Apparently this company is selling tissue cultures for $150 each.
They have made claims that these tissue cultures are better than cuttings in a bunch of silly ways.
My team has been looking at doing this for $20-30.

Here is the article from @StratCann. (To be clear, the issue is with the quotes provided, not the reporting.)
There is some truth in what is said, but it doesn& #39;t justify the price, IMO.
There are also some spurious claims. https://stratcann.com/bc-nursery-to-soon-offer-drop-shipping-of-tissue-culture-clones-to-two-regina-retailers/">https://stratcann.com/bc-nurser...

First, tissue culture is a clone. There are two types. One is made from a cutting and one is made a small piece of leaf material coaxed into growing into a plant using hormones.
Both generally come from a growing (mother) plant.

So when I read:
"He explains...starting material that is much more stable than a traditional cutting from a mother plant"
"because they are from tissue culture, they are much less prone to so-called genetic drift."
I laugh. The opposite may be true: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12010-011-9352-6">https://link.springer.com/article/1...

Tissue culture is a great way to assure pest-free plantlets. Virus testing is easily done with @ALCannabisLabs.
It is not magic. @ExudetteRootly has made cannabis tissue culture in our kitchen.
This is a good idea, but the misleading hype is absurd, and the price is crazy.

The biggest issues we have had in developing our plan are:
Proper directions for planting. The substrate needs to be washed off, etc.
Pricing competitive with cuttings, = a cap of $30 IMO.
How to calculate volume. Can we sell 4 to the public? Can we sell 200 to an ACMPR PPL?
