Yeah nice fat tips are very aesthetically pleasing, but mids make the most sense as you get to start your own fresh tips and not have to worry about stretching. I’ve started to focus more on buying mids, buying rooted stumps, and if I do get an unrooted tip I will usually chop the tip as soon as it comes in and graft that tip out, and root the mid. It’s such a better strat then attempting to root a tip, letting it root and then having it stretch a bit and look ugly. I’d rather just chop them right away bust out a quick tip graft, and then get a mid to root. If they’re the same price for unrooted tip or mid, then sometimes I go tip if I plan on doing what I just mentioned, but if I can get the mid at a discount then I’m going mid almost every time.
That’s something I didn’t really understand when I first started two years ago, but it’s something most of us eventually learn overtime after dealing with the annoying process of unrooted tip etiolation.
