Yeah I tried a bunch of stuff last year,
hydrogen peroxide wash, bounced them around in sand paper tube, inflated ziploc with seed laying on top of paper. and then into my heavily misted rock wool and gravel aeroponics system with co2 and then killed everything because of russet mite infested plants and safer agro chems insecticidal soap with
pyrethrins killed it all, restarted in june with decent cuttings and hermie seeds in an area filled with fire. The guy the cuttings came from lost everything, house and green house barn and vehicles a safe full of his life savings from a life of growing. If the neighbor lady had not woken him in his mountain top home at the end of the road he would not have been able to run down the mountain in mismatched shoes, shorts and tee-shirt with nothing in the pockets. no wallet keys or phone. He had such a nice collection of glass floats. I believe over 2.000 I know it was over 1.000 and nothing salvageable except a little hardened puddle of gold with shattered diamonds in it. He has not yet started to rebuild. Last year was not one of the good ones. That was why I bought a couple plants from the dispensary Pacific gold cannabis in sw Portland A really decent place. Mob Boss And a chem cookie at about 9 branching's and almost solid root balls in 4 in pots. Cut the top three branches of both for cuttings for my brother and repotted into gallons. Only found 2 seeds from my ten plants and got some hermie seed from a friend
and about two table spoons Vietnamese.. I gave my brother some of them and the two from my last years and the two tops, I only really have room for two here. I still have bud from last three years and a lot of oil. I try to give joints along with tips. I ask hey do you take 4/20 tips and you would be surprised how many do. I have even done it in a dispensary. It always brings a smile.
