I have rooted CCPP cutting after I have used the buds I needed. Do not skimp on quality of the ingredients for the rooting medium Oxygen is necessary for root respiration at all times, but oxygen plays an even more critical role in the initiation of new roots on a cutting. For example, for rooting of cuttings, drainable pore space in the medium should be 45 to 50 percent. Once the cutting has rooted drainable pore space in the medium should be about 20 to 25%. Use a container with a depth NO less than 4 inches. There is no ideal rooting medium, but several combinations of materials can provide a good workable medium with a drainable pore space of 40 to 50 percent. Good quality peat and coarse perlite, or peat and ground pine bark, on a 1:1 or 1:1.5 or 1:2 basis by volume works well in propagation containers approximately 4 inches deep. CLEAN, CLEAN CLEAN.
