In case you missed this last year. I am sending out some really thick, sometimes short cuttings. Start those this way.

" was afraid to try this, but was sooooooo easy. I took the large cutting, cut where I knew for certain I would have a bud on each cutting. Stuck it half the thickness in soil, watered well, and left alone. I did put them right under the lights. I wish I'd cut smaller pieces, I think I'd have twice as many. But look how nice and straight she's going to grow!!"

Just a suggestion, once shes a bit taller, try slowly covering those babies with dirt. If you do this correctly you can get the green new shoot to form roots. Cut diagonally into the soil at this point will give you a rooted green shoot 1-2 ft tall and the nodes still under the soil will produce more shoots and hence more plants.
