It’s nice to see this topic revived, and I have something to add, an interesting if not indicative example of the method.
Back in early June I did a major defoliation of some prized mother plants. In the process I chopped beautiful clone candidates, full of healthy leaves and thick firm stems. Beauties, just laying on the trim tray, enroute mostly, to the compost. A Greek tragedy.
But all those freshly cut healthy cuts didn’t go into compost. I took a handful of the nicest stems and ran them through the Long term storage sterilization protocol then tossed them into ziplock bags in the fridge. Then I left on some lengthy journeys.
I didn’t trim them before cleansing them. Instead of vented jars, I shoved these beautiful stems into a gallon ZipLoc freezer bag and tossed the into the veggie draw in my fridge.
I’ll let you judge for yourself. I reckon I could sprout them easily. Haven’t done it, don’t have the time, but I’d betcha they’re viable.
Here’s a pic, have a zoom.
So, here’s my report: Just clean them thoroughly, shake off excess water then straight-direct into a brand new ZipLoc Freezer bag, half filled, tightly zip-locked and set in a quiet area of a frost free fridge.
Easy Peasy. Four months, viable?
Surprised the shite outta me.
