    Humboldt nice work! 

     

    Yes it's been a real game changer at our place!

     

    Yes removal can be tricky! I usually wait till they really start to firm up 10/15 days sometimes then hold the 50mm tubes I have with my legs and rip it off like a magic table cloth.

     

    I'm waiting on a new camera but this kind of reckless behaviour will be documented soon for your nail biting pleasure.

    Hi George,

     

    I'm definitely interested as grafting is a skill I've had minimal experience with and would like to develop. Any chance I could get you to hold onto a pack until late August when I move place? My current abode doesn't have a good place in direct sunlight for cactii but I've elected to find somewhere that has the space and northerly aspect to allow for some better growing conditions. I'd hate to kill the things before I get the chance to move. Basically, if they're still available in about a month, I'm still active and have organised a home for them, I'd be happy to document the process and share with the class. In return also, I will pass some of my own successes on to other members in the future in the way you're proposing here.

    Thanks!

    Hey Tøn for sure I'm seeing lots of perskiopsis in my future! Just send me a Message and that way we can keep track of things a little easier :)

    These dudes were busy creating a universe to escape the suffering of 80's detroit. 

     

    The universe that this electro takes place is one where a race of underwater African techno people are born from slave traders throwing pregnant woman overboard on their trading voyages. Gets crazy if you wana look into it highly recommend the trip

    can't wait for your para film tek, though!!:P

    Should be good! I certainly can't take all the credit - though I couldn't find a guide when I was learning.

     

    I have already sent sheets of it around to some grafting genies so lets see what they do! 

     

    Works well for tricho grafts too ;) you don't have to rubber band around to secure panties/bands/tape whatever. It sticks to itself! 

     

    I don't cover mine as completely as he does and I run a band of film around the stock so the top layer can stick straight to that.

    or is the para film used to create a mini (breathable) glasshouse?

    Planning to have this published by the end of the week as I think I've got enough material to make it nice and nice with the pictures. Yes spot on, you achieve a mini breathable greenhouse that also serves to put downward pressure. Cut tip, Defoliate 2CM, Wrap the stock, slice through the wrap, pop on scion and apply a layer over the top securing to the wrapped peres. They start cranking within the week and have been known to bust through the parafilm in ten days or so :)

     

    you want in?

    Added 'giveaway'

    Hey how are ya? 

     

    Past couple months been tough on lots of folks, to take my mind off things I've been doing whooooole heap of grafting.   

     

    I'd like to share the love with the community that has often given so much and asked for little in return.

     

    I have five beginners grafting packs to give away AUS only I'll pay shipping just comment here and agree to post follow up pics ITT good or bad all part of the learning process and lord knows I've killed a few... 

     

    Pack will include:

    2 x 10 Cm rooted pereskiopsis

    No. 21 Swann-Morten scalpel blade 

    Length of 'Parafilm' 

    20 Seeds of my first eva set fruit Yowie x Bridgesii 

     

    Parafilm is what is used to seal petri dishes in pool smelling lab coat kebab shops where the latex flows like wine. The fancy film is a very breathable - incredibly stretchy - super duper amazing version of gladwrap that sticks to itself when stretched even when it's wet!!! It allows the home grafter to set grafts without the need for a humidity chamber and also ensures a better vascular connection and faster growth through the use of downward pressure.

     

    I will post a parafilm tek before your beanz pop so just focus ppl, cmon ok? Get the pack first! geezQ!!

    Cheers George, I had a quick look at the channel and I'm still not certain which videos you mean. If you can link the specific videos you want translations for here then I will pass it onto a friend who said he would be able to help out :)

     

    So the weekend got away from me :P 

     

    Looking at the videos again I think prioritise these : sowing , mix and the last one he's going to town on some young seedlings roots.

     

    There's a few of his videos on the last subject but in this one I feel like he is maybe explaining the process?

    Omg amazing!

     

    I've already reached out to him to get him to turn community submissions on so people can add subtitles so hopefully he has done that :)

     

    Thanks for your help I'm enjoying the sun today and shoveling a half tonne of 7mm- will get back to you this eve.

    Cheers folks looks like we can shut the agatha christie on this one. I think I thought it could have been Ecuador? but yowie is definitely right from the pics i've seen.

     

    Getting back into learning from the plant after 5 years of just looking at the gorgeous things, also a bit of curation of the collection making sure the next 5 years are just as bliss. 

     

    seems I should have made metal tags not plastic ones.

     

    I've got a few more things to ID in the coming days so thanks in advance for your knowledge/patience everybody.
