Today we'll be exploring black sapote to find out if this fruit really tastes like chocolate pudding. I'll also talk a bit about growing them, and show you my black sapote trees that I grew from seed, including showing you the things that went well and not so well with the growing in my experience.

Black sapote (Diospyros nigra), also called chocolate pudding fruit, are in the persimmon family, and are native to Mexico, Central America and Columbia. Seedlings are frost tender, but when mature and established, the trees can survive light frosts and temperatures down to around -2.2C (28F).

These fruit trees are quite beautiful and the unusual fruit is like nothing I've tried before. Definitely a great rare fruit tree to incorporate into a subtropical garden.

If these are too tropical to grow in your area, I also show my persimmon tree, (related to black sapote), which might be a more suitable option for you to grow in your area. My tree is a 'Fuyu' Persimmon and can be grown down to USDA cold hardiness Zone 7.

I decided to take clones of my cannabis plants. I took cuts from the Peyote Gorilla I was growing and then cloned them in 6 days using rapid rooters, CloneX, athena cleanse and a humidity dome. Watch this video so you can see step by step how I cloned cannabis for the first time as a beginner.

By popular demand we are showing you how we care for our mom plants. We are going to prune these mom plants down very small and feed them by top dressing nutrients so they will slowly put out new clones and and we can use them in the future.

In this video I am going to show you how to harvest the comfrey leaves that you may have growing, as well as dig up the roots. Comfrey- Symphytum officinale is an attractive plant with large broad leaves, (deep green in the Russian variety, and lighter green in the English variety) with tubular flowers that range in blue to purple, and white. You will need gloves, a collecting basket and a small trowel. I will be creating another video on how to process, and clean the roots and leaves for drying.

I'm back from hibernating over the winter and getting anxious to get growing! So I just ordered 2x Heavy Duty Walk-in Greenhouses 9.8'L x 6.56'W x 6.56'H last night and I can daisy chain them too they have doors on each end to make a 20 foot long tunnel greenhouse. I'm not letting mother nature get in my way this summer. Made lots of clones over the past week and got a good start on my first couple of batches

Growing Cannabis From Clones

Professor DeBacco


Clones = Exact Copies
Clones are more properly called asexual vegetative propagation is a common method of propagation for cannabis and other plants.

Goal is to maintain exact chemical profile of the original plant which in some cases could be a genetic isolate.



Basic Cloning Process is Simple
Minimal materials are needed

Many are present in a general growing operation

How much resources you allocate will depend on the scale of your operation.

Simple Materials List
Stock/Mother Plant
Male plants can also be cloned for breeding purposes
However, plant material should not be an autoflower
Knife or even sharp scissors
Rooting Hormone
Will increase success rate
Propagation Environment
Diffused light (under 300 PAR)
High Relative Humidity: (90% RH)
Temperature: 78⁰F-82⁰F (25⁰C-28⁰C)

Rooting and Clones
Clones will form adventitious roots and will lack a central tap root that forms when starting with seeds.

Grafting your fruit trees in the spring and leaving your grafts unattended is not a good idea. Summer pruning of the excess growth and thinning of bad placed branches is a more efficient use of your rootstock resources. In this video, I show how to prune your grafts in the summer, using basic pruning techniques. Managing late grafts, so they have a chance to grow when competing with the more developed ones, is also covered.
