Thats awesome to hear!

My seedling plant of it was in a bit of a funk, but it seems to coming out of it.   I am looking forward to seeing how it looks for you!

Chris

BTW Black Rainbow appears to have a pretty decent looking bush, probably grandparent rainbow christie to thank.

Hi everyone
Your flowers are looking real nice , I'm getting buds on everything now, thats its staying warm out at night , Charlie & Cris , on some info on Black Rainbow it has a real nice bush as far as growing it outside .Also doesn't seem to get spider mites . My bush is wilting a little right now because it's been in the sun most of the day and it needed water but it usually looks real nice .
 It will root but its a little slow I just rooted 4 cuttings, it took about 3 months . After 3 months they look kind of rough but their doing good , one looks real nice .

Chris - awesome BR bloom!  Perfect for your growing conditions, that one should be insanely dark every time.

Mike that is a great looking bush you have there - so glad to hear that your plants are budding up.  Funny thing is I am experiencing the same thing here.  Finally starting to see some significant progress...

Very nice Chris, but you are saying something which I have heard you say before which confuses me '' asking Charlie if he would like some wood''.

I sort of thought that with wood Charlie can only make a graft, and from a graft you can not take a cutting to grow more, am I wrong?

Chris, I've had Riptide in the full sun and am not getting any dark colors at all. I think I will move it into a morning sun only location. Also Victoria's Touch, Blue Ballerina, Fifth Dimension, and Black Dream.

Wow John, I was very much anticipating what Jolie's bloom might look like but this exceeds my expectations.  Absolutely stunning!  Mine looks like it is a month away from it's first blooms hopefully looking as wonderful as your's.

Erny it is amazing how much gold there is on your White Hot blooms - really something quite extraordinary to me.  This one is one of Charlie's best to date IMO...

I only have one bloom worthy of showing today but if I were to have just one...

David you can go either way with a cutting, try to root it or graft it first then take cuttings later off of the new, larger grafted plant and see if those cuttings root.  Seems the smart move is to graft it first to make sure it has the ability to root so you don't use up the wood unless you already know it can root.

I haven't done any of these yet, happy to just plant seeds and get them to germinate.

Darren I did not think that was even possible, I have always thought that from a grafted plant you can only take another graft, you cannot get it to root.

To be honest when I asked the question I was really wondering if Charlie ever tried to root the hard wood, I have never tried that and wondered if it works ok.
