  1. 10/10 Great video! Congrats on 1K! I hope to see a whole series of animated films from the Bob cinematic universe.

  2. Congrats on the 1K Jason! You are officially a YouTuber now! 🐦💙 Love the carnage cam! Any carnage is good carnage!

  3. It’s official. Congrats on 1,000 subscribers. Always informative and entertaining content. Thanks, keep growing

  4. Great vid! I thought this would help me a lot. But not really I consider myself beeing a beginner. Watching this vid made me think I am not. But I am. Still lot of learning in front of me.😂👍

  5. Had to pause this to leave my comment!! Love that you talked about watering, I’ve been leaning bonsai for about 3 years now and this year is the first year I think I had done things pretty well and what I remember most is watering, it’s true a bonsai apprentice mostly waters for the first year and I can tell you all I have done this year is mostly watering, like a mad man, day and night even… if you like bonsai get used to watering lol!!

  6. Great advice about 'bob a job'. I think when we are starting we often look for those short cuts to great results or misinterpreting actions taken by an expert and applying them badly. My biggest example is Herons. Sometimes, Peter Chan just looks like he is hacking blindly at a Maple or Azalea growth without thought…but we all know that he knows exactly where and when he can do these things. Skimming videos is also fatal if you are really trying to understand a technique. I have made so many mistakes hopping between different 'experts' without recognising that they are often just following the example set by another…Bob! this was probably the most important tip you gave Jason – great stuff. Understanding physiology was my truning point and I am still only a beginner…

  7. Great advice Jason for someone new to bonsai like me. Sounds like an East Yorkshire accent? Hull perhaps?
