What is this method and why should I use it?

This so far has been our highest percent success rate almost 100% on a 64-cutting sample. It is one of the more advanced methods but still pretty easy.

What will I need?

• 32oz clear cups.
• Markers.
• A drill with a small bit to make holes in the bottom of the cups.
• Coir and D.E. mix, 60 Coir and field capacity and the rest D.E.
• Dip n’Gro.
• A knife.
• Press and Seal wrap.

Sticking the cutting:

• Drill holes in the bottom of the cups, then label the side of each one. Fill the cup 80% full packed.
• Scrap the sides of your cutting with the knife until the green cambium is exposed.
• Dip for 3-5 seconds in the Dip n’Gro mixture let dry for 1 minute.
• Push the cutting down into the soil until there is 1 inch of space between the bottom of the cutting and the bottom of the cup this is critical, so the cutting doesn’t rot. There should also be a small gap between the top of the cutting and the top of the cup, so that condensation does not wet the top of the cutting.
• Cover the top of the cup with a square of press and seal, this is to keep the humidity 100% but the holes in the bottom let some the wettest soil dry out some, to help prevent rot.

Up Potting Tips:

• Once the cutting breaks bud take the press and seal off. If there is no condensation on the inside of the cup water the bottom 2 inches via a 3 second dip in water.

• Once you see roots all around in the cup you can pot up. Once you see the outside of the cup covered in roots wait until there is no condensation then pot the cutting up. This will help prevent breaking up the root ball.
