Let spliced botany plants retain the reagents of mutated strains

[moistgrandmas42]

Agreed wholeheartedly. Allowing for simpler plant breeding would go a long way in reviving interest in botany. There's some really neat things you can make in botany as is, but you're always limited by the final form either being inedible/not smokable.

One thing to keep in mind is each additional reagent spliced into a plant increases the potency divisor, and could always be tweaked if needed.
