Default Re: VFT TC Pictures

Hey I actually agree, I wonder why not many TC labs use UV light to sterlize the case before working, that should technically work well!
Hi
First it is expensive. And Alcohol work faster. If you want to sterilize with UV lights it needs severall hours to be clean. Alcohol works directly.

I do like Jen's system, very simple yet he is producing nice TC plants.
Why simple? It is a flowhood like the big labs also use, just cheaper because i build it self.
I tryd many different ways to do TC but this is really the best.
I tried over a cooking pot, gloveboxes....

Gloveboxes are good if you want to start with TC and it is also cheap to build.

By the way when you posted VFT red from leaf tissue, does that mean the leaf or the white part of the leaf?
I used the white part of the leaf.
Here you can see a picture of the same plant, just 1 month ago


@edwardyeeks
you really think they are faster?
I think not because VFT seeds germinate 2-3 later as usual. Also Nepenthes and Drosera
Tc needs some time but then after a while the seeds/plants whatever kick off
