There is a tiny root showing last night after 20 days total from start in cup its a panache stick, the tiny root is right above my thumbnail . All i did was use what i had some perlite , cheap scotts seeding soil 4.97 for a 1.5 cubic bag, rinsed stick under the faucet water only . Prewet the potting and made hole in it and stuck the stick in it and put in my bin.
Always nice to see the first root to know something at least has started.
Soon i try something else called aeroponics i have a lot of fun still.

Martin, it's a thrill like nothing else. I have just started 20 varieties and can't hardly wait to see the first root. Then when you put them in a cup, there's another thrill when you see the first root hit the cup. Good luck with you cutting. One of the one's I've started is also a Panache.  "gene"
