We should call this "Natural Tissue Culture" cause everything is pretty much natural.

Anyways, if you add honey, would you have to use less sugar?

Hmmm, that's interesting... Maybe it was too sweet? Or the honey oxidized too fast producing alcohol? I've heard that alcohol kills vfts when sterilizing them for in-vitro, shouldn't be any different for pullings in peat. Maybe when the honey dried it choked the pulling?

This is interesting!

Me too! I'd like to know the amount of everything used; sugar, vinegar, & water. Is that the only 3 ingredients?

Some vinegar?! So I just throw some random amount of vinegar in and it works like a charm every time? I have a hard time believing that...
