I call them gmo because the genetics were modified, changed.
Yes, you're use of the term gmo I think I understand now.


They used colchicine induced mutations to make polyploids,
Afaiu sone do, but not all of the breeders. To much generalization imo.


You can call them frankenplants,
Then almost all the fruits and vegetables we can buy (even in health food stores) would be gmo / frankenplants.
Most everything available today has been breed and crossed by humans to achieve some desired trait...


the medicinal properties have been lost.
That good sir seems like a crass generalization imo.
Who knows what traits are carried over to the offspring...

I think maybe there is a language misunderstanding.

I do not think plant hybrids are gmo.

I think that plants that are treated with colchicine to induce polyploidy are gmo because their genetics have been modified.

I also consider genetically edited plants to be gmo although sadly they are not considered to be gmo by most people and are often sold with an organic label in the supermarket.

Skunk hemp and og are all modified, therefore their descendants carry this damage.

Almost all cannabis varieties currently available are descendants of these three plants.

Who "They used colchicine" did this?

I would wager 95% of cannabis breeders have never heard of Colchicine.

Certainly you can't be suggesting OG Kush was created in this form?

Skunk was a polyhybrid to begin with so finding it "pure" is subjective.

Everything got crossed with skunk, there was a pure skunk in phylos galaxy listed as just numbers and letters but it was removed. Skunk #1 is still there but it’s not pure skunk.
Interesting skunk and hemp the chromatography looks very similar but og the difference between it and landrace is less obvious, but still significant. Possibly it was modified in a different way, edited perhaps.
Landrace chromatography looks like a healthy meadow, og looks like a lawn mower just went over it, skunk and hemp look like all the plants died in a frost and then it snowed.
