Well, this is my first post here. I´ve read the entire thread and it has become one of the most helpful site regarding DF.
I`ve planted 8 DF cuttings in January (American Beauty, Halleys Comet, Purple Haze and Physical Graffitti) thanks to RodneyS
I´ve made a few mistakes that i think its important for others to see (or know):
The first one regards water: I put 1 litre (0,2 gallons) every week in winter (temperatures 35-50 F) in a spot with 2 hours of sun. This was a very serious mistake and after a month I could see that some cuttings were losing the green colour. It was a too wet environment. I stop watering them. You don´t need water if the cutting doesn´t have roots...
American Beauty was the first to be moved to a full sun spot. Here it is a yellowish cutting:
Rooting started after the soil was dry. After one month in full sun (50-77 F):
The other cutting that was almost lost was a Purple Haze one. It developed brown patches and it began to look very skinny, with a perfect "six pack":
So, the same again, stop watering it, full sun and only water after i check roots. After one month:
And... since a few days ago, the worst cutting striked back and became the first one with buds:
