ROOTED clones in refrigerator stasis

[kaneboy]

i had cuts for over 2 months in veg crisper,but learnt to keep them dry ,not water covering stem,just went moldy,open ziplock once a week and to give fresh air,make sure to have long stems when you cut clones as when it comes time to root i always snip few cm off bottom of cut ,let come to norm temp in cup of water,i have had lots of success with this

While cannabis DOES produce antifreeze, IMO those cuts would have to be very purple to withstand freezing. Almost frozen I can see being viable for a very long time.

I freeze leaves, to destroy them. The ice crystals burst the cells. It's a recognised lab process, to aid sap extraction. I had been pressing them, which was a lot of effort. Then learned of this approach, and it was game changing. I do find a second freeze offers a greater return, so not all cells pop in the first cycle. It's some limp tissue that's coming out of there though.

It both freezes and defrosts, very quickly indeed.

I'm constantly surprised to hear seeds will freeze. I believe it, but still couldn't bring myself to do it.
