Today I made my own dwc bucket and planted what I think to be a F. benajmina ficus tree in it that I picked up from home depot. I plan on seeing what happens like a little experiment, I'm excited! Could anybody else help me out with identifying the tree, and what kind of nutrients I should put in it? I'm trying to make it grow as much as possible as quick as possible, I don't care if its organic or not. Thanks guys!
Just showed my mom my setup She says its a boxus a genus in the Buxaceae family. I'm exited for this experiment, but nobody else seems to be, hahaha.
Nobody cares? Haha, I thought at least a couple people would think it was pretty cool. Guess everybody's all about their herb
Looks cool man. I know what nutrients to use for MJ but for that little tree im not too sure. I would use the lucas formula of G-M-B (0-5-10) with GH nutrients and see how it works. You should put those other plants you got in there if you want the growth to explode! Good Luck
Definitely Buxus. They are a slow growing species so you can only force it to grow faster to a certain extent. Buxus grow well in the tropics as well as temperate climes. Not sure about hydro on a shrub like that. The Art of Bonsai Project - Home Good site for high quality Bonsai
Why don't you put that tree in some dirt outside your house, and that can be your little experiment, What are you experimenting with anyway? just trying to see if that tree will grow in a dwc bucket??? Put some weed in it and you'd probably get more responses.
Thanks I've been meaning to check out the Lucas formula soon anyway, getting ready for my hydro grow as soon as I have my space ready. That's awesome! I've lived all around the world and it seems to me that everybody likes bonsai tree's. Well at least a lot of the people I've met, they like taking care of things and indoor plants are a great thing to take care of. Thank you!! BTW: Do you happen to have any pictures of your Japanese yews? That's what my mother was teeling me last week, when I bought the plant I didn't really know what it was, but now I'm starting to have second thoughts on this genus. That's a really neat site, in doing all my research that site never once popped up, thanks for that! Thank you for the help I appreciate it Hahahah when I woke up this morning I saw "" it was a great thing to wake up to. Whops I saw General Indoor Growing and didn't realize it was in the MARIJUANA growing, who should I inquire to get it moved? Thanks man! I just got bored of watching my girls grow everyday, so I though I'd add something else to the mix. I've always wanted a bonsai tree, but they just grow to painfully slooooowwwwwww. Because I have many well placed tree's outside my house in dirt I'm experimenting to see how fast it'll grow and if it will in fact grow. I am in the process of designing my grow room with my hydro system so I'll have my marijuana covered soon. I built that mini bucket specifically for that tree. Thanks for your input sir!
