any ideas?
Cooler. Properly registered vehicle. Non-intoxicated driver with current valid license. Beyond that, this borders on smuggling talk so let's not get into any more specifics, thanks.
I was just thinking about posting in the Advance Tech section, a process for taking cuttings now and propagating them later. I learned this about 4 months ago on another forum (thank you Keddie from Fogponics forum). He was using geranium cuttings, but I tried this with MJ and it's working.
Take your cuttings while the plant is terpid. Place the cuttings in a food saver vacum jar or a pint size mason jar with a small amount of water. Pull a vacum and seal. Place in a cool dark location, like the frig. When ready take out and clone as usual.
The first experiment I did was for 2 weeks, all 20 cuttings survied and rooted.
I just completed rooting some cuttings that had been stored for 3 months....90days! and less then 5% loss!
Not sure how long you can store cuttings this way....but it's going to help me big time in my new set-up if I can get 30-45 days consistently.
Dude I got a foodsaver vac. Man I got to try that. I got time. Could save alot of guess work.Quote:
