In another thread (http://www.habitat-talk.com/index.p...uts-question-transfered-from-qdma-forum.5553/) I'm documenting my experience with Seguins and ACs. On of the things I want to try is etiolated grafting. It requires growing seedlings in the dark and then grafting them. This is usually done with chestnuts, but I figured I'd try it with ACs and seguins. I doubt it will work, but I like to experiment.
I've already learned something. The importance of light is producing top growth. Of 66 ACs started normally under lights, 52 have produced top growth. Of the 7 I'm starting in the dark 0 have top growth. They are not in total darkness. I just put them under the table holding my grow box where the other ACs are. I presume they will eventually produce top growth, but the lights have clearly had an impact on the other ACs. Other than the light the nuts were handled identically.
Thanks,
Jack
