I think I read somewhere in that thread that his highest yielding plant was a tri or quad, but he also had low producers compared to normal plants. I think his intentions are to breed for the tri and quad traits only. If he successfully does this he will then start selecting for other traits, including yield.

Not to threadjack but I'm trying to stabilize a strain of white widow that tops itself and its growth shoots top themselves. Yields from these plants have been surprising, nearly double their normal siblings. Out of 10 first generation seeds, 3 have exhibited this trait. I'm hoping that this means it'll be easy to stabilize. Too early to tell. And this is my first stab in the dark at selective breeding so I know I'll be making lots of mistakes. :-)

I agree that using chemicals is bad juju, but much can be learned from experiments such as this. Just have to keep the experimental stuff separate from everything else.

dillhole Reviewed by dillhole on . triploid cannabis 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. Shov Rating: 5
