In the pic with the gel... is there a leaf node on that cutting?
You said, "Taking your blade peel away the outer skin from the very bottom stem of your cutting, maybe 1 cm or a bit less"
I am curious about this. I have never heard this before. I am assuming that this increases the surface space that the plant can use to produce roots. What do you know about this? How does the root development compare to not peeling the cutting?
Also, does this technique take long? I know that the longer the time the cutting remains in the air, the greater the risk of an air bubble blockage and killing the cutting.
Which led me to another thought...
I wonder how much of the grow myths came from a single grain of truth? Like when I read that some people put their cuttings in water for 24 hours. I can't imagine the why of this except for the air bubble thing I mentioned. Or that there is something special about 10th or 20th generation clones. How do myths like that get so ingrained? (rhetorical question)
