Hello everyone!I'm pretty new to this forum, so don't know much about where to get TC kits within the country. Because the shipping of the TC kits is very expensive. So does anyone have any good recommendation? Thanks!!

There are some very useful threads in the TC section with lots of details on where to order for Canadians.
The question of kits is part of the question of what do you really need for TC. The answer depends on what you are doing. Some people buy kits and some people buy everything separately.
People here generally like DIY and scrounging stuff all over the place which is generally cheaper and more fun.
So check the TC threads for ordering information (and more). If you have specific items you want and can't find the details in the old threads, then let us know what you are doing, what you have done, what you need and where you live.

Thank you so much for you prompt reply! I have bought most of the stuff for starting TC, currently what I'm looking for currently now is PPM, BAP , IBA, Agar and vessels. These are the things that I'm lacking, otherwise I can start off I'm trying to culture VFT mainly. And I heard VFT is pretty easy to culture. So ya, thank you again for your help!

Explants are not easy! Despite what you may read. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try them but don't fuss if you don't get results at first. Seeds are much easier. Look carefully at those threads. When you decide you need something, post where you are going to buy so we can help you avoid problems.
PPM-you need it if you don't have a LFH. Order the 30 ml directly from the manufacturer. BAP, IBA- there's a guy on eBay who has good prices. Phytotech is great for lids for baby food containers. Phytotech is also good for agar, hormones and everything else. Phone them and order by USPS to get cheaper rates. U of T medstore has good prices on hormones and lots of stuff. If you can visit Toronto, I could donate some of my excess hormones. Be very careful with hormones on explants-they can be toxic for CP's--> use 1/4 to 1/2 the concentrations listed in recipes.
