Who Are The Coconut Crew? #TCUK

this isn't new in the uk. in the usa its already becoming quite mainstream. and uk hobbists have been doing this with orchids etc for years. its just that most of the canna community doesn't look to scientific horticulture for anything related to growing weed. tissue culture kits are available online in the uk already, all you would really need is an autoclave or pressure cooker to start yourself up. but this kit will be nice for a newbie to start up before getting some better equipment.

Don’t really think he is claiming MP/ TC to be some sort of new technology. As far as being ‘mainstream’, I would respectfully disagree. Perhaps in the legal big business side, but as far as mom and pops (as I believe he is targeting this towards) this isn’t the case. As you take a look around the members of ICmag, I don’t believe most members are into TC as the ‘cut and clonex’ or aerocloner is the ‘mainstream’

The big deal about my kit is that you can maintain sterility,, the uvc bag is 100% new and my work,, the idea to use ozone for explant sterilising environments inside a sterile vented bag is total new to cannabis tc,,,

Some things in doing are new,, some things are simplified high tech tek,,, the beauty of what I'm doing is making things simple,, this is the time people realise the impact tc can have on the grow game,, I'm trying it accessible and fun,, with a full support network to boot,

The idea of calus state storage is new,, embryogenis is fairly unheard-of,, somaclonal variation techniques,, somstic hybridisation and a bag full of the most forward thinking stims on the market including rhizopon,, which BTW clonex removed from there formulation,,,

It teaches alot,,, it askes you to think,, its a tool for noobs and the same noobs will sware by it as they become masters,, that's the real plan bro,, kick up the younuns

I have been really busy with my jigga crop atm bro,, but your on the list for testing modules 1 and 2 witch are surface sterilisation and microcloning,, il do the video and send the first testers out soon as I'm not sat in trim prison 2019

Rick- have been looking into tc and most Canna related info I find is on meristem propagation. Is there a way to go with an even smaller explant (like a fan leaf or say all the way down to a single cell)

Thanks for such a good question

Yes,,, protoplast culture,, it's a module,, leaf explants are for indirect oganogenisis,,, we will be doing root regen in exactly the same way,,, meristem from rootips could possibly be easier than disecting ashoot tip apical meristem

Suspended cell culture is where we get into somatic fusion with peg,, peg is a fusion stim,, I'm currently talking to aqualab in Sheffield to aquire fantastic new range of stims,, specially made and packaged for the kit

Respectfully in response, I was saying that tissue kits are already for sale in the UK.
And yes tc is part of main stream agricultural. Its a know method for plant nurseries etc to cure diseases etc. Cannabis growing has only recently entered what I'd call mainstream agriculture and tbh it's taken aong time for them to realise that canna can be treated the same as any other plant.
Plus you're comparing icmag growers to what's going on in cannabis culture, get on Instagram every body is doing it.

OK, firstly, if ozone was a good idea, tissue labs would already be using it. They don't..
That's why it's new to tc culture with cannabis because its unneeded.

Secondly callus storage certainly isn't new in horticulture. Nor is it new in cannabis.. Get on social media and see what goin on in legal states. And worldwide.

I'm not dissing you. I think it's nice you are bringing something new to people who are entry level. But remember you're not gonna be able to have completely pest free/ disease free clones unless you are usi g something like apical merristem tissue culture which requires a microscope. And I'm not sure your kit would be able to I corporate that since its a sterile bag.

And plus yeah clonex isn't involved but you might need a rooting hormone in the media which is effectively the same thing..

Kudos for trying to educate people knowledge is key ��

I have just had confirmation that the bags have been dispatched to me,, 30 days max and we are cooking with gass


I'm not saying I invented tc,, a few kits are available,, but none that are advanced,, none that use ozone or uvc,, none have this set of equipment and protocol,, it took a real long time to put it together,, it was even more difficult for me writing it down,

To me this is exiting work,,, I've thought about this for ages but didn't see the fun in it,, now I do,, teaching and interaction is my game,, i like people to work as a team too,, what I'm offering is a program,,i teach people to teach others soon I may have put positive vibes into loads of gardens all over the world and that's without being a seed hack ,, that's what I call good shit,,

Pretty much anyone in this thread willing to try this stuff in the next few months is probably going to get a present in the mail from me,, the objective it to get you personally loving it,, then and only then have I done my job

Thats for being so supportive guys,, I'm really working hard on this and I honestly believe we have edge in the weed game over the rest of the world,, icmag always has and always will

I will always support what I say with evidence,, but you will have to back read my shit

"100% of yam nodal segments were free of microbial contamination. In terms of sprouting initiation (7.5 days), sprouting percentage (88%), and sprouts growth (4.81 cm), all were improved in comparison to the conventionally used sodium hypochlorite."

See,,, im looking forward,,, wading in science papers,,

Can someone tell me if I'm wrong about ozone and invitro,, combined uvc,, ozone (co3),, no good,, or too good?

Ozone is a carcinogen... I don’t know if it’s an issue or not in practice but that might be a factor for commercial application.

I'm personally using ozone mainly for filling the sterile bags rather than using air,,, i think it's got interesting applications here

I have considered using all sorts of gass to fill the bag,,i think it's best to not fill it with a flammable gass lol
