PD. Posted May 31, 2010 Well i contacted the seller about the origins of this "seedling". To me it has clearly been cut and re-rooted or grafted earlier on and degrafted but according to hamiltons this plant is a seedling that has never been grafted nor is it just a cutting! Really it makes lil difference to me but if there was a case of rot on the base that needed to be cut off and the plant re-rooted then imo that is info that should be passed to the purchaser especially considering there are 3 parties involved and it wasnt cheap. Anyways, what do you guys think??? heres a nice pic..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
san p Posted May 31, 2010 yep your right it looks to be a cutting,and with the root system being so small it couldnt have be growing on its own for long. it definitly looks like 2 monstrose branchs are forming on the left,so over all a great score! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD. Posted May 31, 2010 Yeh the 2 smaller branches are forming into crests also. I agree that it is a cutting of sorts i just cant understand why the seller keeps saying it is a seedling and has never been grafted nor is it a cutting. It has either been cut from another plant, grafted as a seedling or had a case of rot at some point which was removed. No biggie really i guess, just a lil frustrating.

zelly Posted May 31, 2010 sure looks like a rooted out cut to me as well. Now here's something to cry about.... I sold this to a bud for $75.00 plus shipping... shown in a 26 cm pot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) There's no way that's seed grown. It's clearly been cut. Edited May 31, 2010 by tripsis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
