I want to get a tissue culture discussion going here!
It's my newest little geek obsession...

Here's what I've got so far:

Good points:
You can get thousands of exact genetic replicas from one donor plant with minimum stress to the donor.
You don't need to use a slip with multiple nodes!
You could overnight someone an envelope with a few leaves and it's like getting a clone, you just have to do the rest of the work. So spreading your favorite genetics to your buds (hee hee) would be VERY easy.

Bad points:
Takes 8 weeks
Requires you to be a wicked nerd with a degree in geekiness and thick glasses and no social life (Um, I made that one up)
Requires sterile conditions
Requires media and chemicals that aren't all that easy to find

My questions:
Have any of you happy gardeners done tissue culture on any plant at all?
If so, have you done it on cannabis?
If so, is there a specific supplement that you add to your agar?

Please peeps don't tell me this is a bogus subject since taking cuttings is so easy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, whatever. I'm not arguing that. I mean, f'real, if you want low tech, plant a seed outdoors. Wait for it to rain! This whole hobby is high tech and I think tissue culture is, frankly, COOL.
