Triploid Genetics: Seedless Cannabis Is Here, But Is the Industry Ready?
GTR Seeds and Humboldt Seed Company are both shipping triploid (seedless) cannabis genetics. Downs explains the science: triploid plants have three sets of chromosomes instead of two, making them functionally sterile. The upside for growers is obvious — no seeds, ever, even if a stray male pollinates your room. But breeders are worried: if plants can't reproduce, the genetics are a dead end. Is this the future or a gimmick?
