When you guys put flower stalks in TC, do you cut them in pieces to get more plants? Or are you aiming for 1 new plant per stalk?
Because I've heard it would be possible to get more than 1 new plant from a flower stalk when you add rooting hormone to the medium, put the flower stalks vertically in the medium with the original bottom side, and rub some shooting hormone on the stalk end sticking out of the medium.
This would ofcourse require your flower stalk to grow first before cutting it off, but since the major energy drain comes from forming the flower and the seeds, your motherplant would still have a very high survival chance as long as you cut the flower stalk before floration.
