POLYPLOIDY?

ive been doing some reasearch on polyploid plants and id like to try for one maybe... ive read the best way was to induce it on a seedling with cochicine rather than to strip foiliage or treat the bud sites... does this just happen sometimes? for anyone who doesnt know its when say the stalk grows double the nodes and is almost like 2 stalks pushed together.. sometimes even more than 2... this is really cool i hope someone knows how this works.. found this pic on someones thread on rollitup looks real wiked.. [edit] also if i were to treat a seedling and it survived and grew like this could i smoke it 6 months down the road or is cochicine that bad of a chem? :rastasmoke:
