2nd graft attempt (crest)

Recommended Posts

so this is my second grafting attempt

this time using a piece of the crest i got in PD's auction not to long ago

its been about 6 days now and looking good :)

it seems to have taken without any problems

very small amount of orange on there

but my first attempt was much worse so i dont expect to have any problems with it

heres my first attempt for those who didnt see :)

haha :) yeh i was a bit worried about it but it had to be done

i got some peres and a bunch of loph seedlings to try next

not quite sure if im looking forward to trying

i think thats gonna be the hard ones

seedlings are so small and you only really get one chance with seedlings

yeah i have a dichotomous loph seedling, a small part of me wants to graft it, but most of me is set on being patient and watching it grow itself.

You have bigger balls than me I would have grafted any everything I could get my hands on before I attempted the crest :)

You probably will have failures with the seedlings and peres but if you have heaps of each you just keep on trying until you get it down.

Cheers

Got

Wow Myco ! good luck man, looks like you are going to win this one though !

Did you leave the rest of the scion intact ?

I will be letting my little brother from the same mother beef up a bit before i get the chutzpah to start slicing and dicing him up.

As for loph sedlings, I have so many coming out of my piehole that I need to be brutal in my peres grafting as a form of population control :wink: ( Im even going as far as feeding them fluoridated water :P )

haha :lol:

thanks guys

it was a bit of gutsy move

this is just one of many pups on the crest

so theres plenty more bigger and smaller pups on the original graft from PD.

i have to say it wasnt easy to get a cutting from so damn spiky and so bunched together

Good stuff myco! Looks like itll take no problems. :) Ive done a couple more grafts of the crests, the mother plant of the one you got perished but not before i got a few more grafts out of it. Just waiting on some stock to root and ill get some more done.

such a shame the mother perished lucky you got some more out of it before though :)

i'd probly try a few more grafts to but im pretty short on some root stock to use

should have some more ready to go soon though waiting on a few to root like you

and have a few more cuttings ready to be planted :)
