No change but still green, more than I can say for the other sample!

I didn't have high hopes for this working but so far still green. Better than what I can say for my control which just had the MEA dextrose, indole acetic/ naphthalene acetic and GA3 . No iodine and no seaweed nutrient. But neither were dipped in bleach for contaminants or treated with ethanol. So I think it's just a matter of time until they die.

From the album:

Experimental culturing. Fail.

I always wondered what the point of this sort of thing was. Call me old-fashioned, but seeds and dirt always worked just fine for me

Just that when you get good at it I guess, you can turn a small part of a plant into many and is nice to just try what can be done. My hope was to just see if I could do it. Hope to one day be good enough at it to grow more hard to get plants that I can't get often. The main purpose is dependent on what you aim to achieve, some silvercuturalists use it to get many trees of the exact genetic quality. It's the same for collectors of exotic or rare plants. Breeding good genetics then cloning from cell culture. I don't know what the percentage of plant they use but I had thought in perfect conditions a seed could be divided many times to become a forest or a plantation. Mainly it's interesting and I like to learn.

Was a shot in the dark really I was only going on what I thought to be right as far as what my idea of how it's done. Well since this, I decided to get a little more interested and actually research it :) lol. Still haven't found the absolute right way to do it because there is a broad range of variables with each different plant. Sort of goes without saying but as far as culturing went I assumed it would be fairly relative to plants. So I spotted a contaminant in the jar so out it went. The next time I'm actually going to ask an expert for advice. Unfortunately I think it's going to mean more money :( suck. Thanks for your interest though.
