Aloha, this was a great read. Starting with something simple like pineapple is a great way to learn and encourage others to start their own TC practice.
My wife has experience in Mycology, but we have never had the chance to try other flora. I would like to set up a station but we are not yet at that point.
Seeds. We bought a white pineapple at our market. One segment contained several seeds. These next few days I was going to make time to plant them. Curious question. I understand it may take 5 to 8 years to fruit. Also, assuming the other around it are seedless... Could they be from stress? Or maybe an old variety? Or just a case of the plant trying to live on?
Anyway... everyone should TC. It would make the world a better place. My goal is to some day TC my Fe'i... so I can see those little plants grow.
Mahalo
