Re: VFT seed raised vs tissue culture
 

Hi

I´m using for tc and those small seedlings the same light. I grow them under 39W T5 light bulbs

Re: VFT seed raised vs tissue culture
 

The main advantage of TC is lots of plants in a short period of time. Ideal for cultivars.
Advantages for seed grown plants is better adaption to the local conditions, the change of something new and unusual and it is cheaper than tissue culture.

Re: VFT seed raised vs tissue culture
 

Thank for the info about lighting conditions, hoping to find time eventually to try some TC of my own.

I have not yet had any experience acclimitizing TC plants to local environment and light, so not sure how difficult it is, but I imagine that the best way is to wait until the plant is big enough, big plant hopefully will mean better against stress.

Hi

It is not very hard to acclimtice plants from TC.
I bake the soil mix before i put the plants out of TC.
Then i put the plants out, rinse them under water and wash all the agar of.
After planting them in the baked soil i use those small plastic greenhouses to hold the RH up for 1-2 weeks.
After this time i open the cover every week more.
