Bonsanto® Cultivation Guide

Complete All-In-One Solution: Mini Grow Box
Compact, discreet, and quiet

Step 1:
Fill the pots with Bonsanto’s pre-fertilized soil and water them with 300–400 ml of water per 3.2-liter pot. The soil should be thoroughly moistened so that the microorganisms can become active.
Place the seed at a maximum depth of 8 mm in the soil and lightly cover it with the moist substrate.

Stretch a piece of plastic film over the top of the pot and poke a few small holes into it (e.g., with a toothpick).

Keep the activated carbon filter and the internal fan switched off for the first 3 weeks.
Open the Mini Grow Box once a day to let in fresh air.

Use our simple Scrog Technique to reduce the height of the plants.

Step 2:
Turn on the LED light 24 hours a day. When the first sprouts appear, remove the plastic film.
After day 14, reduce the lighting time to 18 hours per day.

Water the plants for the first time after germination, around day 14. Water again only when the top 10 cm of soil are completely dry. Check with your finger whether the upper layer is still moist; if it is, do not water. If it is very dry (almost dusty), then water.
Be careful that the water does not run off along the edges — this can happen if the soil is too dry. In that case, water slowly.
Allow occasional dry periods to strengthen the root system.

These watering rules are only general guidelines — always observe how your plant responds.

Start the flowering phase from the third week by reducing the lighting period to 12 hours.
(Note: Autoflowering plants can continue to receive 18 hours of light.)

Let the activated carbon filter run continuously from the third week.
The internal fan should run on a cycle (1 hour on, 1 hour off) starting from day 28 after germination.
From week 10 onward, you can let the internal fan run continuously.

Step 3:
Begin fertilizing from the second week after germination.
The recommended dosage is 20 drops per liter of Organic Boost.
Extreme Energy should be used starting from week 5, also at a dosage of 20 drops per liter.
Both fertilizers can be mixed together.

How can I successfully grow a 1.8 m plant inside a suitcase?
Here’s how:
Gently bend your plants under the SCROG net so the plants are kept at a maximum height. Almost all stems should be guided and held down by the SCROG net.
The SCROG net limits vertical growth during the vegetative phase, making it easy to perform low-stress training (LST)as well.

Step 4:
Place the Bonsanto CO₂ bags inside the box between week 3 and week 4. The extra CO₂ will accelerate your plants’ growth.

Before hanging the CO₂ bag, fill it with one-third lukewarm water (not hot!). This allows the substances inside to react properly.
Knead the bag gently for about 30 seconds so the contents mix well with the water.
Then simply hang the CO₂ bag on the marked hook inside the cabinet.

The CO₂ bag can be used throughout the entire growing phase from this point onward and should be replaced every 14 days.

Please also refill the pots with fresh soil over time, as it provides important pH-buffering properties.

Step 5:
After 8 to 12 weeks, your plant should have developed beautiful buds.
Important tip: Do not run the internal fan during the drying process. Drying must happen slowly.

Cut the plant at the base of the main stem and let it dry with all its leaves attached for 2 weeks, without the internal fan, but with the activated carbon filter running.

You can also use the Bonsanto Drying Box. This will save you valuable time and allow you to start your next grow immediately.

Once the plant has dried on the stem for 2 weeks, remove all the leaves and expose the buds.
Dry your harvest further using Boveda packs inside suitable jars.

Inside the Bonsanto Grow Box, the activated carbon filter helps prevent unwanted odors.
