This isn ' t any different to a person having a job when social security exists . <| sep |> Yes , definitely need some kind of mom space . That many cuttings at one time is like the snake swallowing a rat . Probably have to do several trims over a period of time . Pretrimming can stimulate a lot of new smaller growth , and help get the numbers up there . Then some cuttings from trimming the lower branches of the first batches . Those seeds I got from you PDN x Bhut Purple are a prime example of the value of cuttings . Got green plants , and purple plants . Peppers that resemble squids , with tons of little ' arms ', normal peppers , purple peppers , and green peppers . Two of the ten plants seem like they could be keepers . Functional and well shaped peppers . Plant characteristics seem desirable . There is a significant and delicious flavor in one of them . If I were looking to go into production with this unstable strain , cloning those two plants could fill my fields . But I agree . Practically speaking , most of us will be just fine with seeds from commercial growers .
