This ready-to-use content is designed for your educational course on cannabis tissue culture (micropropagation). It includes a suggested course outline with 8 modules, key learning objectives, detailed explanations, practical tips, and visuals for engagement. Feel free to adapt it for videos, slides, quizzes, or hands-on labs. The material is based on established protocols (e.g., MS or DKW media, meristem culture) and industry best practices as of 2026. Course Overview Title: Mastering Cannabis Tissue Culture: From Lab Basics to Commercial Scalability Target Audience: Beginners to intermediate growers, cultivators, breeders, and industry professionals. Duration: 8-12 weeks (self-paced or instructor-led). Objectives: Understand the science, benefits, and hands-on techniques of tissue culture to produce disease-free, genetically consistent cannabis plants. Prerequisites: Basic plant biology knowledge; access to a simple lab setup recommended for practical modules. Module 1: Introduction to Tissue Culture in Cannabis • Key Topics: • What is tissue culture? (In vitro propagation using small explants in sterile media). • History: From traditional cloning/seeds to modern micropropagation. • Why cannabis? Addresses issues like Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd), genetic drift, and scalability. • Benefits: • Disease-free plants (eliminates viroids, viruses, pests). • Genetic consistency (true-to-type clones with identical THC/CBD/terpene profiles). • Space efficiency (thousands of plants from one explant in minimal space). • Year-round production and strain preservation. Module 2: Lab Setup and Sterile Techniques • Essential Equipment: • Laminar flow hood (for sterile work). • Autoclave/pressure cooker (sterilization). • Vessels (jars, tubes), scalpel, forceps, pH meter, growth shelves. • Home setup cost: Under $500; commercial: $10k+. • Sterility Best Practices: • Work in a clean room; use 70% ethanol, bleach. • PPE: Gloves, mask, lab coat. • Common contamination sources: Bacteria, fungi, endophytes.

Bleach (sodium hypochlorite) is generally more effective and widely recommended than pesticides (including fungicides or bactericides) for general lab surface sterilization and grow room decontamination. Pesticides are designed primarily for controlling pests or pathogens on living plants, not for broad disinfection of inanimate surfaces. Why Bleach Outperforms Pesticides for Disinfection - Broad-spectrum action — Bleach rapidly kills bacteria, fungi, viruses, and many spores by oxidizing cellular components. Standard 10% dilutions (from household bleach) are highly effective on benches, tools, floors, and equipment in tissue culture labs and grow rooms. - Pesticides’ limitations — Fungicides (e.g., bavistin, mancozeb) or bactericides target specific organisms on plants and lack the broad, rapid kill needed for surfaces. They may leave residues that inhibit cultures or are ineffective against diverse contaminants. - Standard protocols — In tissue culture labs, bleach is the go-to for wiping surfaces and decontaminating waste. In grow rooms/greenhouses, bleach or similar oxidizers are used for between-cycle cleanouts to eliminate mold, bacteria, and pathogens. Here are examples of bleach being used to wipe lab benches in tissue culture settings: 3 “LARGE” 4 “LARGE” 5 “LARGE” 6 “LARGE” 7 “LARGE” 8 “LARGE” Spraying disinfectants (often bleach-based or similar) during grow room/greenhouse decontamination: 9 “LARGE” 10 “LARGE” 11 “LARGE” 12 “LARGE” In contrast, pesticides/fungicides are applied directly to plants for targeted control: 0 “LARGE” 1 “LARGE” 2 “LARGE” Occasionally, low concentrations of fungicides are added as pre-treatments for tough explants or to supplement sterilization, but they’re not a replacement for bleach on surfaces. Bleach Alternatives (If Needed) For less corrosive options: 70% ethanol, quaternary ammonium compounds (e.g., Green-Shield), or hydrogen peroxide-based products (e.g., ZeroTol). These are effective but bleach remains the most reliable and cost-effective for thorough decontamination.
