    Where can I buy polyploid clones or seeds?

    A lot of todays strains have polyploids in the family tree,it's just not mentioned or possibly known by seed houses,as colchicine's heyday was from the mid 70's to the mid 80's. I'd speculate that any pure Sativa that's hyped as having "large,dense,buds" has polyploid genetics.
