Two tubs are back up and running. One is bare bottom curing rock now and the other just got 38 RBTA's.

Good to hear!   Man I wish I even knew of a wholesaler that HAD 38 RBTA's to even sell me, lol!  Looking forward to seeing your progression!

I actually got the RBTA's from a fellow hobbyist. They took over his 110. Our plan is to crack up large scale production of the RBTA's. I would love to be able to make a dent in wild collection.

Four tubs running now. Two have RBTA's, 81 in total and their propagation has already begun.

Hey Steven

How are you propagating your RBTAs?

I was up to 13 last year before the flood took my house.  I am back up to 4 now again.  I also have a beautiful purple LTA that I have been thinking about propagating.

I have been cutting mine.  I have thought about using a rubber band around them to encourage them to split on their own.  Any thoughts on that?

Thanks

Craig

HI,
Congrats on making this great undertaking happen. I read through your posts but can't find mention of the greenhouse covering material. Sorry if I missed it. What is it and what UV penetration does it allow? I've read some farms use fiberglass versus plastic sheeting but UV light ..or lack of seems to be the issue.

Thanks,

John

We are cutting them now, along with whatever natural splitting is occurring.
