Would love to know are see if the benefits out way traditional cloning arr if with tissue culture if it can reset or revive a mother plant back to its original.

Tissue culture (TC) is all the rage now, and everyone is talking about it!
TC can effectively remove diseases from infected plants by using techniques such as meristem culture and microshoot tip therapy, which help regenerate disease-free plants.
While it is a leap forward in the ability to produce high quality genetics, it has been mostly relegated to large corporations and specialty laboratories.
Will TC ever be achievable by the home grower and at what cost?

I’m clueless on this topic. I’m always into learning something new about this miracle plant. How does it differ from traditional cloning, and what are the benefits of using it over regular cloning?

I’ve wanted to know how to grow, and know I’ve been learning. But what’s the best yielding plant for short term grows?

Does the sample have to contain nodes or can it be any amount of tissue?

My biggest question is how would one store said material for future use?
Do I simply take a cutting and put it in a bag?
I have never “bought” a clone, can I plug it straight into the hydro system?

One thing I’ve always to know how to do tissue culture at home. Although it is quite similar to mushroom culture but just cannabis specific. Its cool what they can do with tissue culture for Pheno hunting

Can genetic drift happen via TC?

That’s a tricky question.
It’s not quite that simple.
The particular strain itself will be the best indicator on production. Some strains just yield more than others.
I believe it is highly accepted that autos will be the quickest plants to grow. But photos can produce more.
So if you’re looking for fast turn around, a topped, good strain auto should yield about 6 oz. Invest an extra 45 days and double that with a photo. Hope that helps

Can an amateur home grower do tissue cultivation at home?

I currently clone from mother plants. I also live in a State that has a very low restriction on plant count. I love the ability to shelf genetics both for long term and short term use. I also like not having to maintain them and they subtract from my plant count. Both my wife and I are very specific strain users and would both benefit from using a tissue sample to start each new growth.
We have cloned Appalachian hemlock reshi and other species, so we understand the concept of tissue cloning. My question is how soon will I be able to affordably to clone my own from tissue samples? Or am I missing something?

I think this is a great way to hold or revive old dead strains. Question can the material be dry and still cultured?

Tissue culture is the rage in the community— when they say “clean” what does that specifically mean? I grow mostly of seed…. I am aware of hops and such, but for a hobby grower, what’s the benefits? Seems cool, but complicated and how long does it take to get a viable plant from a small little cut?

I have always wanted to refresh old genetics like old sour diesel clones. So my question is how can tissue culture be used to clean up and refresh old clones?

When doing cultures how long does it take to get a actual plant from it? Is a tiny piece used and the genetics split from it then grown in a dish? I always wondered how a mature plant comes from tissue. I get cloning with a cutting that is easy. This still fascinates me.

If tissue culture is as effective as projected, do you think laws will be created “in the future” making it the standard, or should traditional cloning remain safe?

Interesting 
, devil’s advocate 
do you think there could be laws outlawing possession of genetic material.,?
