I ended up gifting the clone to my mom bc I wasn't happy with the roots at the time I pulled it; defoliated it some to make sure it lived so it is down to three branches from 5. Doing great though now. I'm still saving a clone of that plant to work with for grafting and what not. Going to also use any males I don't want as grafting stock practice and maybe try to overgraft onto my flowered plants stumps after they've been chopped just to see what happens. Willing to experiment and fail with stuff like that, and the benefits could be huge if I pull any off.Yeah , Tom Hill always told me to grab some sts if I ever decided to play that game. But I refuse to play with poisons like that whereas the c.s. is not only safe, but many use it as a health benefit. It really is just something I've never done, and I like to do things I haven't done before. It just adds interest to the hobby.
So you managed to clone your quad branch? Do you still plan to use it as a root stock for a multi,-dna supply plant? Air layering is a an interesting technique, I've seen it used for trees, esp in the creation of bonsai trees, but I haven't seen it in our game. It's something to consider for sure, thanks. Grafting is another thing that's interesting, but I'm not good at trimming root systems. I've always killed anything I've tried that on. And keeping a mother root stock, nevermind the grafting of new branches onto it, is above my skill set.
