so what exactly are you trying to modify if you don't mind me askin?

i've always thought it would be cool to get a cell culture going and then differentiate the cells into a specific type via the ratio of hormones. I'd then flower, perhaps by taking a sample of a flowering leaf off of an actual plant and dropping it into the culture, which would transfer the unknown "florigen" compound and jumpstart flowering. Once flowering, well it'd be pretty sweet to only get a certain part of plant cell develope, and you wouldn't waste energy/time on growing things like vascular cells and roots that don't have much use. *now this is all assuming it is practical in a real world setting. perhaps legally?

[on florigen transfer]<it is something that might be applied onto another live plant. I've never tried it before but i bet you could make a leave mass and rub it on an incision on a plant just starting to flower and have a relatively low-stress flower booster, or maybe you could grow it under longer lighting than 12h and increase photosynthesis as long as you still apply the flowering concoction and the right plant hormones and nutrients in some way. >

anyone one have experience grafting a flwoering leaf onto a veging one? I remember reading a study where they did that with a nicotene plant and it worked but i can't find a link right now

^hell ya i'm so glad i don't have to move!
