How could you tell it was poly?
it was a mass of what you could call branches, it looked like a cauliflower stem with a single flowering head that grew to about 12" tall, funnily enough i had a wide moheachan at the time and this thing had the same shaped flower to it.
i used to carry it around in a plastc bag showing everyone, because everyone wanted to see it.
but apart from that, the guys at collage that the seeds came from were messing round with colchacine amounghst other things.
thats all i can tell you about it,because thats all i know. i had it in a gallon plastic cider bottle that i cut the top out of to grow it in.
but only 1 in three seeds i germinated showed this, one i gave away and the other i took cuttings from and proved to be an easy one to clone so kept it as a mother for a time.
i would turn up at the club house on the back of a bike and put it on the table for all to see. made for a great talking point, even to the bikers who wernt too happy about me being there in the first place
