Matt - I am treading in deep water here because I, also, have no first
hand experience with colchatrine (would someone please check correct sp?)
but I do own 3n and 3n plants. The 4N orchids are bigger, stronger, and
make pronouncedly larger, more robust blooms. I don't know if this is
always the case but it is certainly the case with some orchids. I think
it's true with trees, also, because I am aware of the work going on right
not to produce the "super " tree that would almost leap up out of the ground.
I am sure others will be along with a more scientific explanation.
Cheers,
Phil
