Good lord, you’re going to have to send your wife off to a convent next spring to get all that work done. 🤯 nice setup though. 👍🏻

This doesn't look like a hobby.
A very bad addiction! LOL
I travel a lot with work so I dream up things to do for fun while bored in the hotel room. Then when I get home, I have something to tinker with. And of course trying to create things to give me things to do as retirement comes my way in the next 15 years or so.

That's a cool setup. What are the containers holding the cuttings?
They are called CONEtainers. I got them from Greenhouse Megastore online. I like them because it gives me a lot of pots that take up a small footprint. They come in 7in and 10 in. I just go the 10 in. The tray is very sturdy and store well. They also can stack on top of each other with pots in them until use. The tray is 1ft x 1.5ft. 7x14 slots, 98 pots or CONEtainers.

She would never let me send her away, wouldn't let me have that kind of control. LOL. I take advantage of the one week a year where I don't have to do her list of chores and get to do my hobbies! She actually did help me build the Mist Frame, last weekend I was home. Probably felt bad she was going to beach and I was left taking care of the dogs and cats. (Of course I love it, but will let her think its a chore, LOL)
Wanted to get some air layering done this weekend, but will have to wait until two weeks when I get back from work travel. She is wanting some heavy pruning, so reluctantly letting me put up the annoying aluminum "ornaments" on the trees, LOL. Of course she would rather to the quick chop now, but I want to try and get a tree from them with layers.

Currently I am running on a fairly quick schedule. Since I don't have a humidity tent or shade cloth on it this season, its more open to the elements (wind and sun). The light mist can blow some. Also they are under a large oak, but do get some brief sun. So since I have to travel for work the next 9 days, I wont be able to monitor. So ive gone with every 5min 30 sec pulse. Eventually ill probably cut back to 10-15min 15 sec pulse, which is what I typical used.
Ill write up some detailed information this week on the frame and mist parts while traveling for work.
