I tested the Light Bio Firefly Petunia

[@plantsinjars]

Hello! There is a 1 month update on this plant in my newest video: bit.ly/3UkUnz2

[@joshN9EO]

Link is broken I think? Took me to a page saying restricted video

[@samtails4324]

This took me to a video on plant viruses?

[@plantsinjars]

@@samtails4324 yea it's literally at the end

[@andreaslinden3262]

could u post an update pls? I hope the plant is glowing brighter now?🌿

[@plantsinjars]

There will be an update at the end of my next video!

[@ZettabyteGamer]

I just ordered one of these yesterday! I think they state on their site that the brightest glowing comes from new growth, so you are correct in your statement that it will probably be better looking once its healthy and growing well. First time I've seen your channel too, so far seems like cool content and you seem to be an entertaining host. Will be subscribing!

[@conureking7748]

How long did it take your to arrive?

[@D3moknight]

I have one of these also, and after spending some time in a fresh pot and giving it lots of sun and nutrients, and doing some deadheading of the flowers, it's producing tons of new growth, and the glow has expanded almost all the way down the stem and into the leaves for my plant. I will be taking some cuttings and hopefully creating some siblings for it very soon.

[@daniellebailey6802]

I love to hear this! I can't wait to get mine.

[@boncreationsza]

What happens when you shine a UV light on it and then put in dark room? Or hold it in the sun and then immediately move to a dark room? Please test it and report back

[@carltoncarnivores]

The chemical reaction causing this isn't based on immediate light exposure. It's based on the health of the plant and how actively it's growing, not a phosphate photoreaction and not UV biofluorescence. Flash it in the sun and there will be no difference.

[@whatthefunction9140]

Where can I haz one?

[@cosmicaug]

Dude, unless that was a very special video camera, that's a pretty strong glow! Previous attempts at glowing plants (which I have never had a chance to see) as well as the bioluminescent mycellia that I have had a chance to see (Panellus stypticus & Omphalotus nidiformis) usually require long exposures to photograph and can likely only be seen after acclimating oneself to the dark for a couple of minutes (at least that was my experience with the aforementioned fungi).

[@StephenBlacktampa]

you are correct. I have one plant and the blooms glow quite well considering what is currently available on the market.

[@Jynx2700]

Thank you for doing the "dark room check" on these... I was quite skeptical that it was not camera trickery to get them to glow like they did on the advertisements I saw, not really into flowery plants but gonna have to make an exception for these lol

[@petevenuti7355]

This is definitely a video that will need to follow up!! Want to know if that'll be brighter later and if it was just your eyes weren't adjusted to the dark (most cameras can't pick it up anyway)

[@jamesgibson3582]

I would love to get into tissue culture as a hobby. One day! Very inspiring channel. Back in the day (1990?) I was a TA for a biotech course and we did a GUS transformation of tobacco with a firefly luciferase gene. Very easy to spot the glowing transformants! That was 34 years ago (omg).

[@TheMattcwynar]

Hey thanks for reminding me I bought some of those from light bio. Hopefully mine come soon. 😊

[@chrisb.5570]

I can't wait for the next video! I don't know if I requested it, but I'm definitely interested in seeing it explained. I set up my whole lab space just for this.

[@rora9553]

I’ve always been interested in plants. Your channel is a dream come true, thank you.

[@Ryan_Evicted_Monkey]

I just got mine the other day and it is awesome! Thank you for the video!

[@casualgardeningwithdustin]

Careful with publicly propagating these plants. The applicable patent includes propagation for personal use and not just propagation for resale. It's a bummer because I really wanted to do a propagation video with them for my own channel but now I'll have to buy some un-patented petunias for the video instead. I'm not saying I'm not propagating these plants. I'm not saying I'm propagating these plants. I'm just saying it's probably a good idea to not be seen propagating these plants. ;)

[@RadicallyHonestAutist]

I don't recognize patents on life so I'd absolutely spread them around to people.

Didnt know they were shipping, hope mine comes soon!

[@CorbiniteVids]

The mushrooms they took the genes from glow about the same amount (or maybe even less) so even if you get it fully acclimated it probably won't glow more than you saw. They have the exposure turned up like crazy in the promo images and I'm pretty sure some of them are straight up photoshopped. But hey, it does glow, and that's pretty neat

[@Tyjohn101]

Luckyyy, I preordered mine but haven’t gotten it yet 😭

[@RugMann]

When you preorder, do you only get 1 singular flower?

[@Perses-_-]

​@@RugMann you get one plant in a 4 inch pot that might have a couple blooms on it give it like 3 weeks and it will start to flower it costs $30 with $25 shipping but if you order more then one the price goes down a bit I bought 3 and it came out to like $108

[@floob247]

Awesome! I was looking into buying one of these.

[@jasonbourne1596]

The healthier it is the more it will glow.

[@romanmaglic4117]

[@pyrodaddy2854]

Mine arrived yesterday very faint glow have to be right next to it to see it. Have them under grow lights now i hope they glow more.

[@TaLeng2023]

Is it sterile? Like is there no chance of it accidentally breeding with other petunia in the garden?

[@CaseyJScalf]

Wow, yours looks so good! Mine was beat to crap and definitely does not glow.

[@daniellebailey6802]

Are you located in a warmer zone? I'm wondering if they are shipping out by last frost date? I'm in zone 7a and still patiently waiting.

[@floob247]

Note that the plant is more than likely stressed out from shipping, so it's not as bright as it will be at it's healthiest. The enzymes that create the glow feed off nutrients and need oxygen and CO2 to keep producing. Keep taking care of it and it will glow stronger!

[@Bobotrucker]

Mine is on order.. Tik tok.. Won't ship to Michigan until it's warmer I've been told

[@BoMwarriorVlog]

I thought I read somewhere they grow brightest for the parts actually in the process of growing. 🤔

Hi, I've been following you here for a while now, I came to ask for some help. Recently I have been trying to grow crops in plastic pots, the material is resistant to autoclaving, but the vacuum forms inside when it comes out of the autoclave, causing the pot to crumple, how can I solve this?

[@tristenhunt8400]

Can you put the plants In-Vitro as soon as you get them? Or do you let them get used to your new environment first?

[@plantsinjars]

Usually better to let them acclimate so the plants are as healthy as possible

[@tristenhunt8400]

@plantsinjars Thank you. I was thinking that was the case but wanted to make sure. I just got some philodendrons that I'm going to work with in the lab, but have been letting them acclimate until I get the hormones in. Congratulations on the new setup by the way! Looks amazing!

I left a comment on your previous about meri, try TC your varigated phal with it, the meri tissue in the little green root tip..., altho am unsure if it will work on semi solid or if you need liquid media and a shaker. Im all about orchid species down in Aus and have yet to muck around with phals. Ohhh the slow slippery slope of TC and orchids 😂 sooo rewarding tho

[@VegetarianFeast]

That book has 4.8 rating with over 480 reviews on Audible I'm looking forward to listening to it. 😊

[@nigelthornberry7513]

just wanted to point out I got mine a week ago and a lot of people showing the glow of these are doing it wrong, they only glow at night, it has nothing to do with light. Even the species of mushroom that the dna they used on this plant will only glow at night, so during the day even if taken into a dark room there will be almost no glow. I can confirm this glows as much as the ads show every single part of the plant glows but the leaves, even the stems of the plant glow at night, and glow quite bright it is honestly shocking how much they glow. it glows bright at around 11 am, and around 3 or 4 am it is very bright even in a pitch black room you can see every bit of the plant glowing green all the way from the dirt to the very top flower.

[@dmitriyapak]

Why are you pasting this comment everywhere? Can u possibly upload a picture of what you are describing to your community feed on KZbin? Sorry I'm reading conflicting reviews

[@nigelthornberry7513]

​@@dmitriyapak I don't have a dlsr camera you need a very high quality camera to be able to see the glow the same way as the human eye, and sadly the camera on my phone can not do that lol. But I can 100% assure you it glows just as bright as shown on their site, however you need to care for the plant right to get it to glow. One it needs at least 6 hours of full sun a day that means not on a window sill, it has to be outside or under a grow light like any petunia, you can not grow a happy petunia indoors. And two it needs fertilized regularly one time a week with a water soluble fertilizer, just like you would any petunia you want to see grow well, and the most important part of all it only glows at night it does not matter if you bring it into a dark room in the middle of the day plants are not dumb, even if you mess with the light it knows it is still day. Even the mushroom that they got the dna from to add bioluminescence to the plant only glows at night, this video is the best I have seen so far. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6WbhqehZtWWi6s it really shows the glow because it shows it at night not a dark room in the day and in person it is even a little brighter then that.

[@aviationcompilation455]

[@jakegrow5790]

To be fair I've never seen a glow in the dark product that glows as well as depicted in marketing. They ALWAYS use long exposure shots to advertise. So you can't be too hard on them for doing what everyone else does

[@MD-nh7mb]

I find this rather frightening because no one has informed the bees that we don’t want glowing honey. 😳

[@marcopaganelli6059]

The effect is so cool but I'm wondering if that is really due to the fungi or if it just has been given by some substance the flowers has been treated with cause it should have been visible on all the plant if the fungi conolized the whole plant instead it's shown just from the flowers ... What do you think? May it just be something that won't last? Even if it would be just on the flowers it should be replicated by the plant itself on any flower that arise if that is true than all the plant had been really engeeneered like they attest

[@vascovalle740]

They had slightly progressed since when I first met dudes behind this project back then in 2019 Barcelona(UPF), Karen Sarkysian specifically. At least it's barely visible on camera without super-high exposure, but still not even close to their edited promotional materials. Was saying back then, it's dumb to use luciferase system of the fungi while there are available a far closer to the plants groups of the organisms, which are also a photosynthetics too.
