I´m about to place an order but I still have a few doubts:

Is BA the same as BAP?
I can´t understand why Caisson states the following:

6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BA, BA, BAP)

I´ll be using baby food jars ( the slightly taller ones ) with metal caps.
Would I have to drill a hole for gas exchange?

I´ll be using the following products in POWDERED form:

Kinetin, IAA, IBA and NAA. Some paper states that I can dissolve these in
Isopropyl alcohol.
BAP can be dissolved in NaOH. I can get lye whose composition is as follows:
NaOH 95%, NaCO3 1% and inert ingredients 4%.
Is this OK: is there anything else I can use?

I am particularly interested in plantains and poinsettia. Of course I´ll try avocado, mango and cashew.
Some protocols call for media with inositol and thiamine ( Keith Benson )
Do you recommend MS Basal Salts ( M524 ) or should I order MS with MS vitamins? Thanks, everybody.
