Shipping a petri dish with some clumps of leaf tissue growing roots it a lot more stable than trying to send a cutting. And this would be for keeping genetics handy. Imagine just a postage stamp size of living tissue being used to propagate thousands of plants. Shipped in an envelope.

Where are you at btw? And have you considered tissue culture?

So just fyi you soak the seeds.

The ones I grew were clone only, and pretty exclusive.

I've grown a few that I suspected at the time to be tri and tetra ploid, but the nice article has confirmed my suspicions. One particular triploid I grew was effectively sterile, it would very rarely produce seeds and when it did they were those hollow white 'ghost' seeds. I never got any seed...

Guys guys... No need to throw rocks. It's impossible for someone to know everything. Thanks for broadening my thoughts on the subject of GM cannabis and whatnot. Have either of you grown any polyploid cannabis before?

Wow, for some reason that hadn't occurred to me. There has got to be some reason the project was 86ed. The only thing I can remember about the compound is that it began with a t.

Back onto mutations! Super awesome idea! Theoretically if the mutation is going to make the plant a dud, i.e. die for some reason, it should make sense it would happen before the seed even germinates. Just like mutations in our own offspring result in prenatal natural abortions. I heard of...

I went the other way lol. Fast multiplying annual, something simple: algae.

But it doesn't really matter because with genetic engineering we can have algae produce Botulism or even synthetic drugs like Fentanyl! There are no limitations!

Then I would also point out you are not getting 20% alkaloid yield from the whole poppy plant.

Poppies produce about 20% raw alkaloid, cannabis can produce more for a lot less input of resources. Tobacco is insanely potent because raw nicotine is insanely potent. I don't know what ratios for drug production tobacco has, but I would bet it's about 5% raw yield in the leaf tissue. It is a...

There is a gene printer in existence that allows you to print your own DNA, that coupled with the *relatively* simple process of using a bacterium or virus to insert that DNA into a living tissue culture, then growing that tissue culture out to see if the gene took or not. It is a tedious but...

When you are changing things on that scale certain collateral damage is going to happen like it or not. I hate to use the analogy but: to make an omelete, you have to break a few eggs.

The smiley stuff, I think that is what is most worth breeding for!

Theoretically, the ACDC won't do as well a job as the Cannatonic, just because the CBD/THC ratio is skewed this time in the favor of CBD. But there has been Zero testing done on the general populace, and almost zero scientific testing on cannabanoids in general across the globe to see what the...

Fantastic! Super happy something is working for you! I hope we can get you a cutting so you can grow your own!

I haven't had anything to confirm my suspicions yet, so cool, thanks man.

Nope, and if you want to use vinegar without it polluting the system in biological terms, try distilled white vinegar.

H2O2 for the win! You could also try to fight the Acetobacter with other bacteria Try to stay away from the fungicide - just my scruples.
