Creating the Superclone-Colchicine Experiment
Well I am going to treat some seeds and see what happens.
I remember getting some good results 'back in the day'.
I still have 16 pills, 0.6mg, dated Jan. 1, 1983
Hope it's still good.
There has been much discussion on this subject:
Here is the link to the Colchicine discussion thread
Below is the design for the experiment as of now.
Please chime in with any ideas you might have for design of this experiment. Multiple heads are better than one. We can make it a community effort with a little help.
Step 1-Baseline information
Sample of two different sets of seeds going to germ. - 5/25
in process
Determine germination rate.
Step 2-Colchicine treatment
Treat sets of seeds with Colchicine over variables that include time and concentration.
Step 3-Germination
Segregate seed sets and place in paper towels.
