Hi Steve and everyone,
I have also thought about creating CP mutants using microwave before,
but I didn't tried that becasue I don't have much seeds for experiments
and it seems crazy to put seeds in to the microwave oven.
I really want to know anyone have tried that before? can we use
chemical, UV or other methods which facilitate the production of CP
mutant from seeds?
Happy growing,
Tommy
