Full grid and all but one of the redundant letters. I can see the wordplay in 4d but can’t fathom the extra letter (which would accompany “c”). Assistance gratefully received!

I think rock refers to crack, Jack, as in crack cocaine

So the extra letter is the first of the source plant

Thanks, Quisling. My parsing was completely wrong, so no wonder I couldn’t see it!

I've done it all except the second letter of 36a! Am i looking for a Period or climbers (unlikely)? So i fear an error. And yet the three letters re checked . I assume redundant letter is "i" Any help much appreciated!

Climbers it is - in a “connected” group. Period is part of the wordplay which also an anagrind; the extra letter is indeed “i”.

“also includes” not just “also”. Apologies!

I have a full grid apart from 2a. Is it a proper noun? I know the extra letter. Just a slight nudge, please.
