The workshop yesterday was a huge success - a lot of fun, good information and we got to do hands on tissue culture. I saw a lot of people walking away with intention on carrying this on.
Anyway - Ben 'green beans' Belton had a great idea - let's set a section up on the GWAPA forum to discuss TC, share successes and failures and possibly a launching pad for supply related group orders etc.
Thank you Kris for adding this to the site so quickly!

Thanks, Ghazanfar and Kris for setting up this forum, I know Amy and I are both looking forward to giving this a shot. Count us in when coordinating group buys - we need pretty much everything from media and hormones to culture vessels.
Now we need to get some emersed-grown plants going, so we'll have some reasonably clean plants to start cultures with. So perhaps after next month's meeting, we'll have to start up a "Growing plants emersed" forum!

I think a lot of us pulled a lot of information from the class, I know between that and all the plant info on sunday my brain hurts a little 
as Jim has said... "we'll make a botanist of you yet!" I think this weekend was a giant leap in that direction 
I wonder if it would be worth putting some intro to TC info up in a sticky for those not lucky enough to have gone? I ended up writing out a lot of the info I picked up just to organize my thoughts and figured it might be a good article at some point... connecting a lot of the info you can find from online. I couldn't sleep with all the facts floating around my head until I spit them out on paper
Monocots and Dicots... where do ferns come in? (As in other than spores, how can you TC them) Is there a specific name for the type of growth you see with leaves/misc plant parts like with African Violets, rhizomatus and rex begonias, etc?
As for Ben's comment... at least one "recomended" source for hormones and what not seems to have a set rate for shipping around $12... a lot if you are just ordering a couple hormones and agar for yourself, but might be worth having others drop in their wants into the order... but otherwise I can see how our quatity orders don't fit the company's idea of wholesale!
