Nope Dale, just seeds, scion, and cuttings. The freezer side is meat, we buy a whole or half from local farmers instead of grocery store meat.
Libations are in a different fridge :)

Andy, what a luxury to have one half of your fridge for seeds & cuttings! Way to go!!

Mike, I just realized...WE HAVE THE SAME WISHLIST!! (land, greenhouse, land, greenhouse...)

I got a little lightheaded when I looked inside. I'm changing my wishlist. I want that fridge. You can keep the meat.

This is what I've got. They've been awake since January. There are some figs forming already on MBVS and Black Bethlehem. As far as cuttings, I root them in cheap dollar store containers and orchid moss. Once they are in cups, they go in the aquarium. Gives enough light and keeps enough humidity until I transition them out to some shelves with shop lights.

SF, what are those pot socks used for?

Fungus gnat control

KK: your cuttings look very nice.  And, your lemon as well.  Great job!

Binbin9 I also have a cherimoya in the house for winter, I see dragon fruit there too, I have 4 big ones in my living room now.

Wow, looking good everyone!

Im still working on my setups to be more efficient but this is what ive got so far.  The wooden thing is a "Seedling greenhouse" I picked up the other day on craigslist for $40.  It has (4) 4ft dual shop lights with new alternated 6500k and 3000k bulbs.  It has 2 fans built into the top of it and a small electric heater with thermostat.  The lights are able to be adjusted from 4" to 30" and all of the sites are double hinged so all open upward like ferrari doors.  This thing is so over engineered, it had to have been some retired engineer that built it.  I cant wait to see how well it works.  For $40 I couldnt pass it up!

       

Nice setup, looking really good, amazing roots in that bag, good growing. Keep us posted on your seedling greenhouse. Wow!

Waynea, thanks!  The new rooting method im using, following most of a method Lolita recommended is working well for me so far.  As for the "SS Seedling" as ive named it, I have 1 small bug to work out in the electronics and it should be ready to go.  Look at this pic.. this is why I say the guy had to be some retired older engineer lol

 

That SS Seedling is some kind of crazy. Nice find. Nice job everyone. KK I'm surprised you use those small cups but I'm sure there is a method to the madness. I'd be afraid of one false move and toppling the whole setup.

Very Nice Lou, great score, hopefully you have the right spot for that fantastic looking contraption.

I'll give this a try, computers and writing are not my best qualities .
My 12x12 attached to my house greenhouse is a life saver in the wintertime. It as work bench, sink with cold and hot water and room for more then 200 cuttings. The second picture some cutting in 4x4x12 pots ,I don't use clear cups anymore this were started directly in pots with cup domes.
Picture 3 is my new way I stopped using dome cups ,I wrap cuttings with grafting tape instead, it seems to work fine, up front are 3 Italian 258 tanks to one of our generous member Figgary, started Jan. 26 , 24 days before this picture was taken .
Picture 4 some new experiment .Picture 5 summer beds for my pots, red building in background is winter home for pots. Picture 6 inside of fig winter home with some 300 pots.

Great setup Mario!

Wow , you guys all have fantastic setup !


This is for winter 2016
Mine is very simple , the old way, but it works if you keep the temp constant to 60 F
I do not have a refrigerator for plants, only for food .
Here is in my atrium 10x10 with 4 T16 neon lights and 1 fan . Since the space is very limited and the cuttings are numerous, I manage to raise my thousands of cuttings in different ways .

Group propagation

Variety : Kadota 
Stick as many cuttings as you can in a large black pot, filled 2/3 with Moisture control soil. Water well . No cover. Nothing. Once you see the soil is dry, water .





About a month later. Water once a week 



Variety : Buckingham
Same thing, but on moist sand instead of soil
Stick the cuttings into sand. Cover the whole thing with a clear plastic bag ( so you can see what happen inside). Leave them alone . Do nothing 




Within 2 weeks, through the plastic, you see they are sprouting
Through

When they have 4 leaves, take each one out, trim the roots and group them again in 1 G pot, this time with Moisture control soil . Water well .
The leaves will drop due to changing media and environment 

 

But 2 weeks later, they will leaf again 




For small scale , here is an example : Just stick the cuttings in the soil and keep the soil moist but not wet .






Hi Aaron,
We meet here :
5 plants in one tiny pot




Hi Coop,
You read my mind here , but yours is well built. Mine is okay because I am no carpenter .
In one room. Under T16 light and a fan

Please do not laugh at me ! See how I tie the light to the wood ? You can move the light up or down  





Guess how many they are ? 30 total
At an angle next to the window



Under the same light



Grafted scion is leafing ! The air layer next to it does nothing yet 

Lolita ! I'm impressed !!!

How many hours on / off is everyone setting their lighting for?

Isaac,
My light stays 24 hours a day but I do spray my plants with water every day and water the pots every week

Lou - PM me if you need help with the electronics.
