I have been reading Jorge Cervantes Medicinal Grow Bible again, great read.
Something I have not noticed on previous readings is in the section on cloning (c3) about splitting the stem on clones.
Basically it involves splicing the top of a fresh clone to expose more cambium layer (under the skin) which is the only part roots can grow from. I know most will scrape the outer skin from the top of clones to assist rooting, which is what I have done myself, as well as the 45 deg cut.
I have never read anywhere else about this practice and wondered if anyone had tried this method. It does state it can add a day or 2 to rooting but once the roots form, they are more vigorous and over a greater area.
Thoughs anyone?
