The thought of getting a polyploid clone that is free of the colchicine, well I'm not sure, but it sounds like you might get a very vigorous plant.
Thanks for bringing up the topic and +rep to you.

So are you saying use a polyploid male and female then pollinate?
Does it affect genetics? I wouldn't think the offspring would be affected.
If that stuff is toxic say it has .001% in the plant matter from the original mutated plant, the clone will have a little bit less, then if you grow it out and take another clone it will have even less...
But IDK if I would really want to chance it.
I had a polyploid cola on my plant that was due to a severe nute burn.
