Occult Posted June 17, 2015 Did this graft about 8 months ago during the winter .. what can I say I was new to grafting and was super keen!things went south fast.... but someone told me to cut the rot out like cutting the bad bit out of a potato?here is my story in pictures and the subsequent recovery!enjoy!learn from my mistakes! my first ever graft and my first post to this forum! I hear your a good bunch of lads.the rootstock was unrooted and the peyote/trich were in dormancy... I have since learned my lesson! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted June 17, 2015 what if a person spends their entire winter in a controlled environment of perfectly ideal temperature, humidity & lighting? ya think it would be ok to graft in the winter then?
