into a very nice crop.The flats I just planted are sprouting very high percentage.I have learned in practice that when sprouting seeds definately use a very light EC of around .3-.5 Any more and germination is interupted and there is less in the flat after a...

ORGANIZING THE GROWHOUSE I put bigger ones under more light to save room for the sensitive germinating seed. Going to keep filling it full ….even the empty mini-blocks so I have a bunch to ringbark all throughout the year!!! THESE STARTED GERMINATING ON DECEMBER 13th!!! 6 weeks!!

UPDATE!! With more roots come more vigorous plants. These are starting to get more stable and settled with the extra nutrient uptake of having more roots. The nitrogen is very limited…..total ec between .5-.6 with the the majority of the nutrient being non nitrogen bio stimulants……extra vitamin...

SOME OF THE TALL SINGULAR BROOM FORM! These are such a challenge to grow in quantity.From a flat of 72 in the shade by a window I have 12?? Would be great for a crop if I can find a way to stretch the bole section of the trunks more reliably. Some of the finest pleasing forms are these tall...

Probably! I can walk into legal grounds from my home Hopefully this year. I would not mind growing some. I worked as a cultivation tech at Trulieve a couple years ago. Some of the biggest co2 fertilized buds I have ever seen. Although a fun job…..( I do not do marijuana currently) All I...

Would be fun………Very delicate and seem to not enjoy co2 that much…….can be done though.
