The gears are always turning over here. You don't really need to scrape the stem if you're using compound. I'm picturing some plastic balls like ping pong size. Split with holes and a click to close deal. You'd pop them straight on the branches with no prep to the plant. Being plastic they keep the inside moist. It's like you got a handful of these ping pong balls. Click click click bam cloning process done in like 20 seconds. Cut them off in a week or whatever time you determine the process to take. It's looking bitchin in my head, is anyone else seeing it with me!?
