will be interested to see the triploid when finished; I may be pessimistic but I think that the application of big agriculture's standards for the newest F1 hybrids (actually digging deep, deep into purely inbred lines before F1), the preference for autoflowers, and the emergence of more research with triploids - that we might be in for a future very much like Monsanto and food crops (a future where we might not have much access to anything but unbreedable, barely cloneable, autoflowers that we must purchase every season in perpetuity)
I know this is amongst the many reasons folks seem to cite for moving away from autos and even fems back into regs; def something to keep an eye on, certainly has some cool applications. i just hope it is used to benefit not gatekeep further
