Colchicine
Marijuana Horticulture
by Jorge Cervantes
Colchicine, an alkaloid, is prepared from the dried corns and seeds of Colchicum autumnale, the autumn crocus that also produces saffron. the pale yellow powder is water soluble.
Colchicine is a very dangerous, poisonous compound that can be used to induce polyploid mutations in cannabis. Clandestine breeders started polyploid strains with colchicines, but none of the strains showed any outstanding characteristics, and cannabinoid levels were unaffected.
Rather than explain how to use colchicine, I will advise not to use it. It is very toxic and produces no change in potency. I do not know any seed breeders that use it today.
That’s good straight to the point info that I needed.Heard of this and while generally staying away from chemical enhancement on my crop,what I heard made me interested enough to check it out.In a world of often times too much useless info to sift through to find what I need it’s refreshing and appreciated to get what I need in one click without any bullshit on top.cheers
You would be circumventing the law by raising polyploid plants since marijuana is defined taxonomically….reason enough to attempt the seedsoak method.
