Yes, it is.
1-Photo of the cell size
Microscopic visualization of the stem. The photo shows the cellular organization of the outer face of the stem in Cannabis sativa. Cell size of tetraploid cells is much larger than that of diploid cells. This fact allows the cell nucleus to contain the extra genetic material and the cytoplasm to acquire more cellular organelles (such as chloroplasts) to generate a higher rate of metabolism.
''This fact allows...an higher rate of metabolism''
In tetraploid plants there is lower density of stomata on the surface of the leaf, but its size is much larger. This fact may allow them to lose less water by transpiration (more resistant to water stress) and as a result of the largest size, it ensures successful gas exchange.
Interesting research... I'm curious to see the results. Did you used colchicine to induce the mutations?
This reminded me to one of those internet legends about strains, and how UBC Chemo was supposed to be a tetraploid created by doctore David Suzuki for the Canadian government lol.
Buddha seeds, have you flowered out any tetraploid plants and had them tested for THC content ? smoked any of your Tetraploids ? Billy claims the stuff is super weed and currently producing Tetraploid seedlings for testing.
G`day Musta
A buddy of mine in Canada investigated the Chemo story .
He had a cut that was sposed to be Chemo .
He wrote to Dr David Suzuki and asked re Chemo . Dr Suzuki wrote a hand written reply . Explaining he didn`t have any involvement in Cannabis research or development . The letter was posted at Mr Nice forum about 4 years ago .
I do believe that the University of British Columbia may have dabbled in cannabis and Chemotherapy / cancers . But to the best of my knowledge the David Suzuki tag is just more urban myth from the home of the Free and imaginative .
Thanks for sharin

chemo came from bare foot hippies... still a mystery to what it is{imo affy} but there was seed past around{two cuts exist- montreal-fat wide leaves and shorter, and westcoast stretchier and thinner leaves}..... The ubc thing is funny....My partner had cancer when she was young{around the same time chemo was first around, long time ago!} and went to ubc for treatment. The doctors told her to try and get weed but never offered any or spoke of it. She had a rare type so she was "studied" at ubc, she did get weed but it was from her mom...
