Howdy Folks.
If you have seen the 1oz Shot glass grow you might be interested in this idea.
I have been thinkin about doing a MJ Bonsai Grow just for the fun of it and since the 1oz grow is turning into so much fun and so many people are following aloing and growing I figure after we finsish up with that we should all try something a little bigger. (But just a little)
I started this thread a little early so that peeps could chime in and give their ideas as to how we should set up the "Contest". Again it will most likely be on the honour system and there might not be much in the way of prizes but do we really do this for prizes anyway? Isn't it just about bringing like minded people into the same place?
anyways. here's a shot of a bonsai landscape. basic design "Root over rock"
Bonsai Landscapes are supposed to give the look of an area of natural placement. In other words if you were in nature and came across a miniature tree and cut around the tree what would you be left with.
for the contest we could have a few catagories maybe. based roughly on Bonsai Growing competitions rules.
Single tree / forest of trees / diahrama,landscaping / container use.
as for container size we could limit it to amount of soil used as some people might want to grow on a rock or on a slab of stone with a pile of dirt. a little hard to compare container size at that point.
The honour system would have to be honest peeps. I think you can see what I mean.
so...what y'all think?...I know for a fact there are tons of people that love bonsai trees on ICMag. I have even seen a few peeps on here in micro grows that could really grow some nice bonsai given the opportunity.
For instance I bet MrG pops up soon enough seeing this.
So I've posted this about 2 months before start time. that way most of the 1oz grows will be done and veryone can prepare to have a little spot in their flower areas ready to fit an extra little pot.
Good idea for fun or am I crazy?
Peace
