Idk if this is stupid question to add to your thread but . If water temp is cool and stable how about oxygen? Are the roots to small to use as much ? Then it comes to evaporation . From tube that’ll lose your o2 . Crap gonna read on this or my mind will wonder .

Crazy . No light to take in but plant can still keep roots and everything going without photosynthesis. Seen your links added on page . Gotta get to reading .
They don’t need photosynthesis, they are living in sugar....but i wouldn’t grow them in dark, cuz can have probs acclimatizing.

Just showing that light doesn't affect them as drastically as you would expect during tissue culture process....

Oxygen, co2 no orob...they don’t need much....sterile conditions are overall main issue.

Check out the microclone vids linked in the thread.

Just did a little light reading on tissue culture.

Seems like this also paved the way for modern genetic modification. This is more the way of cloning, as opposed to propagation.

Interesting... How practical is this for small scale applications?

Think this way: you are growing cells/tissue, not plants. Most important things: sterile tek, sugar-hormone solution,temp, humidity...

The way it works: tissue placed in sterile conditions, fed with sugar-hormone solution/agar gel, transferred to diff hormone to build diff “organs” (branching, multiplying stems, rooting), then moved out of sterile conditions to acclimate before reg grow.

Cloning is a type of propagation....my whole effort is to make this available to anyone with a small room/tent, pressure cooker, hepa fan, and the ability to learn sterile technique...

Not rocket science...been used since 60’s by horticulturalists & ag seed cos.

Watch me do it....or do it in parallel...you can buy the kit for convenience (i’m not involved in kit company), but you can also use your own tools/supplies...the nutrient-hormone solution/gel you should buy readymade, tho...

Again, it’s really all about sterile tek....and nutrient-hormones...

Ask me questions on the thread...so others interested can see questions/answers, and to save me duplication...

Scale doesn’t matter, tho it does have some extra advantages for large scale use....for us, it’s main values are for storage of great/rare genetics (testube in a fridge), trading, disease elimination...

Tech exists to take pollen/callus, create synthetic seeds...will work on this down the road...

Yea... I'm gonna have to get up to speed on tissue culture lol. Not even familiar with it. Looks interesting.
I do it for mushrooms with agar, but I love finding alpha males in cannabis, I seen one of the big timers in the industry was studying how to only pass traits from the female plants, its the total oppisite of my goals for cannabis, I love seeing that a male has improved the offspring compared to the mother.
Alpha Male genetics will be a family members side branch actually.

Shroom culturing is harder than this...you already have the sterile tek nailed...

I heard that, my ass figured out all the shroom shit way back lol I have to always say time to take a break from growing anymore lol but yea sterilization is #1
Also ppl.dont realize a shotgun fruiting chamber are beastly for clones. Put cuts direct in perlite.

Do you have pics of an example of this setup?
Here’s mine, but lots of diff versions, google “ez cloner build”

Any kind of tote/bucket w a lid, works

Cya drain pan

Submersible pump, pvc, 360 mister heads

Big holes/collars for various cords in/out (pump, ph/ppm meter, chiller hoses, etc; little holes/collars for the victims)

With this kinda coverage & a humidity dome, roots in 10-14 days, 100% survival...

Full cloning process in my grow link above....

Enjoy!
