Flasked seeds and cells,- NOW WHAT?

Ok guys, I looked at phyto-tech labs and while the prices for the actual medium are good, they wanted $2.50 for 2 containers of replication medium but $13+ for shipping and what they call a handling/processing fee. That is ridiculous for what should only cost 6$ at the most for priority mail and they offer no usps only ups and fed ex shipping. That is the most retarded thing I have ever heard of and a way to swindle people into paying more for unnecessary services and postage. I was hoping there are some other suggestions for places that choose not to rip off our hard earned money or are at least a bit more reasonable on shipping and processing fees. I also emailed some people to ask them if they have any kind of replication medium that will work. I guess in time I will figure it all out.

I use Phytotech medias, the trick is to place a big order, and stock up...that kind of helps. I'm not familiar with replication medium, but if multiplying is what you are trying to do, this can be acheived simply by adding a little coconut water to your medium (I use P-723, and replate with P-785). This will cause the protocorms to put out a lot more plants.....the more coconut water, the more proliferation. Not sure if that is what you are looking for, but maybe that'll help. Good luck!
