Clearheaded this is a great point and post many in the industry are turning to tissue culture to clean up genetics from disease. Help germinate old seed ect. What many dont understand is once a plant has been exposed to a pesticide or containment it stays and it is past on to clone to clone.I am not sure about seed that comes from the plant but suspect it would.

if its the guy from cali who worked with monster gardens wish i remembered his name but its good as he mixes salts for cannabis specifically. fun to play around with but not super practical by the time you make enough as always loose some and replating loose more loose some while hardening off really isnt saving a guy much space nore time. bonzai a clone in same or less space with same lighting needs.
cleaning up old clones its great but I do not see how it can even be practicle for large operations as time to harden off your not saving space or time from using moms and rooting larger cuttings. great for hard to grow plants from seeds like orchids or canola plant testing of same genetics as cant root cuttings quick and easily from parental stock. just dont see it being of super advantage for growing cycles in commercial ops.

Ya, that's just plain old bullshit. Cite a source other than the guy you met at a bar once or some tube video in Latvian...

Hi prune firstly i dont claim to be an expert on the topic in fact i have never used it but have been researching it a little as i thought it to be a valuable tool for germinating very old seed.
Before i saw this post i watched a video from Kevin Jodrey who as you know is part of the commercial industry in the US talking about how commercial growers that used Tissue culture to start clones /moms and then took clones from them tested positive to PGR after harvest.
I read that Kev was the one using TC to clean up old genetics.
