Has anyone tried...

[Gquebed]

Is anyone using those tissue culture cloning kits?

 

[Gquebed]

Nobody?

 

[TheLastJuror]

No im not usin em

Unessential to grow cannabis

What do you mean?

 

[hellmutt bones]

I tried it but did not inhale

 

[iHearAll]

can i splice it with a cow's DNA and ooz THC from it's utters?

 

[CaptainCAVEMAN]

I read up about it but didn't want to buy a pile of stuff to fix what really isn't broken.

Not sure what you mean by not essential. But... probably true.

However, extremely convenient if you want to keep dozens and dozens of strains on the go without having a mother room.

 

[Gquebed]

Anyway...just wanting to know if anybody has tried the tissue culture kits being sold and how effective they might be...

 

[iHearAll]

but in all seriousness what is it? is it the technique of taking a sliver of plant and growing it up?

You don't need them. Why get them?

Id like a kit. Pretty sure all clone only og growers would love to take cuts off a TC mother plant.

Ya. From what i understand just a small piece of leaf is put in a solution in a covered petri dish and it grows... in the right considtions... roots in the solution and then you can plant and start a mother for clones. The advantage being that you can keep dozens of these on the go virtually forever. All kinds of genetics kept in a couple square feet.

Brilliant. If the kits actually work... which is what im trying to find out... and how well...

Well... why is fairly obvious if you know what it is all about...

And i guess the process really cleans the strain up or what ever that means. Cuz everything is so sterile or something. Its been a while since I've heard tissue culture. Id love to do it though.

The sterility part is the one that could be problematic ...maybe? The procedure has to be 100% sterile or it fails and i wonder how hard that is to achieve without a lab??? Is that maybe why we havent heard more about this?

Thats part of the feedback i would like to hear about. If there's peeps using these kits at home with success...

Think i might drop the coin and give it a shot. Just dont know which kit/system is the most reliable...

 

[iHearAll]

Well pftek is done frequently at home. As is cheese making.

 

[dabbindylan]

What do you mean?

It a useless committee...if u knew how ptc's worked ud know thats a pointless money dump...if u didnt take a viable clone when it was ready or think its too late u need more experience n less money to burn
