      Vinegar is a very poor choice it has chemical similarity to the auxins. Normally phosphoric, sulfuric, or nitric acid would be good choices in hydroponics as they are all plant nutrients, citric acid may also be good and does not effect the nutrient balance(food grade is often found with canning supplies at low cost). Phos is the most common hydroponic pH down.
      Non-adultrerated ammonia is a fair choice for pH up (it will convert to more stable ammonium as it grabs protons) but KOH or potassium carbonate are also good (not bicarb. aka hydrogen carbonate). Most other bases are either poorly soluble or will interfere with the biochemistry; sodium is generally tolerable in very small amounts though a few species are quite sodium tolerant.
      Nitric acid is a tricky one for normal hydroponics with large active plant growth, plants love to absorb both -NO3 anions and +NH4 cations in much larger quantities than other nutriants. The plants exchange -OH ions for nutrient anios which raises the pH and with nitric you can end up chasing the pH if not aware of the bigger picture. Likewise ammonium cations +NH4 get exchanged for +protons and this lowers the pH. So the two must be balanced, and that balance varies with plant specie. The situation is slightly different with tissue culture because of limited nutrient uptake, and the media is a gel so the bulk solution cannot readilly buffer local changes in pH.

      @@TheDuckofDoom. wow, lots of info! But the whole reason I mentioned vinegar was the very affordable cost lmao because that was the point of the video? Yes, if you have a bigger budget and access, of course get the best of the best. All I know is vinegar is like 3 bucks for a gallon 😂 and my cultures have turned out great if I even had to use vinegar. As you know, before adjusting PH, it tends to be in the low 4 range. Vinegar isn’t needed unless someone went too far over, which is less likely. Btw, back on topic of budget, how much do the options you mentioned cost?

Good stuff, I used to do a lot of micro for work and one particular company refused to buy a laminar flow because they6 said it was too expensive, so I was forced to do all the culturing in a small closed room just using basic aseptic techniques. Despite losing many cultures (fungi) to other non specific ones, the usual culprits, we did indeed succeed with "jam jars" and no "proper equipment" LOL.

    tip on light meter; most phones have one for auto brightness. If you have a grow light with PPFD maps you can calibrate them and they are ususlly a good reference.
    As far as ph goes, the strips/ph indicators tend to be more accurate than the cheap meters.
    There are possibly reasons not to do this in these circumstances but a flame can be useful in sterilizing tools too, just becareful near alcohol obviously.
    Speaking of, a spray bottle of isopropyl is good for sterilizing equipment.

    Awesome video! You are really getting better at editing and creating with every video!
    Since I've done tissue culture many moons ago in a lab, things appear to have gotten a bit easier (we actually had to make our own MS Medium from scratch with the individual chemicals!).
    Now I'm working to get back into it in my home 'lab'. I have quite a few of the supplies, but I'm still not satisfied with any of the culture containers I can find. I do however... *really* like (dare I say ❤) those jars with the PP lids you are using. Can you please share where to get those?

      Hi Laur,
      Thanks a lot for sharing.
      I tried several times but each time the cuttings got contaminated.
      You don't get problem when you leave your tools in bleach?
      After my TC, I wash all tools with water and wipe them but all my tools get corroded each time I use and sterilize in bleach.

      @@danieljheelan5256 You may want to try sterilizing everything (both the tools and your tissue culture media) in a pressure cooker or insapot before doing the transfers if you're having issues with contamination. I usually pressure cook everything at 15 PSI for 15-20 minutes. I have a few videos about this subject on my channel :)

    Fun fact that symbol on your plastic is not a recycle symbol. It's a plastic classification symbol. This was a ploy by big plastic they made a symbol similar to the recycling symbol to trick ignorant customers into thinking that all plastic is recyclable. While more than just numbers 1 and 2 are recyclable, 1 and 2 are almost always the only ones recycled because the cost of recycling the other numbers is way more expensive.

    "moo-rah-shee-geh" EDIT: The still air box is a really good idea and inexpensive to construct. Although, if you have good technique it isn't strictly necessary. I took a cell culturing class where we sterilized and implanted tobacco leaf, African violet leaf, carrot segments, and corn embryos on non-antibiotic containing MS media just on the bench. The rate of contamination was higher than under a flow hood, of course.

    Awesome video, very informative for anyone who wants to try it! The only thing I would recommend is putting any lids face down, they’re less likely to get contaminated that way as the rim is usually exposed to the environment and any contaminating microorganisms on the counter wouldn’t make it to the top of the lid before you re-seal. Just make sure your work surface is clean (which you did). Bleach has “staying power” from the residue it leaves behind so it will continue killing microorganisms on the surface for a bit after cleaning.

    This was such a fascinating subject to me when I took greenhouse horticulture in the mid 80's. The text book at the time was Plant Propagation principles and practices, chapter 17. In there it gives one the compounds and measurements for some stock solutions like the Murashigo & Skoog, the Gamorg, the Anderson and a woody plant medium. Of course each stock solution concentrate will make 100L of final solution.
    Another fascinating read which I've read more than once even though I never did continue into the industry was by Lydiane Kyte, Timber Press called Plants from Test Tubes, An introduction to Micropropagation. I see it is still offered but now is in its 4th edition (2013). I'm sure a lot of progress has occurred in the 40 years since first publication. The index offers the make up of many early stock solutions including M&S.
