I've had more then a few with 3 at each node all the way thru flower .

The first purple wreck I grew had 3 a node and was a female. Retained the growth pattern throughout flower too:).I've had more then a few with 3 at each node all the way thru flower .
Only by digestion and microscope but check this out, I have the exact same thing going on and haven't even opened my Surflan AS jug and haven't processed the Colchicum Autumnale corms (which were pricey)to make any stock or working solutions. I ran a polyploidy strain from Washington state in the late 80's and I swear that NOTHING compares to that. I couldn't grow it fast enough. better than hash and that smell!Hey fellers, I have a plant in my garden that is exibiting an odd growth pattern. At each node, there are four leaf stems coming out from the main stem. They aren't in perfect alignment, but they are all there within 1/4" of each other.
My question is, can one tell whether a plant is a polyploid by it's external appearance, or is true determination only possible by examining and counting the chromosomes under a microscope?
I am going to do whatever it takes to get a poly strain going and if you stumble across(or know how to create one easily) any methods please let me know. visa versa

be carefull. are you going to try smearing it on the cotyledon /meristem immediately after sprout?
I'm just at the early stage of researching colchicine-induced polyploidy, but from what I've gathered.... it's a real bitch to do from seed. The colchicine kills nearly all the seeds, so you have to have a LARGE amount of seeds to start with.
Not very practical. However, I am interested in toying with another colchicine method when I get back in the game. It involves making a colchicine/lanolin paste which you apply to the axil of a plant or cut.
If nobody sheds more light on this, I'll re-visit this thread and let you know how good or bad it went.
