Any experience here with triploid cannabis specimens?
I grew one years ago and the mass was excellent but the potency could not be compared as it was the only specimen in the grow.
Two years abo I had a 6 gal bucket plant with a triploid doing very well when I killed it with deseased nutes.

I started a germ last Sat. and I have one triploid. It's a little crooked, but I think I it's good. I just wanted to know about the growing and smoking features of this genetic anomaly.

Someone flame me if I'm wrong but I believe that you are confusing polyploidy with the common tripling mutation. And that you can't tell if a plant is polyploid for sure without breeding it a few times and studying what happens....

Very well may be my confusion. I'm not familiar with this common tripling mutation. Can you give me any information about it?

Thanks

whorled phyllotaxis is the name of this anomaly, I guess. Any info on this?

I don't know what causes it but I'd say I see a seedling displaying it about once a year. I just got one last week actually... it's neat but I'm not sure if it is at all helpful in terms of yield.
