Totally understand
Polyploidy might lead us to super strains but as far as i know its never been seen in cannabis.
OH YES! It has been shown in cannabis.....You can induce it with a nasty poison chem too. Thing is it kills 99.98% of the beans treated and it is stupid hard on a plant that does turn... The attempts to then breed that going forward have been beyond difficult! It just doesn't take well by the genetic make up of a plant......The plants tends to give non viable seeds and ones that do pop are weak and lack any real vigor. Much less have the expression. Like nature saying NO, this is not going to go on....Human and animal expressions of poly - DIE or are not born alive...
A Spanish breeder went nuts on attempting to use it in breeding. He had serious problems and one worker actually got poisoned (that is the rumor part).
The whole project got scrapped after a year and he never reported back on the failure it was.
Poly is whole plant effected.. It does not grow a super weed and in fact, as RED says. Produces sub part potency and
very slow growth in poly expressing plants.
Now, with all that said. I agree that it's most likely a branch that lost atypical dominance and became a twin.......
