      Hello fellow mycologist! At the start of the video she states that you can create millions and millions of plants this way. I know for a fact this is not possible in mycology as eventually genetic senescence creeps in after you've expanded mycelium X amount of times and you get diminished results and you have to start again from spores.. I'm curious if this is the case with plant cloning.

Good stuff, I used to do a lot of micro for work and one particular company refused to buy a laminar flow because they6 said it was too expensive, so I was forced to do all the culturing in a small closed room just using basic aseptic techniques. Despite losing many cultures (fungi) to other non specific ones, the usual culprits, we did indeed succeed with "jam jars" and no "proper equipment" LOL.

I have long wanted to setup my own BSC but haven't dedicated the space or time to it yet.
    You may not want to introduce other contaminants into your space but this skill set translates almost 1-to-1 into other forms of Micro work. If you or Robert have any interest in home Fermentation or Mycology you could easily expand your setup to include them. Additionally, some of the ingredients you mentioned (like agar) may be available cheaper from a supplier outside of the dedicated tissue culture space.

      Vinegar is a very poor choice it has chemical similarity to the auxins. Normally phosphoric, sulfuric, or nitric acid would be good choices in hydroponics as they are all plant nutrients, citric acid may also be good and does not effect the nutrient balance(food grade is often found with canning supplies at low cost). Phos is the most common hydroponic pH down.
      Non-adultrerated ammonia is a fair choice for pH up (it will convert to more stable ammonium as it grabs protons) but KOH or potassium carbonate are also good (not bicarb. aka hydrogen carbonate). Most other bases are either poorly soluble or will interfere with the biochemistry; sodium is generally tolerable in very small amounts though a few species are quite sodium tolerant.
      Nitric acid is a tricky one for normal hydroponics with large active plant growth, plants love to absorb both -NO3 anions and +NH4 cations in much larger quantities than other nutriants. The plants exchange -OH ions for nutrient anios which raises the pH and with nitric you can end up chasing the pH if not aware of the bigger picture. Likewise ammonium cations +NH4 get exchanged for +protons and this lowers the pH. So the two must be balanced, and that balance varies with plant specie. The situation is slightly different with tissue culture because of limited nutrient uptake, and the media is a gel so the bulk solution cannot readilly buffer local changes in pH.

Yes, if you have a bigger budget and access, of course get the best of the best. All I know is vinegar is like 3 bucks for a gallon 😂 and my cultures have turned out great if I even had to use vinegar. As you know, before adjusting PH, it tends to be in the low 4 range. Vinegar isn’t needed unless someone went too far over, which is less likely. Btw, back on topic of budget, how much do the options you mentioned cost?

I using the X-acto knife, which uses the same style of blade but easier and safer to attach. Using a knife will make the wound on the ex-plant smooth and less susceptible to infection (from my experience). And I am afraid that the media will be contaminated so I heat them up in microwave and drop some bleach into each jar while still liquid and leave it till there is no smell of the bleach before using(for a couple of days), the result comes out great.

    As far as first plants to tissue culture strawberries because they are easier-ish and there are a few rarer varieties that I'd like to incorporate in breeding Premier aka Howard 17, and Catskill.

    Hi, Great vid. Your clean box is very similar to the one i use for my brewing yeast culture play.. However i use a pane of glass on the top of my box instead of inverting it onto its lid, which provides much better vision, and also helps stop inadvertently breathing into the box when peering in through the arm holes tho that could be just me..

    Now I'm working to get back into it in my home 'lab'. I have quite a few of the supplies, but I'm still not satisfied with any of the culture containers I can find. I do however... *really* like (dare I say ❤) those jars with the PP lids you are using. Can you please share where to get those?

      You don't get problem when you leave your tools in bleach?
      After my TC, I wash all tools with water and wipe them but all my tools get corroded each time I use and sterilize in bleach.

    • @plantsinjars
      @plantsinjars  ปีที่แล้ว +45

      Sure! For BAP, Kinetin, and 2iP, you would weigh 25 mg of the powdered cytokinin, add 3 or 4 drops of distilled water, then add 1 M HCL solution a few drops at a time until the cytokinin is dissolved. Then add 250 mL of distilled water and transfer to a sealed container for future use. The process for making auxin stock solutions (NAA, IBA, and IAA) is the same, but you would substitute either 1 M NaOH or KOH instead of using 1 M HCL. Wear proper PPE and work in a well ventilated area with the powders :) They are banned in certain countries for a reason

      There is definitely an increased risk of contamination, but with proper sterile technique, we can lower out error margin to the point that it doesn't matter to non commercial people. It doesn't really matter to us if we lose 2-3out of ten jars (Not even that much once you get your technique practiced) but for someone making 1 million jars it really adds up

    Presterilized scalpel blades come in a foil pouch with a cardboard insert to allow attachment to the handle without removing the blade. Peel back the foil so the slotted shank is exposed. Grasp the pouch, with your gloved fingers tightly on the flat. This will allow you to insert the handle while the blade is secured, covered and still sterile. Dont ever take the blade out of the pouch without the handle attached. That way lies madness(or great ouchieness). Excellent video, easy for newbies to follow. Keep it up!

    Fun fact that symbol on your plastic is not a recycle symbol. It's a plastic classification symbol. This was a ploy by big plastic they made a symbol similar to the recycling symbol to trick ignorant customers into thinking that all plastic is recyclable. While more than just numbers 1 and 2 are recyclable, 1 and 2 are almost always the only ones recycled because the cost of recycling the other numbers is way more expensive.
