I wanted to do 40 b.f. jars or a full Liter, but I wanted half of the media to have .5ml/l Kinetin and the other half 1.5ml/l Kinetin with green food coloring.
By now I have a hodge podge of some that I want to divide and some that I want to grow out.
I did the full batch with .5 Kinetin, dispensed half, then added 1ml to the other half. . . . so I guess I have 2.5ml/l strength Kinetin.
I'm gonna use it and see what happens, I guess.
I know that mileage varies, but typically, how many replatings occur before planting out from a small wad of dense plants? I'm guessing it will take about 4 or 4 months? Would that be equivelant to a 3 year old VFT?
One thing I've realized by now, is that a clump of plants will sort themselves out; one or two in the mass will grow much larger than the rest. I guess I grow those out and keep the smaller masses multiplying. It seems if I take a larger plant and try to multiply it out, I don't get as aggressive of multiplication as I do simply dividing (seems like I have to do it with a knife) a large clump of many small plants. That small wad multiplies many more plants quicker.
btw, some of You know what I'm talking about when I say that at some point You start to learn more by doing, than by asking. A lot of questions at first, guilt from asking so many questions, second guessing, frustration, and oh,the learning curve; but as knowledge and confidence is gained, the more self experimenting and fun! I know it's funny, but I will never know everything about TC, but I find that fact the most exciting aspect of this hobby.
There is so much 'Terra Incognita' in this field.
