So i have had my RTBA for about a year now and have manually split him twice. The first split went great but the mouth but the was off center in each after they closed back up. I made sure to split them almost perfectly down the middle with one cut. I laid them out making sure the foot and mouth we in the middle and cut. After they healed up they looked great and we eating like normal but their mouths were off center. So i waited two more months and decided to split them again and same thing near perfect line up and cut now these are also off center.


Now my question does anyone know if i can cut them anyway to get their mouth to being back in the center like a pacman section?

Im fragging them to be able to start selling them but I dont want to sell ones with off centered mouths.

It just takes time. I wouldn't cut them for aesthetic purposes. Cut to propagate and leave to heal. The mouth will migrate to center over time. Some strains are quicker than others.
