Tropicolada 4V Seedless
Suver8-68 x Auto Durban THCV
Type II, Varin Rich
The award-winning and field trial champion tetraploid mother of “Forbidden V” is brought to the table to create one of the world’s most interesting cannabis chemotypes you’ll find; this fits the definition of a type II plant--equal parts CBD and THC--but in this case, equal proportions of propyl compounds make this more like a 1:1:1:1 with CBD:CBDV:THC:THCV.
The resulting plants also benefit from heightened ploidy, making this the world’s first triploid type II commercially released. Expect an extreme flavor blast of tropical, sour candy flavors out of this one; 1/3 of the genome is terpinolene-forward, but the other 2/3rds are exotic tropical fruit with a hint of skunk.
Feminized Triploid Seeds
Ratio: 1:1:1:1 - CBD/CBDV/THCa/THCV
Flowering Time: 9-10 Weeks
Outdoor Finish: Mid October
This is a Type II seed variety and may produce some seed in areas of heavy pollination.
What is a triploid?
Plants in the wild are traditionally diploids, meaning they have 2 sets of chromosome pairs from each parent. Triploids are plants that have 4 sets of chromosome pairs from one parent and 2 sets from another, 4N + 2N = 3N. Triploids are very common in agriculture, from bananas, to seedless grapes, seedless watermelons, and seedless citrus.
Why triploids?
Triploids are basically sterile and do not like to make seeds. We also see more vigorous growth, bigger production, denser flowers, and more profound aromas. They are beasts! Side by side you can truly tell the difference in quality and yield.
How are triploid cannabis seeds made?
In order to make a triploid, we convert one of the parents to a tetraploid by applying colchicine. The process takes months and requires consistent testing using flow cytometry to ensure the parent is in fact a tetraploid. From there we pollinate it with diploid pollen. Tetraploids don't really like to make seeds either and we generally yield about 25% of the seed we would on a normal crop - hence the price tag.
Are triploids 100% seedless?
While triploids do not like to make seeds, they can produce small amounts under heavy amounts of pollination. If you are growing near large populations of males - i.e. grain or fiber cannabis crops or abandoned hemp farms, you may find a few.
Are triploids GMO?
Triploid seeds are not GMO, and our triploid hemp varieties are certified organic. Our THC varieties would be certified, but the USDA does not certify THC genetics.
Well-grown crops with good field conditions and accurate testing can yield 15-30% total cannabinoids variety dependent.
Growing technique, nutrient regime, sampling protocol, drying method, post-harvest handling, and laboratory accuracy all factor into total cannabinoid content on a crop-wide average.
Ratios refer to CBD, CBG, or CBDV/CBD percentages to total THC.
These COA's were taken from plants 30 days pre-harvest as required by the US Department of Agriculture, and are not an accurate representation of finished flower cannabinoid content.
For finished flower results we suggest seeking out results from other farmers who have grown our varieties. We cannot guarantee finished flower results, so we do not post them.
All seeds are feminized seeds.
A minimum of 10% extra seed is added to every order.
All seeds contain less than 0.3% total THC. Understand your local laws and ordinances before planting.
