aloha people. Here's my deal I am starting an orchard and would like to grow bananas. I would need a couple thousand plants so in order to have the best starts I was considering tissue culture. I just got off the phone with the expert from UH and she says i'm going to need about 3 months of lab training to be successful. That wouldn't be to bad if we had a lab on Kauai where I live. So what do you think? Can I do this on my own, with the help of the internet, or is she right?

Also, what are the essentials of a lab, or if there is a good thread can someone point me to it? I searched a bit, but couldn't find anything that talks about building a lab. Mahalo for reading.
