What are Triploids?

Traditionally, cannabis genetics are composed of two sets of chromosomes, making it diploid. In regular cannabis seeds, one chromosome comes from the male parent (the 'Y' chromosome) and the other from the female parent (the 'X' chromosome). This results in 'XY' chromosome pairs in regular cannabis seeds.

On the other hand, feminised cannabis seeds contain only two 'X' chromosomes from the female parent, leading to mostly female offspring.

Triploid seeds have three sets of chromosomes, with the additional set coming from either the male or female parent. Due to the odd number of chromosomes, triploid plants are sterile and cannot be fertilised. As a result, triploids are always completely seedless.

There are various species in which horticulturists have cultivated triploid plants, not only in the world of cannabis breeding. These plants, such as seedless watermelons and bananas, offer advantages that have been recognized and utilised. The absence of seeds makes them more convenient for consumption, making them more desirable to consumers.

Triploid Cannabis Plants

During the 1990s, the introduction of photoperiod feminised seed technology rendered regular cannabis seeds almost obsolete, with only a small niche of 1-2% of buyers still interested in them.

In the 2000s, the first Autoflowering cannabis seeds were released and quickly improved, eventually becoming a game-changer in the market, accounting for approximately half of all cannabis seed sales. This brought Autoflowering seeds to the same level of popularity as photoperiod feminised seeds.

With the recent availability of triploid cannabis seeds, it is expected that they will also cause significant disruption in the cannabis market.

Triploid cannabis plants have numerous advantages. They provide a crop without seeds, increased yields, larger buds, and a higher quantity of cannabinoids.

Triploid cannabis breeding increases yield and potency, with potential benefits such a shorter flowering times and higher biomass in terms of leaves and stems, and helps growers prioritise preventing pollination of female flowers in cannabis production.

What is the process for producing Triploid Cannabis Seeds?

Triploid cannabis seeds are developed through the introduction of an additional set of chromosomes in the plant during the process of natural reproduction. This is done by exposing a plant to an organic chemical compound, which is commonly found in Crocus flower bulbs, called colchicine. The colchicine affects cell division, resulting in plants with four chromosomes.

These tetraploid plants are then crossbred with regular diploid plants, which have two chromosomes. As a result, the resulting seeds all have three chromosomes (triploid) and are almost entirely sterile with a 99% chance of not being able to reproduce.
