if this technology does become widely available we can expect average THC %'s go way up
like "greenhouse´s idea" with the coated seeds, this is nothing new.
Greenhouse colored seed is completely different than the artificial seed. You need to read more. Peace GS

This is the future of the seed biz...
Emphasis on the word "future".
The article linked to even says right at the start that it is still a long way off...
If prices got low enough...and they could be propagated easily enough...I would totally say fuck off to cloning and just get a bunch of these clone seeds. This could def. be the beginning of the end of the seed business as we know it.

I just hope the real seed biz never completely dies... bc I love looking through true male female seed stock and observing diff phenos.... Lucky I have a HUGE seed collection... anyway for propagation this is defntly the future and it is very neat technology... artificial seeds... who would have thought?? LOL... I have been interested in all tissue culture related ideas and concepts for while now bc they have a spot in the future of cannabis cultivation no doubt...

I would pay hundreds if not thousands for "clone seeds" of a desired plant.

Oh yeah.. Imagine the ease of transporting elite clones and the possibilities of allowing access to elites all over the world... mother plants will be gone... the ease of storing genetics and the time and space saved in grow rooms from eliminating mother rooms and cloning areas...pretty wild really... but it till be some time before this is wide spread.. even after it hits it will be a while before it completely catches on and takes over the propagation market...

its a good idea but not the end of the seed business , all this will do is give people anywhere access to clone only plants , if anything this will be like a myth buster , were anyone can try the actual clone and judge for them self how good it is , plus and hype surrounding the 'elites ' will be at a minimum because everyone can try it , but to get new fresh strains and tastes still gunna have to breed , but one thing im sure of , the first company to successfully produce and market 'seed clones' will become very famous ,and very very wealthy
Google 'Artificial seeds', or 'synthetic seeds'. There is an abundance of information on this technique. Artificial seed posts were on Cannabis World in 1999/2000. I'm sure Chimera and Breeder Steve were supposed to be experimenting with the technology at that time.
A basic 'how to' below.

Yeah, looks like fish roe...weed caviar.
The technology is there for the cannabis breeder to use. The challenge is working within the legal constraints of the country or state.
I can see where US states that allow clone trading for medical purposes would allow this.
Not sure how Canada or the UK would view this? How is plant material defined? And could that definition be modified to allow for the sale of these seed clones.?

These 'seeds' will be considered plants. So any vendor would essentially be risking 20 to life in the Federal Pen.
I wouldnt hold my breath, no way this comes before fed re-scheduling.
Easier ways to make money vs. the risk. CAPITALISM!

Anyone know how you transfer these particular 'seeds' to a substrate? Seems 'home' users would still need agar, etc.
Some of us cultivated mushes before Mj.... (not that you need to go agar, flowhood, etc, for a few batches of cubes).

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The clone seed will be an exact replica of the donor plant. But half the fun for a majority of hobbiests is the pheno selection.
Yes, I do want to see what DJ Shorts selection of Blueberry is all about, yes I do want an excellent representation of Bubblegum etc.
But I don't want my choices limited by the ripple effect clone seeds would have over time.
I see this as a good thing, but I keep looking to the Lorax as a probable moral. Or Monsanto if that seems a bit to dramatic.
