What kind of harvest do you usually end up with weight wise? I know it is reduced but I was just wondering about what you are left with.

not sure, we'll find out.... i first tried this last summer.. and these bitches who lived up stairs from me stole them when they moved cause i had some un bonsai'd ones growing outside next to them and they took those and the bonsai's.. I'm still unclear whether they knew they were weed or not or just took them for good measure.
So i'll let you know.

those look great, i await the good bud pics, im not sure if death by car accident is an acceptable route of karma for taking some ganja, but kinda humerous in a sick way.

Hey neuro man you said later tonight on those bud shots, and I still don't see any. You know how impatient we can get around here for good pud shots. Seriously though I'm looking forward to seeing them, I've been really impressed with these plants so far.

Bud shots
You can see on this one i haven't trimmed the latest set of fan leaves, but if you look just below the first set of fan leaves you'll see brown spots on a leaf where the side laminar were cut off.

I'd think your plants might benifit from larger containers. For there size they shouldn't need anything too much bigger, but I bet with the current pots you have to water them almost every day. Since they're about half done it might not be worth it at this point, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyways.
Of course keeping them in smaller containers than they need will slow their groth above the soil.... if you wanted to limit their size. I think yeild would be affected too though.....

Indeed i have to water nearly every day, though since it hasn't been as hot transpiration hasn't been as fast and now it's every other day.
Well i was planning on being very scientific about this and testing out a few things.
True bonsai involves root trimming. I didn't do that, though i planned
My original intentions with several plants:
1. A few left in smaller pots with no root trimming as control 2. A few left in small pots with root trimming 3. A few moved into bigger pots with no root trimming
I strayed away from all of this because i had no time to really devote to a good log keeping and separation and all the work. So i left them in whatever pots i put them in and didn't trim the roots.
Every single plant is terribly terribly root bound, and I'm basically using that as a pseudo-root trimming effect. They're so close ot being done now moving them is pointless. I basically decided i had to keep on top of watering when I abandoned the various test groups.
So far the only bad effects from terrible root bounding is quite a bit of leaves have turned chlorotic prematurely and were taken off. Otherwise it seems fine okay since I'm not intentionally using their pot bound state as a stunting method so long as i keep on top of watering.
Next summer I plan on having better weather outdoors so as to start them earlier have several control groups and have them flower on time, in addition to my late bonsai's I have about 50 green tomatoes that were frosted last week.
My goals with this project was to demonstrate the bonsai method its application to marijuana and that one can bonsai and trim the fan leaves for optimum stealth. Yield is not my main concern this time around and really shouldn't be for any person doing bonsai.
I will be running the control groups next summer to see what the max yield will be for these types of plants.

Intresting... I didn't realize there was root trimming involved in bonsai. I guess you're suppose to do a little trimming of the root ball when transplanting to bigger containers, but it wouldn't be a normal event. How often do you anticipate cutting at the roots next summer?

I'm not entirely sure, MJ is quite a vigorous rooter, maybe ever 2 weeks. Bonsai involves root trimming to keep a plant/tree at it's exact size and container size. Usually when switching containers for bonsai it's not much if at all bigger than the last.
