Also you seem to know how to grow a great AeAe but I would look up PR-Giants posts, here, to brush up on sprouting small starts like you have. He seems to have that perfected.
I don't look at it as if I perfected something, all I did was eliminate the obvious mistakes. Once a grower eliminates the obvious mistakes then the small starts become easier to grow then the large starts because they respond more quickly to proper conditions.

I've posted thousands of photos over the past dozen years showing members how to properly grow small vegetative nubs but now I'm thinking it might have been better to show how not to grow small vegetative nubs.
