Also, about the polyploid issue..just FYI.....I came across a strain from the norcal area. I had 2 females. I applied many stresses to get some male characteristics. I mean, this plant was like f!cking king kong when it came to handling stress. Both plants were alive for about 8mos and went thru overheating, cooling (below 50F), crazy photoperiods I mean I left these plants in dark places for days and then put them in light for days and all kinds of things......no male characteristics after that time. I did all the stuff that causes it, none worked. I did not however apply "chemical" stress for fear of killing them
As you can tell, I really wanted beans from this stalk (even more so as I saw how it handled physical stress). In the end, I left outside and came back and the plants were brown, but not brittle, just brown. Anyways, I still smoked them....
