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 it’s still pretty easy.

What will I need?

• 32oz clear cups.
• Markers.
• A razor blade or drill 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 to scrap the cutting and expose the cambium.
• Press and Seal.

Step by step:

• Drill holes in the bottom of the cups or cut them, then label the side of each one. Fill the cup 80% full unpacked.
• Your cutting should have a 1/2 inch gap between the top of the cup and 2 inches between the bottom of the cup and cutting.
• 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 2 minutes.
• Push the cutting down into the soil until there are two inches of space between it and the bottom of the cup this is critical, so the cutting doesn’t rot.
• Leave a 1/2 inch gap between the top of the cup and 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 soil dry out some to prevent the mold to keep up with the cutting.
• Once the cutting breaks bud take the press and seal of. If there is no condensation on the inside of the cup water the bottom two inches via a 3 second dipping.
