What if u chop below last grown quad node. I'm guessing the aux branches will split as well in time, but chop that maybe? Wish had a few of these to try some experiments on and try different manifolding techniques
Polypoid seeds that I have done, sprout with 4 primary leaves..the phenotypes have been all over the board for me. False arelia houseplant looking..vines with flower clumps..huge plants that cannot support themselves..curled virused looking stuff..some with no tricomes..with lots of tricomes..very dark green..some sprout promisingly then perish..out of a pound of seed only a dozen sprouted..three survived in a greenhouse with great care..I guess it a numbers game to get survivable keepers..an the high/or toxcisicty is like red haired stranger that lasted..quick sharp lift..an sustained for an hour or so..my cohorts we're afraid of it ..fools thought colchcine was still in it! By the time the plant grows up..the concentration from seed absorbsoin is so diffused, an way below any detectable levels..people with gout take a fair amount of it..and it seems to help them? Heheh....I would devote a greenhouse to this endeavor..as diploids ruin the polypoids..an crosses amongst polypoids are the only way to perpetuate the qualities one is after. I am told..The wild Snapdragon vs today's cultivated snapdragons is an example of, the fruits of this labor?I'm hoping so. This could be a major yield if it plays out!
You got that right! I would love to build myself a 2nd greenhouse just for these plants. They do need to be treated a bit differently, they eat more, drink more and I find many of them have some unusual traits you don't usually see in regular plants.I would devote a greenhouse to this endeavor..as diploids ruin the polypoids.
We used colchisine back in the early 80's to make all female seed.View attachment 748598 View attachment 748599 View attachment 748605 View attachment 748605 View attachment 748605

be carefull. are you going to try smearing it on the cotyledon /meristem immediately after sprout?
I think i will make a stock solution of Surflan AS(oryzalin 40.4%) before i mess with the more toxic "C".
When i created my first polyploids(3 out of 40) they all died within 3 weeks of " birth". the stems were approx .75 wide and only about .o6 thick, curving left and right. crazy looking like a cactus, i was stoked, until they slowly ded. if u can get a poly to veg and keep it cloned, u will be soooo happy, i was.
The sad part of colchicine treatment for me was ..knowing the best genetics I could muster at the time..was almost all the seed I had...to loose so many seed..for so few survivors.. Would one work so hard, to improve his third rate plant line?Has anyone used an old color TV CRT emitter area of the tube to mutate seed?...hejej...or napthalene soaked or....a friend with an unmetered x-ray machine..or send a bag to the ISS for an extended stay... what new cannabinoids?
