"Synthetic" Seeds

[waterproof808]

Anyone heard of this tech? Basically it is tissue culture propagules that are encapsulated in plant propagation material. They use the technology for large scale papaya farms.

There is a company on IG @eastcoastnewyorklabs offering the service. And a few other places. Im not sure on the pricing though.

I just looked them up and they seem interesting. I emailed them with some questions. I would like to try some of those weird looking weed tadpole eggs.

I emailed them for the price list, they have some nice cultivars. A local grower I follow just got their Sour Diesel and Chem 91. They come in a small little test tube with medium.

Whats the reasoning behind them? Do they do this for a clone type genetics thing in seed form in otherwords same phenos

nice! Yeah they mentioned having Dogwalker OG and Black Lime Reserve as those eggs on their website, and I thought "man that sounds good right now." I've been looking for a tissue culture spot that sells to the public, not sure if these guys do but that would be sweet.

tissue culture has a lot of benefits over traditional clones, but otherwise these are just like clones. I think.

supposedly cleaner "clones" that can be transported and stored easier than traditional cuttings.

Thats very cool. Now im interested

Sounds cool AF. Does it take 2 months to get culture to be plantable & transplant into medium?

Let us know if you get a price list! I want to try these bad now lol

I think tissue culture resets the genetics, so mutations and whatnot are less likely.

I'm chatting with them now.
They have ECSD, Triangle Kush, and HP13 F4 at 2 for 100.

They come in a sterile test tube and you grow them in there for a couple months and then you can transplant.

Yes, apparently 2-3 months in a test tube before they are big enough to transplant.

Thanks for the info. I'd do something like this than mess with Strainly cuts

Me too, the only thing I question is the authenticity of some of the older, harder to obtain cuts they have like the chem 91 or TK. They cost about the same or less then alot of stuff on strainly though, so its not too big a risk.

It looks like the seeds are from nodal tissue culture, not meristem tissue culture, which means that the clone isn't "cleaned up" the way it is with meristem culture. They do say they test the mothers for HpLVd though.

 

[waterproof808]

I'm not sure if they make moms from meristem culture and then make seeds from those using nodal tissue culture.

I'm thinking of ordering a couple of them to try out. They aren't as convenient as regular clones but I love the idea behind them, and the company is fast and responsive when you contact them. And if yours don't grow for some reason, they'll replace them. Seems like a fun little side project.

 

[waterproof808]

I’ll probably wait until they restock dogwalker and see what else they have to offer.

Is a cut of Chem 91 or TK really THAT hard to get when they're both readily available in seed form?

Grow the S1s, make a cut of your selection and there ya go.

HP13 is slightly harder to come by though, but I think topdawg may have that in seed form.

I get ppl want specific cuts, but literally anyone can make cuts of anything they run and claim it as "their" cut
