I've been a good boy lately, so I decided to treat myself by purchasing a beautiful carbon fiber violin bow a couple of days ago. Since it is a $1400 bow, the maker naturally sent it signature required. It was scheduled to arrive today, and I made sure I could hear the buzzer all day as I did not want to miss the Fed Ex guy. I am in the middle of a harvest trimming my ass off, anyway. My buzzer rings at about 3pm and it's Amazon with a package. I wasn't expecting any Amazon stuff, but I forget that I order things all the time. I waited until about 7pm for the Fed Ex guy, then stepped out quickly to deliver some weed to customers that popped by. Lo and behold, what is waiting for me in my hallway??? My bow! The lazy, dishonest Fed Ex bastard announced himself as Amazon so he wouldn't have to climb my stairs and get my signature! It could easily have been stolen, it's happened before. I am of half a mind to pretend that I never got the bow, and make Fed Ex pay to get my $1400 back. So many people out of work, and this fucking asshole does business like this. Smh...

Well, I did claim that the bow never arrived. Fed Ex will be paying for a new one, fuck those assholes. I just received the second bow, I have 30 days to return it for a full refund, so I am going to return it in a couple of weeks. That way, I'll get to keep the original bow, and get my money back. The first bow is a dream, unreal tone, resonance and handling. Better than I'd hoped for. By the by, the bow manufacturer paid for ASR service this time that is guaranteed to get a signature. The fed ex guy announced himself, so I buzzed him in. Not only did he not come to my door, but he left the bow outside instead of inside my secure hallway. Un-fucking-believable. He just rang the bell and ran away, couldn't even stick around two seconds to throw it inside. SO glad I made them pay. Thanks, Fed Ex. Fuck you very much...

New cloner finally arrived. A bit of an overkill for making four clones, but it's the smallest one they make. I'm taking clones next weekend. Question for anyone who does this. I have to take clones then drive five hours to my sister's place. If I just place the cut area in paper towel do you think they will be okay for that long?

Fresh cuttings. We can legally have four plants at any stage per household so this is a going to be done at my sister's place.

From what I have read you need to keep them in water from the time they are cut, however I'm sure someone with more experience can verify whether that is true or not. The article said something about air getting into the stems if they are not submerged.

I could probably make something for the trip if that's the case. The cloner came with a whole bunch of extra neoprene pucks that I could use in some way.

When a cutting is taken there is a chance air can get into the hollow area. This embolism can lead to the death of the cutting.
One way to attempt to avoid an embolism is to immediately take a cutting and put it in water and then cut off a small piece of the stem while under water.
I'm not sure but I think an embolism is more likely to happen when taking a cutting with lights on vs lights off due to tension.

You can also cut long...do the moist paper towel around the bottom in a ziploc. I've kept cuttings like that in the fridge for weeks. No issues rooting. I like to take a big cutting and then when being used break it down into you clones.

I sent cuts to New Mexico that way. Wet paper towels and sprayed the leaves. They arrived 2 days later and my buddy was able to get most all of them to root.
