microCLONE Tissueponics Media Refill, 1 Liter
Growers who run Tissueponics as a steady part of propagation go through medium quickly. This 1 liter refill keeps a full rotation of culture tubes supplied from one bottle. The liquid comes prepared and sterile, ready to pour without mixing powders or melting agar. Its formula combines sugar, mineral nutrients and plant growth hormones in one solution. A cutting sitting in the tube absorbs those ingredients directly through its tissue. Sugar stands in for strong light as the main energy source, which keeps the cultures compact on a modest shelf light. The hormones push the cutting to branch, so each tube produces several new nodes. Those nodes supply the next generation of cuttings, multiplying a clean line from a handful of tips. microCLONE includes preservatives to lower the odds of mold in the tubes. Working from a larger bottle means fewer bottle changes during a long session at the bench. It also lets a grower restart several trays of tubes in one sitting.
Handling Liquid Tissue Culture Medium in Larger Batches
Plan each session so the bottle is opened as few times as possible. Prepare the clean area first, with a HEPA filter running and surfaces wiped with alcohol. Sanitize the glass tubes beforehand, because Tissueponics tubes ship non-sterile. Dichlor sanitizer from the kit handles that job. Pour a small, consistent depth of medium into every tube before cutting any plant material. Take tip cuttings from vigorous mother plants and place one into each tube. Seal the tubes and set them under a gentle grow light on a shelf. The Tissueponics cycle runs about three weeks before cuttings move on to rooting plugs. Inspect the trays every few days and remove any tube that clouds over or grows fuzz. Recap the bottle right after pouring and keep it closed between sessions. Labeling the bottle with the date it was first opened helps track how long it has been in use. Wiping the bottle neck before capping reduces the chance of carrying contamination into the next pour.
