I will let you know how it goes :)

I just wish i knew a good way to determine if they become polyploidy or not.

Boooyah!

One of the many morning glory seeds i have soaked in my colchicine solution for 15 hours has germinated!

It took a while, compared to the normal germinating time of a morning glory seed, and it still hasn't popped up yet.. so its still going slow.

in other words, i think its clear that it is polyploidy now, and the colchicine probably killed most of the others, or it is the first one to sprout.

But anyways, so far so good, oh yeah and my lettuce sprouts growth is severely stumped compared to my other lettuce sprouts that haven't been treated with my colchicine solution.

:) nice !
i just hope that the growing stage that your lettuces are experimenting now is not the growing stage powered by the endosperm resources.

keep it up dude !
