    This is nothing short of amazing and is going to revolutionize cultivation. I am blown away by the quality of knowledge and other offerings that Athena and @WeTheGrowers bring to the world of cannabis. True pioneers.

    I am deeply grateful to live in this day and age of cannabis.

    Acinfinity has falsly advertised compatability that in turn caused property damage they used there customers as Guinne pigs and when something goes wrong they turn there backs on there customers don’t advertise a product as compatible with 3rd party product if it’s not compatable



  6. @brownguy9920 on July 25, 2024 at 11:52 am

    Tissue culture for EVERYONE…Who can afford a few grand. Lmao. So what, 5% of home growers if that. I just stopped watching after I saw the price. I was dooped into buying the nearly 2k dollar Cannatrol that just ended up making everyrhing smell and taste like hay…no thanks. That being said congrats and have fun with your kit. Id love to have one but simply not a chance in hell ill get one. Im way WAY to over invested as a regular home grower



  7. @johnsingleton7548 on July 25, 2024 at 11:53 am

    Wouldn’t selfie seeds save the genetics way easier?



  8. @j4frmst8tefarm on July 25, 2024 at 11:57 am

    Very informative cant wait for another harvest vid too



  9. @chriscarter753 on July 25, 2024 at 11:58 am

    Bro, I enjoy watching the channel and you crush it bro. I’m just a novice. But you work with what you got. I have a Vipar Spectra P600 with two 33 watt supplemental grow! LEDs



  10. @Sache0190 on July 25, 2024 at 11:58 am

    We need some James Loud Genetics up on this Channel!



  11. @acidfox9894 on July 25, 2024 at 12:00 pm

    Is there any way you could show us how you shape your plants and get so many top colas



  12. @sandune222 on July 25, 2024 at 12:00 pm

    Yea eventually that electricity cost would get me



  13. @JimmyBoomTron on July 25, 2024 at 12:02 pm

    What about seeds?

    💚💜❤️🔥💯



  15. @wolfrule1741 on July 25, 2024 at 12:05 pm

    Thx for the tip grow bro



  16. @dn-news8565 on July 25, 2024 at 12:06 pm

    What i not get is how to make sure that no Contermenates from the air coming in your workzone ! Than there is no presure cabin around it ???



  17. @christittle1131 on July 25, 2024 at 12:08 pm

    Have you thought about selling some seeds from copycat #22 watermelon 🍉 Emoji? Man wish you would. And hope you do before the states get hit with New Farm Bill. We’re hearing going to put a damper on seed sales. See right now seeds fall under Hemp 0.3 or less is hemp so you can send seeds to anyone right now but if they change that it will be under cannabis and only the states fully legal will be able get seeds shipped to them. Every state can get seeds right now their consider souvenirs cause seeds are 0.3 less thca. This is happening cause of scheduling 3. Everyone here is going regret getting Big Brother in cannabis this way nothing they ever touch works for us the people they ruin everything. We should have left it going like it was and putting pressure on our states. I mean nearly 40 states has done started easing law on cannabis. Getting Big brother in this is going come down to billionaires and corrupt politicians and major corporations from tobacco, alcohol companies that are already buying up tons of stuff and billions in stock ownership. Farm Bill is being mess with to stop delta-8 and thca stuff sold in all the gas stations. So come brother make us some of your No.1 mother and gives us all great chance to grow some real Fire!!!



  18. @aztecjoe29 on July 25, 2024 at 12:08 pm

    Awesome i want one



  19. @growersmindset on July 25, 2024 at 12:10 pm

    dude as a microbiologist scientist, this is fucking awesome to see in cannabis. honestly all life grows on these simple sugars and when I was cloning in little containers, it felt similar to growing fungi in the lab. excellent video and footage.

    that whole little lab setup is SICK! i wonder how well the flow hood actually works. it would be fun to put control agar plates and see how sterile the environment is.

    also kinda funny how i just ran out of space in my mother plant tent. IM EMBARRASSED i haven’t attempted tissue culture with cannabis.



  20. @markalex4902 on July 25, 2024 at 12:11 pm

    Ok, so what is the point of it. Does it preserve a clone in suspended animation for a long period of time so you can eventually replant it and grow it again ?



  21. @willieBB123 on July 25, 2024 at 12:11 pm

    Wow maybe one day i can afford two grand for my genitics



  22. @larrygeran6964 on July 25, 2024 at 12:13 pm

    I just hope it’s for real this time! I hope you like beginner buds and your actually gone!



  23. @shanecross9492 on July 25, 2024 at 12:13 pm

    Holy shit that’s f@$&&!$ awesome I can’t wait to see how this all goes for you dude and the library GROW with all those unicorns you’ll find



  24. @knowyuhgrow420 on July 25, 2024 at 12:16 pm

    Thanks for sharing



  25. @ov3rv1k on July 25, 2024 at 12:19 pm

    This is so cool



  26. @encryptdotwav on July 25, 2024 at 12:20 pm

    tissue culture media is gonna be a hurdle, not just for home growers or breeders. media needs to be done in ratios specific to cultivars, some will take to the culture, some will not.

    sterile clean environment is neccessary. but yall building a flow hood is an easy DIY, and an autoclave and pressure cooker can be substituted for the other.

    wanted to share and give a cost effective approach.



  27. @weedmanculture on July 25, 2024 at 12:23 pm

    WHERE IS I CAN THC



  28. @doolittle6977 on July 25, 2024 at 12:24 pm

    great videos always!



  29. @Alwaysgrowing1234 on July 25, 2024 at 12:26 pm

    Finally back to your real videos your past few have been nothing but ads I felt like. Nothing but ads now just like highagain



  30. @Sss-on2bv on July 25, 2024 at 12:27 pm

    Dude where’s the kersoene krash video??



  31. @billdo-gr8do on July 25, 2024 at 12:29 pm

    This kid cost $2,300. There’s videos on YouTube that show you how to do this procedure for $200.. Plus the price of a homemade flow hood



  32. @lunargardenscollective1529 on July 25, 2024 at 12:31 pm

    Was interested till I found out its damn near 3 grand 😅



  33. @scalessnature987 on July 25, 2024 at 12:31 pm

    You should try the platinum strains. Not the greatest taste nut the effects are beautiful and make it worth it. Heavy resin ring on the joint



  34. @nerotoxen on July 25, 2024 at 12:32 pm

    Lets go part 2!!



  35. @untrainedastronaut on July 25, 2024 at 12:32 pm

    Oh good. I want one.



  36. @CropCultureBox on July 25, 2024 at 12:34 pm

    Thank you for covering this topic, Dakota! I’m definitely going to look into this 🙏💪



  37. @kbud3659 on July 25, 2024 at 12:34 pm

    Just breed or cross them, store the seed for later then usually find something new and improved



  38. @Wheeliebuzzed.1212 on July 25, 2024 at 12:35 pm

    Dude this is so cool!!! I haven’t started to keep clones or mothers for that very reason. I felt like I would keep so many that I would know where to keep all of them. This definitely has me intrigued!!! Can’t wait to see more of this and learn more!! Thanks for putting this together!! It’s crazy how you can put all this together is such a way that is easy to understand!!! Your editing and film making skills are next level!! Cheers brother!!!



  39. @kylehouser9036 on July 25, 2024 at 12:36 pm

    Love the show, but people need to know the difference between TC and actual MERISTEM TC. Big difference in the two.



  40. @LowCountryHigh on July 25, 2024 at 12:36 pm

    I used to practice genetic transformation of fungi that were to be made more virulent to kill insects… Sometimes I would just use my INSTAPOT on say, porridge setting when the autoclave was being used by another lab for small batches of media (much bigger than this volume). Something for others to consider here if they’re taking a stab at tissue culture.

    I think it would be of some significant benefit to watch a few videos of aseptic technique and GLP (Lab practices).



  41. @brandonandalexander on July 25, 2024 at 12:37 pm

    Beautiful video, your the best mate.



  42. @joshuadeloach1676 on July 25, 2024 at 12:39 pm

    Thanks Bro! Thank you for teaching me Tissue Culture. You are a youtube legend.



  43. @leonardosalazar26 on July 25, 2024 at 12:41 pm

    gran video como siempre!



  44. @lauriekirby3756 on July 25, 2024 at 12:41 pm

    Been waiting for this one



  45. @michaelgray2846 on July 25, 2024 at 12:41 pm

    @homegrowtv yo Dakota! What’s up my grow bro! When we gettin another vid!!?? I’m jonesing over here!! I need content!! Lol



  46. @weedlipe on July 25, 2024 at 12:43 pm

    amazing video!!! i looove to see all this information and knowledge



  47. @funkelastiks on July 25, 2024 at 12:44 pm

    great job



  48. @LowCountryHigh on July 25, 2024 at 12:44 pm

    This is really awesome.

    I used to transform entomopathogenic fungi to kill insect pests using genes from say the venom gene from a spider.

    Anyhow, when another lab was bogarting the autoclave I would bring in my instapot to prep small batch media for culture… And you can too.

    Also, I really love your channel. It has helped me tremendously on my journey which I’ve just begun June 1st. Thank you for everything.

    If you guys are getting into this, I think it would be of some benefit to check out some videos on aseptic technique and glp practices.

    Cheers!



  49. @Double_J_Nugz on July 25, 2024 at 12:44 pm

    Wow, what a awesome video.!
