His Bonsai Mums tute was something I inhaled in '99
it breathed life into my grow! Allowing me to bring so many mothers a long the way in the life of the gorilla grower!

Something I will have to look through with my up and coming mother room. Count is close to 20 now
That’s how I kept so many mothers for so many years
even in today’s more modern methods, it is damned handy to read, and use.

Wait a minute…the same Oldtimer from ICMAG with the Bonsai Technique? I read that so many times and apply a lot of those ideas today

Oldtimer1 had, and still has, a most profound influence on many growers around the world…
edit… I know he had to get tired of my questions (well, maybe not that many lol) but he always answered

But @JohnnyPotseed, to be honest I’ve been run over by so many options in front of me, I have to take a step back and learn especially about how to give a right size to the mothers in order to have a bunch of them…!! Thanks!

Now that I was a bit hesitant about the first time lol but it works just fine
edit… When I moved back here to Oklahoma, I brought 40 mothers with me… all in 5" pots lol I up-potted almost immediately and let the girls spread their wings
edit2… But, I still use the overall technique

If we are able to defoliate, take out fan leaves and the whole shebang on top on the plant, why not doing the same with roots!? Of course, newbie venting!!!
