Advanced Propagation Techniques (Root & Shoot Setting & Hormone Treatment)

[DARKSIDER]

I don't make them no Darksider, I am not on the product development team either but I have been giving feedback to them from basic product testing offering advice & troubleshooting a few options that may become wholesale in the future.

If I want to start a business using them what price can I get them for.

Can I have a set designed specific to my needs that I can stock for resale.

I seen these kits in the lab I have been watching for a year or so. They are good practical no spill Vessels. The micro prop company didn't want to pass the name of the manufacturer on or their procedures for cleaning & initiation but I did more research, asked about how & why they use different media & spoke about my work experience with micropropagation & what I have done for the last 15.

Long & the short of it is I'm cute, I learn fast and it's hard to pull a fast one on me & I even learn the stuff that they didn't mean to speak about so bit I have built up/refined the list of equipment needed from a bag of junk to this multipurpose laboratory setup that is as practical & adaptable in the field as it is the lab or shipping plant material..

A no nonsense approach to cannabis cultivation.

Good answer Mate Dave ive just been to the uk section and seen similar over there looks similar to me anyroad either way onwards and upwards best of luck to you both

What's going on in the UK forum? I've been having a look now & then but I'm real busy fella.

Got mate coming to visit Saturday, we got a mental weekend planned down the coast so I might not be about much next few days as I have some irrigation to install in the citrus orchard. If you need me send us a PM. I hope you get on well with your micro props. Thanks for the kind words.

I'm happy with the selection of kit I have listed in this thread, the nutrients are the cheapest available retail, kit's all multipurpose & you can see how well suited the stirrer hotplate is to the listed procedures & the rocker is taking propagators/propagation up a level..

This is Advanced propagation

You'd have to be a right idiot to fail rooting explants in the rocker using this liquid media. The protocol is big pimping..

It has all the bells & whistles needed, if you like gadgets these are the bare essentials for optimisation.

I'm glad you started this thread Mate! I have supplies on the way to do the same.
Cheers!

Question. Clonex web site lists that the gel has a shelf life but doesnt give a time but instead a condition of the product. My 100 ml container is still about half full after close to a couple years and its still nice and blue and thick like it was. Stored in a cool place but not fridge.

The clone spray is new but do any of you growers have an idea if there is a time on Clonex gel and clone mist. I dont use that much and it still looks good but $30 for one small of each is money for nutes etc.

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing this information. This is the kind of thing you just don't see very often: info that you would have to dig for 5 years to find.

Much respect to you.

I want to mention a few points in relation to this thread

1. The company that manufactures these boxes is called WeVitro
2. I think that people should be aware that using sucrose in your rooting medium is in invitation for pathogens, unless you are working in a flow hood with sterile equipment (which most people are not)
3. As a tissue culture specialist, I think that you are really confusing micropropagation with propagation. Micropropagation means that you will be undergoing multiple rounds of multiplication in vitro, usually with the capacity to keep this going indefinitely. My udnerstanding is that the protocol you are describing is somewhere in-between. I am not saying that it is wrong, but I do not think that it is accurate to describe it as micropropagation.
4. Most people will not be capable of maintaining a sterile environment with sucrose in the media, and so would be better off using surface sterilization of their cuttings followed by aseptic culture in culture vessels such as those which you've listed.

I am curious as to what gas exchange ports you have used on the WeVitro boxes?

Another thing to mention about the LED lighting system with these boxes is that the light intensity gets lower the farther along the 'chain' that you are in the number of connected boxes, and as well the fewer boxes that you connect to the LED controller the stronger the light intensity will be.

Additionally, people using aseptic culturing of their clones with boxes like these should modify their culture vessels to have gas exchange ports, as the boxes do not allow much without it.
