likely on google, plants from test tubes is a great frikken book on amazon.are there any pics of something similiar to this? im having a hard time visualizing what youre doing?a piece of stem? sounds a bit Island of Dr Moreau-ish
healthy clean small cutting is cleaned in a sonic toothbrush cleaner with a 3% bleach/h20 mix for a minute, then plain water for a bit, then 3% iso/water for a minute, water then repeated. masked, in a clean dedicated tent its transferred into sterile test tube with a sterile mix of murishage/agar mix and capped. It sits in there with others in racks under a small t5 fixture, sealed in the tent.
I know how to grow mold really well this way too, and sometimes I get lucky and mold free, sometimes with multiple transfers even. I get luckier over time.
the cutting doesnt root(good luck) but does grow callous and stays alive in an animated suspension(?) forever(?). I remove the cut and take another cut, or a clone, or a bit of stem/top whatever and with cloning gel and a sterile root cube I raise another copy or two.
I repeat those steps with the original cut and sometimes get lucky again when its stored. I've never successfully transferred more than 2x.
these are rootless cuttings, not rooted plants, they are not counted as plant counts only weight. I got choo all covered mang....
