Yea sorry about that, maybe me and you can learn from each other? What's your setup? Have you taken any pullings?

I have a flower stalk currently in distilled water and it was floating but is now mostly under water. Look at my setup, can't say it is working but it's a cool experiment. My setup so far is 2 100w equivalent CFL desk lamp lights at 5000k daylight and just a plain sterilized plastic Rubbermaid tub with distilled water. Water temp is around 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

Anyone's advice for us is welcome and appreciated as well. :D

Hey don't know if you are still reading this post anymore but I said I would update for you. I did not have a successful strike; I do not think the light was strong enough for the process. I will try again next year using peat moss or live sphagnum moss. Overall, very cool experiment and learned a lot along the way. Oh, and the original VFT it multiplied anyway after the cut flower stalk! Anyways, cheers in your future endeavors man.
