I agree.. the more people are involved with commenting on the proposed rules the more likely the new law will be more beneficial to everyone. If no one gets involved the people that know nothing about marijuana will make it the way they want it to be made...
I have 13 years of experience in plant tissue culture; I would certainly be interested in discussing options with any grower that feels they will need to ramp up production as quickly as possible: [email protected]
Plant tissue culture? explain a little...
I know what he meant... But I wanted him to explain how he could help.... I have google and could have looked up the definition if I didn't know what it means... But thanks... I want to know what he knows....
The ability to take a single cutting and, over the course of several weeks or months, generate tens to tens of thousands of plants, depending upon many factors. Rather than adding plants in a serial fashion (cutting -> rooted cutting -> plant), tissue culture can take a cutting and produce callus that in turn can be proliferated into many plants. This allows one to generate large numbers of plants with relative ease, and in a small area.
Wow... I have been thinking alot about getting into this field... I was thinking everyone and their brother wants to grow marijuana simple for the buds... So in my opinion there will be alot of dispensaries that are overwhelmed with growers.. But as far as having a good supply of clones, I really don't know... I imagine that there are not a lot of people that are producing clones in a large scale.. Correct me if I am wrong..
I agree- that's the correct assessment. Conventional practices (seeds and cuttings) have been used for many years, with great success. It would take a particularly large operation to demand a tissue culture facility, but TC is used even for ornamental crops, such as those found at the hardware store (Venus' flytraps), orchids at Trader Joe's, and the majority of poinsettias are tissue cultured. Of course, even a large poinsettia at the store costs less than a single, small rooted cutting of, say, AK-47 (as gauged by Craigslist ads in California, where there is a substantial trade in propagules).
I imagine the demand will come soon my friend...I agree- that's the correct assessment. Conventional practices (seeds and cuttings) have been used for many years, with great success.

So, if ornamentals can be produced for sale for under $1 on the wholesale market, one imagines what can be done with cannabis. However, due to scaling issues, it would be unlikely that cannabis would ever drop to such a low price.
However, I would like to avail my services in the event that a large-scale producer were to require such, or that a particularly determined grower would call for an effort to have polyploids produced, that sort of thing. Just another day at the office.
Hey MX, I'm interested. How do we get together? Bob
what up beav! my new crop is at 68 days! it's all i can do to not cut it down. i have no patience!
