Fun fact: all of this gear is also appropriate for mycologists

[@petevenuti7355]

But with plant growth regulators. For mammalian , more hard, more growth factors & incubator (meatcubator if your the thought emporium) And you don't need sawdust (unless you want) But yeah, it's all very similar(sterile technique) ...till you get to 3d scaffolding and continuous process fermentation with industrial optimization and more big words.... Then some other smarter individuals have to describe that.🤪

Ha, ha I totally use my insta pot all the time. It works great. I just set the time on the sterilize settings to 1/2 hour. I do media, foil packs, you name it. I did start off with some blank PDA to test how well it worked.

[@BrandonWilliams-ng7st]

Love yu videos!! I hav purchased about 75% of the stuff to get started. I have soooo any questions for you! Thanks for all you do!

[@hotdubtime]

I look through your videos and your content really inspires me and everything looks pretty straightforward, but some of my friends keep telling the way you introduce the whole process of TC is "just for fun" and they mainly point out that having a "DIY" laminar cabinet will drastically lower the overall results in TC. I as a person who's just interested in this sphere, will definitelly have extremely miserable results. Could you please tell if having a "professional" laminar cabinet/autoclave increase the chances? If so how much? Will it require the person to go deeper and deeper into this area to get some visible results? Cause it feels like without having more profound knowledge about this issue, it will waste time and money. I understand that you have really big experience of many years studying and researching and doing TC, but hand on heart will the person "who just started" have sooner results or not, especially having a DIY tools? Thanks)

[@plantsinjars]

Hi! I actually just started doing tissue culture in 2022. I have researched the process a lot, but I don't have any formal training or education. Anyone can do tissue culture. Having a laminar flow hood decreases the likelihood of contamination but I have seen many people successfully do tissue culture using a still air box instead of a flow hood.

[@hotdubtime]

@@plantsinjars thanks!

[@samchoo9359]

Great intro to getting started, 👏👏👏

[@anthusiast2565]

7:20 100% alc evaporate not just faster, its also dries what you want do kill like mushroom spores needs to get hydrated, befor killing in Mushroomcultivation you let the substrate sit for some houres to incubate what is in there and after this it goes in to the pressure canner, to make sure everythig dies

[@antoniosanford4675]

Great video. I'm making notes so I've watched it a few times. I wish you'd do a livestream. I've got questions I'd like to ask you.

[@sophrapsune]

I’m loving your channel, thanks. It would be good to hear what your lab’s “business model” is. How do you go about choosing plants to propagate and selling them commercially? I assume that this isn’t just a serious hobby!

[@plantsinjars]

My next video is an interview but the video after that (late Feb) is actually really similar to the one you just described!

[@andrewhernandez4968]

Keep your blue lab in water or storage solution at all times. Submerged just past probe

[@Primitivemycology]

With an instapot u adjust the time based on the lower pressure. When i started in mycology i would adjust at 1:1.7 now im almost 6 years beyond all that and using the proper equipment. Lol

[@CriticoolHit]

For what it's worth I use an instant pot for sterilization of tools, making my own agar dishes, bulk media sterilization, etc. You just have to to run it a bit longer so the material has time to fully sterilize. It has never been a problem. (Literally ever) (I do mycology and now do some tissue culture with all the same equip)

[@seionthreat2644]

I’m a home mycologist, started in a carpet room with no SAB or flow hood and yes, I’ve set gloves on fire while culturing more than once, I just don’t use gloves no more, and I don’t have carpet now 🎉

Enjoying the videos! Curious if you (or anyone else reading this), knows where to get the supplies related to plant cell tech, in Europe? As paying over 100 dollars for shipping is not ideal. Thanks!

[@carmenv.6021]

I couldn't find in your videos what kind of paper you use to make the micropropagation in the sterile cabinet. do you use normal kitchen paper or another kind? do you sterilize the paper in the autoclave? how is it done? thank you very much for your videos and your work!

[@goldworld2024]

Can you recommend particular devices required to start Home Tissue Culturing Indoor & Outdoor Exotic plants.

[@BJahoda]

Could you use a UV sterilizer? One designed for phones and toothbrushes and stuff?

[@VICARI0S]

Really funny. Wasn't expecting that lol

[@ourfamilyoutdoors7331]

PSA: if you do start an alcohol fire the most important thing to do is remain calm and do not grab or move the burning alcohol. Have something nearby to smother the fire.

[@kaitlindollison8523]

Can you do a video that is the whole process from start to finish (initiation to acclimating)? I know it would take months to be ready, but it would be interesting to see the progress with date stamps, etc.

[@plantsinjars]

I have a similar vid coming out next week :)

If I had the space for this, I would blow hundreds in a heartbeat and then spend it again on weird plants. If you take requests / suggestions, Begonia lyallii is a rarely available (but not super rare) terrarium begonia from Madagascar that I'd totally buy so I can stick in my pygmy chameleon tank.

[@nativefish]

Can I use petri dishes for culture vs. the plastic containers you use I have boxes of glass petri dishes? I'm wondering if there is enough room in the dishes.

[@RealKing213]

[@RookieBuds]

Can plants be GRAFTED at the tissue culture level?? Like, can u have pink and white variegated monstera in the same dish? What about unrelated plant species?

[@BegoniaWeirdo]

I just started attempting tissue culture with Begonias. Would love an update on how you do yours.

[@plantsinjars]

My next vlog will have some begonia updates! I follow the protocol from Plants in Test Tubes for begonias (clean leaf sections in 10% bleach for 10 minutes and use 0.5mg/L BAP + 0.1mg/L NAA for the PGR's)

[@dizzy2k224]

Can you make a plant from a piece of grapes from the store? Or only from the leaves?

[@plantsinjars]

If you found a protocol for grapes, it would definitely specify! I only work with houseplants

[@Darth_SurgeYo]

Love the sense of mild shame/self recrimination you have over owning not two, but four pressure cookers 🤣

[@pushthemule]

In the cultivation of mushrooms, the community successfully sterilizes @ 12psi for 45 minutes for agar. I'm guessing it would also work here.

[@zrksexotics1868]

Venusflytrap please. Tenks

[@GregDuhon]

Do you have any recommendations on a specific desk to buy? The only one I have right now is from Ikea and it has grooves on it which makes it impossible to sterilize.

[@plantsinjars]

I used to have a stainless steel table designed to be used in a kitchen. It ended up rusting, so I'm not sure if I would recommend it. Now I use a lab bench with a heat resistant phenolic resin top. They are super expensive (definitely do not buy one new!) but I see them come up for sale from schools / research institutions sometimes for cheap.

[@Embassy_of_Jupiter]

you know what would be cool? a tissue culture terrarium. specifically designed to use tissue culture techniques for aesthetic purposes, not propagation. with no soil or anything boring like that. like a nutrient solution aquarium with tons of terrestrial plants in it or like a tube filled with plant balls. I think these sterile plants floating in tubes with nutrient solution just look cool af. or like little self contained plant jars with LEDs that you can put in dark rooms for decoration. and making it look like interior design of the future 😂 perhaps you could even sell them🤑

[@user-iq6ic8dn4e]

[@ernestcsinyinza]

[@Scooby-Snacks]

What is the largest size glass container Theoretically a tissue culture plant can be kept in? Is there limitations to size? Do you think a one gallon jar would be considered unreasonable? I want the plant to be able to get 8"-10" tall, That way I don't have to mess with them as much...

[@plantsinjars]

You could try a container that large but I think it would be much easier for it to get contaminated. I haven't seen a plant grow that large in TC before but could be a fun experiment :)

Thanks for sharing- I have to ask you, what do you do if you don’t have a gas stove? Pressure cookers don’t work on electric and it’s all I have- so I guess I’m going to have to spend over $200? 😊 please advise(I got the book and the rest, just no was to sterilize anything

[@davidmaisel8062]

Between us, I have a cheap electric pressure cooker (no instapot) on the high setting it gets over 15 psi. A large conventional pressure cooker has the benefit of being large.

[@anicamiller5718]

If you are taking a tissue culture from a plant and your placing it in a soy protein that was genetically modified, does that make the plant genetically modified as well when the new plants are planted. I know that's a stupid question but I don't believe in stupid questions so there you go..
