They went in last night and they already look perked up, they were insanely root bound especially the FGC.

Looking good as always Q.
I’ve got a pack of the FGC too, so I’ll be eyeballing those extra hard. 
I think Johnny started calling those “Serendipitous”, if that matters to you at all.

I was trimming back my Blue raspberry truffle mother plants and decided to throw a few cuts in with some spider plant cuttings that have been pushing out major roots for weeks.
My cloning has bordered on horrendous lately so I wasn’t optimistic, nor was I counting on these cuts.
After just a couple of days I’m seeing roots, makes me wonder if the spider plant is emitting a rooting hormone.

Hmmmm…were your mothers treated with BBP at all before you took the cuts?
Looks suspiciously like something I’ve seen before !?

I think they were now that you mention it! Conversely the ones I took that all died were also treated with BBP.

So after a plant is sprayed with BBP how long should you wait until taking a cutting?

Well if that’s the case it’s still ‘to be determined’ !
The most accurate information growers have given me is that many will apply the BBP applications on schedule through veg. Nearing the flip, they will trim their plants and clone the cuttings.
Several have stated that the clones root much quicker, and tend to grow more vigorously.
Seems like propagating clones is a skill set and there are lots of ‘variables’. I’m interested in gathering all your observations good or bad in order to formulate information that can help growers in any stage of the plant’s life!!

I don’t see any nodes, so I’m not sure those are actually roots. Usually, they get white bumps before rooting. I would root them in bubbling water, because I find a glass of water is 50/50 chances of it rotting or rooting.

I was examining it today and I think you are absolutely right, probably plant fibers? I’ve got a mother of it but I’m doing California cups for cloning now, did the bubbler again and it was a massacre, I’m sure due to unclean conditions and too high temps.

Looks like parts of the xylem to me. It could definitely be bast fibers though, from the outer bark layer. You’d need to get in there with a magnifying glass, I think, to really make sure.

That is a beautiful garden!

Dusted a branch of everything in the flower tent with some of @DougDawson sour bubble pollen, hoping for a few new mashups! Thank you for your compliment @chronix
