I just might try my hand at TCing. Advice?
Hey everyone. I've been interested in TCing for a while now, and now I just might have the opportunity to try it. I'm looking at purchasing a basic kit from Kitchen Culture Kits, and then propagating a few hundred banana plants, mostly for either donation to low income families through the local food bank or for selling at the campus garden's weekly garden sale. In particular, I'm looking to TC Misi Luki Namwah, Manzano, Orinoco, Blue Java (the real deal), and possibly Pisang Klotek. I have a few questions:
Any advice is greatly appreciated. I will probably have more questions later so stay tuned! :2738: |

You will need a sterile transfer hood. I once used a plastic box with holes cut in the lid so I could put my arms in. It will need to be sterilised with bleach and ethanol before and after each use.
The hormones supplied with your kit would be fine. Greenhouse is too hot/cold they need to be kept at an even temperature around 22 degrees under lights. You really need to read all the posts on TC in the forum, and I mean all of them, there is no short cut. They are all very good. I tried it but was never any good at it. It's very difficult and time consuming to do it properly. |

I'll try and find a way to keep them warm during the night then. The temperature of the greenhouse can be somewhat adjusted by opening and closing the ventilation. Looks like I'll also need grow lights. Thanks for the advice!

Since I'm new here, perhaps someone could point me to a thread that discusses how to do TCing; exactly what it is, how it all works, etc? Many thanks, in advance.

I am thinking the best way would be to buy a kit to learn with, I am fixing to purchase one, I dont know if the one in the link below is good or not but there are a few online to purchase. It would be easier than trying to guess what you need. After you learn how to to it, then you would know what to use later on your own.
