No <b>DNA from another species<\/b> is introduced in the laboratory. The process is based on <b>natural polyploidy<\/b> and is achieved through advanced <b>breeding<\/b> techniques, crossing a mother plant that has doubled its chromosomes naturally or induced with a normal plant.\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n    <h3 itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordion-titulo\" style=\"width: 100% !important;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_take_cuttings_clones_from_a_triploid_plant\"><\/span>Can you take cuttings (clones) from a triploid plant?\n<span class=\"toggle-icon\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n    <div class=\"accordion-content\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n      <div itemprop=\"text\">\nYes, perfectly. The fact that they have <b>three sets of chromosomes (3n)<\/b> makes their sexual reproduction extremely difficult, but it does not affect their <b>asexual or vegetative reproduction<\/b>. You can cut branches from a triploid plant, root them, and keep them as mothers exactly as you would with any traditional diploid variety.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n  <h3 itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordion-titulo\" style=\"width: 100% !important;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_triploid_plants_require_different_nutrition_or_fertilization\"><\/span>Do triploid plants require different nutrition or fertilization?\n<span class=\"toggle-icon\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n  <div class=\"accordion-content\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n    <div itemprop=\"text\">\nGenerally yes, they tend to <b>tolerate and demand more nutrients<\/b>. By having <b>larger cells<\/b> and a more efficient metabolism, triploid plants usually show <b>more vigorous growth<\/b>. This means they often assimilate fertilizers better and tolerate <b>slightly higher EC levels<\/b>, especially during the flowering phase.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n  <h3 itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordion-titulo\" style=\"width: 100% !important;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_a_triploid_plant_is_stressed_can_it_become_hermaphroditic_and_produce_seeds\"><\/span>If a triploid plant is stressed, can it become hermaphroditic and produce seeds?\n<span class=\"toggle-icon\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n    <div class=\"accordion-content\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n      <div itemprop=\"text\">\nThe risk is <b>extremely low<\/b> compared to normal ones. In common diploid cannabis, stress can cause a female plant to produce male flowers and self-pollinate. In a triploid plant, even if stress were to induce some male flowers, the <b>pollen generated or the ovules<\/b> are usually <b>99% sterile<\/b>, so it is almost impossible for it to form viable seeds.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n  <h3 itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordion-titulo\" style=\"width: 100% !important;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_are_triploid_seeds_usually_more_expensive_on_the_market\"><\/span>Why are triploid seeds usually more expensive on the market?\n<span class=\"toggle-icon\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n    <div class=\"accordion-content\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n      <div itemprop=\"text\">\nThe higher price is due to the <b>complexity<\/b> and <b>cost of their production<\/b>. To create triploid seeds, banks must maintain a line of <b>tetraploid (4n)<\/b> plants, which are difficult to develop, stabilize, and maintain. In addition, the success rate in germination and pollination during the cross <b>(4n \u00d7 2n)<\/b> is much lower, which reduces the amount of seeds obtained per commercial harvest.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div style='text-align:center' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world of cannabis is constantly evolving, and one of the most recent innovations is triploid seeds.
