honestly think this could be better achieved through plant breeding, simply select plants that did the best and grow them to seed, they'll pass on the good traits and each year do the same thing, eventually you should have a plant thats pretty resistant to mites and pm, etc. yea gene splicing may be faster, but if you breed properly you can trump any genetic modifications
Just noticed this thread. It's a beauty. I can just see myself growing glow-in-the-dark MJ outdoors where I used to live in Australia's 'Green Triangle' They already use infra-red technology to find patches. They'd LOVE glow-in-the-dark cannabis.
What he said. Lots of people who are growing outdoors start with bagseed. Not many people organize their seed by name. So when it comes flowering time and the leafs start glowing one night, your entire neighborhood will scatter through the woods looking for an alien crash sight. Only to find a plant. Come to think of it, that would be hilarious. Please do make this strain, and cross bread it with thai stick. So we can have a strain in America called glow sticks
Or California, they're just across the pond. -- What if the bio-luminescence could be bred into the stamen only....then we'd have instant indicators of hermies or renegade males? Or even just a UV fluorescence, and we could simply use UVA to find them. GLOWING BANANAS FOR THE WIN!
Making the plant glow in the dark is the easy part. I have the recipe and could do this in less than a month. the tricky part is the testing the product and monitoring results. Lab rats are REALLY expensive and long term effects would have to be closely investigated over a long period of time. If someone wants to grow a fluorescent plant, no problem just don't smoke it yet.
hey yaww...i would like to see you grow any glow in the dark planti would think the ornimental market alone would set ya upwhat ya waitin' on
Might be easier than u think.... I might actually give this a go... All u need is some bacteria, firefly or coral genes, and the ability to clone.. Believe it!.. Not to mention Korean scientists made glow in the dark cats!

21 sec. were spent pondering the confabulated rigmarole comprising this thread. I still say we need to get them bananas to light up like christmas tree bulbs. Pretty and functional. Plus imagine the fun of a pollen party under black lights. Yeah.
Just wondering, what would happen to the bioluminescent chemicals once the plant was burned? I don't know about you, but if my mouth starts glowing, I don't want to look like I've just eaten glow sticks...
