I'm currently reading Methods of Plant Breeding By Herbert Kendall Hayes and he has some discussion of Polyploids and being able to create them through a solution of Colchicine at 1% or less. I haven't heard of anyone using this in cannabis but through some reading in the book it seems as though inducing polyploidy would be beneficial to cannabis cultivators through allowing more vigorous growth and larger yields.
Has anyone used this? What were the results like? I didn't know where to put this and figured the Strains and Hybrids section would reach out to those members who know what I'm talking about.
I think the hardest part about using it would be sourcing the colchicine, but from the reading it sounds like you can soak seeds in a solution and it will induce polyploidy.
