Billy Bud (William Harold Bradshaw) is a bull shitting ass hat.... At least he's a wasted mental case.
He found a niche in gullible wannabe's, buying his BS.
He says that Giants came from women using "Autumn Crocus" (Orchid, and the source of colchicine. the chemical used in botany to increase chromosomes) as a "labor pain reducer". This in-turn created human off spring with Tetraploidy.....Thing is? He comfortably forgets that trip or Tetra human offspring that actually survive (most are stillborn). Live only a week or two.
This hack is the guy who started out his adult life by trying to make synthetic cocaine. Can be done but, what do you really change by making a synthetic that is one or two molecules off the original one?
Actually the "infamous" Pink Kush is reported to be tetraploid
So he states that pre 98 Bubba is tetraploid too..
Thing is only him and some other poly, "smoke and mirrors" guy says so..
The only way to prove it is? Expensive electron microscope time...
Most of this garbage was debunked back in 2014
The use of colchicine makes for some pretty fucked up plants. If treating seeds.....good fucking luck getting one to pop, much less survive.
He makes assumptions, not facts from actual lab or quality breeding practice.... You look at some of the people playing with tetra and poly and you have to ask yourself. "How do these idiots still stay in business?" Tetraploid breeder on instgram states he sells tetra and trip beans..
Look at his pictures closely......Those he calls triploid are simply whorled phyllotaxy !!! This has been misdiagnosed that same way, before that idiot came along..
BTW tetraploidy is another thing plants can do that humans can't. In fact, rye grass has a very broadly used tetraploid strain. It is more digestible by cows. So much so, that it's widely used on dairy and penned beef cattle..
As for Triploidy? yup, it exist's in the plant world. In fact you eat trips every time you eat seedless grapes, seedless watermelon, Banana's, and other things.. Triploid plants are sterile! They can not produce offspring. At least as a rule. Three sets of chromosomes make it very unlikely for meiosis to successfully produce spores and gametophytes.
From everyone I have known to have had an actual Trip plant. They grew stupid slow and were less potent then other plants of the same strain not expressing any polyploidy.
Also contrary to his claims.. These plants did not grow taller or fuller then non poly sisters...
WARNING!!!! to the membership
Don't play with colchicine to attempt to create polyploid plants! This stuff is highly poisonous and it is easy to make a simple mistake that send you to a hospital....
