chromosome manipulation, polyploids...

so ive been reading about Colchicine and how it is used to add sets of chromosomes to pretty much any plant with cell devision, which is all of them i think... what this does is increase most possitive qualities in the plants. from what i have read, this is standard for most commercial aggriculture now days.

my question for all you experts is this: do all or most of our seeds out there already contain this tripolid characteristic or should we all be trying to cop a bottle of colchicine?

I was reading some posts by "natmoon" and he said that from a batch of seeds he may have one triploid... it is my understanding that if one triploid plant yields a certain amount of seeds, ALL those seeds will be polyploids. this shit doesnt happen on accident right? you cant breed genetic mutation that quick right?

I need some answers here people!

wow, thats above my pay grade..

yeah, no fucking clue man........ i honestly have absolutely no idea what your talking about...... can you explain it a little bit better for us dumb people?

lol, no problem.

it all began in the 20's or 30's when america was trying to develop a super cannibis strain to produce high amounts of hemp to make ropes and what not for the war effort. this dude by the name of H.E. Warmke was heading up this task experimenting with dna manipulation. He found that when using a 10% Colchicine/water formula, you can basically mutate a dividing cell. so if introduced to a seed the entire plant will have one extra set of chromosomes. when introduced to say just one shoot, then just that part of the plant will be a polyploid and if polinated, those seeds will be full polyploids. this process will kill or harm the plant, but the ones that survive will be super strains. im pretty sure this is what we have to thank for all the crazy strains today, but im not sure.

btw, Colchicine is used to treat gout and is extremely poisonous. i guess youre not supposed to eat or smoke the plant treated with this chemical. so you have to actually throw away a fully budded plant. but not before you harvest all the mutant freak seeds...
