I'm really excited about the triploid genetics. Hopefully, they'll be visibly special.
It's so cool that GC is offering them now.
I added a few nutrients like lava rock flour and sheep's wool to the soil, along with some leonardite and wollastonite, and that's it. Since the soil was recently used, it should still contain plenty of microorganisms.
I'm already preparing a tent with my soil. Had to go outdoors at night get some more soil from a park and prepare it😅
It's 4 free there and great quality.
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
@ATLien415, You're absolutely right. Especially since triploids are infertile. Like everything else in life, you should be aware of it. I also have regular plants and do a bit of cross breeding myself for fun. It's a shame that there aren't many options these days, but it's still enough, and as long as we protect the landraces, everything should be fine.
Still, I'm really excited to see what comes out of it.
