no apology necessary.
callus " a proliferating mass of disorganized, mostly undifferentiated or undeveloped cells" (Plant From Test Tubes).
this mass can resemble a chunk of cauliflower partially submerged in medium. I use this stage to multiply and divide, as well as to store genetic moms. I cut off off these and induce rooting, for genetic storage, although more resources are necessary than storing callus culture, or to be transferred to a "shooting" vessel to begin the plant stage.
Osmosis will not transfer dna from one plant to another, without certain circumstances. electricity, polypropyene glycol,bacteria/virus,mechanical dna injection, radioactivity, uv light,radiation all are being used currently(NOT BY ME) to do that. although worm learning comes to mind.....
hormones are available already cut for ease of use. most are unnecessary for keeping culture alive and flourishing for experiments, storage. if you can imagine a grain of salt dissolved in 5 gallons of water, and 1/2ml drop will make another gallon of hormoned water, and a drop of this makes a handy litre of medium mix..not scientifically accurate, but shows how dilute these are at the end. uv light would most likely cause genetic disruptions, failures/freaks. and ozone is unknown in vitro to me. I stay clean, works, mostly. I
my incubation area is a grow tent no longer needed. vents taped shut, no air movement. lysol everytime in and out, wash,clean clothes. minimal peaking. tent was sprayed with alcohol in the beginning. your issues will not be the area, or your sterile medium. It will be in transfer from one jar to another, and most will come from your plant material. there is a fine balance between sterilizing live (or dead) plant material, and disrupting the dna and ending its life. when they die, they can mold. strong established plants mold seldom, even when exposed to air. I no longer use a positive hepa air in the transfer chamber either, so there

....I believe this caused more issue than not. 1 year without, and I have way better results, maybe it was failing in design, not sure, but not necessary here. best frankenstein experiments come from the first knot on your stalk of a mature plant. this is where a virus attacked, changed dna,restabalized and the plant continued/survived. this area is full of strange cells, ready to be cultured.
