I'm sure you're busy as hell, but is there any way you could do a journal for this? I'd love to.follow it!

Only journals I'm really keeping are my log books. The one for media batches (exact tracking of everything used, let's me see if there is issues or success with variations where those things arose from), and one for my protocols. A lot of the plants I have are not currently in TC at any sort of volume, and steralizing explants from submerged or underground can be a nightmare. So tracking each variation of the steralizing protocols I use is again essential. I'll also hopefully before long be testing effects if varying concentrations of each of my plant growth regulators on (hopefully) at each genus. Then I can optimize media recipes for each plant species and each phase (establishment and/or callus induction/multiplication/rooting). And then again also tracking how successful my attempts at using callus in a liquid culture is vs normal multiplication methods. It sounds like a lot, but in all honesty is not that much. At least to me, since part of why I loved my biotech program so much (shout out SUNY ESF!) Is I very much enjoy data analysis, so the precision and tracking and trends and such.... They just clicked with me as second nature.
Once I'm in a real space...and not my spare bedroom/office in my apartment I'm going to actually keep my Facebook page updated (see: Adirondack Aquascaping, I think counting my wife and me, you'd be #4 to like it haha). It's empty except for a logo I made last night after taking my narcolepsy meds hahaha. And I plan to do YouTube stuff. Make a channel that shows a little about a TC lab and hopefully genetic work eventually, little bit about plants and care and soil and co2 and all that goes with it, some scaping guides, and hopefully even a little 'you can try it at home!' series. Showing hobbyists how they can do propagation of plants (be it aquarium, garden, house, w/e) in TC at home without the thousands of dollars needed to set up even a modest lab space. How to use Walmart sugar and bottled distilled water to propagate a cool rare begonia or Cryptocoryne and such. Spread scientific literacy and show people it's not scary or hard or intimidating, help foster interest and excitement about it. Maybe inspire some people to go to school for biotech like I did.
Oh, and if I get large enough to be traveling the world to collect new plants.... You better believe that'll be on there too.
For now tho... It's just my lab notebooks and working to establish and start multiplying 90 species, while trying to hunt down about another dozen that I really want, while working a full time job, 12.5h shifts 3 to 4 days a week in a semiconductor facility. No time to blog it and such. My wife and my cooking blog has even been shelved for now. This ... This is my free time. I'm taking a break from mythic raiding in wow. This is now a second full time job. So while there's no journal or log or blog ATM ... There WILL be a YouTube channel in the future, should this be successful. But if updates and knowing when those things are coming and happening, and when I start selling in a few weeks. ... Check the fb page and watch on there. It'll be the first place I update along with my as-yet-not-made website, domain name is parked just nothing in it yet haha.

Update, there is a thread on Barr report and on APC forums. Identical initially, comments more updated on APC

Couldn't tell you what section it's in, but I did start that journal page. Check profile and threads I started, you'll find it now.
