I believe the store is now out of stock lol   Monday, April 8 View Page May 1st update. YouTube   Monday, April 8 View Page All seeds started, now we wait for roots to pop. I saw a discussion on how long to soak the seeds for and what products to add to the water. I keep it simple and use warm water 80 ish degrees, with nothing added. I soak for 35 minutes to an hour before placing them in a rung out damp paper towel in a zip lock bag. Temp is maintained at 80 ish degrees till root pops. Typically takes 36-72 hours max.   Wednesday, April 10 View Page Roots popped in 48hrs using paper towel method. Now potted and should push dirt in another couple of days.   Tuesday, April 23 View Page All plants were transplanted out on April 23rd. This is a picture of the 2144.5 Rodebaugh.

So I took a cutting a few weeks back and have been nursing it along. I finally have a strong enough plant I believe, will be suitable enough to clone a few plants off of to grow the best one for next year. The plant was the 2560 Gienger. With how heavy my fruit was and the great color I'd like to carry those genetics on.   Tuesday, November 12 View Page I have started the process off getting nodes to send tap roots down in different pots. The plan is to get each put to have a node with a secondary that once the root is sustainable for that leaf junction will allow me to cut free from the mother plant. This will allow me to have several cuttings to grow out and not have huge plant that is likely anemic to try and transfer into the patch in spring.   Wednesday, November 20 View Page I added a third pot under the clone, hopefully in a week or two i will be able to separate the newly rooted node at the mid point between the nodes, creating individual plants. The new growth tips that are at each node which would be considered secondaries at this point will be the new mains for each plant.
