When you say poor performers do you mean in flower or just in overall health and vigor? This plant seems one of my strongest
.
Fair enough. I like what I see out of that plant so I’ll keep ‘er unless she shows me some nuts. At that point he’ll have to get the chop.I only tried growing three (which was all I had experienced at the time), and that was over about a two year period. Two of them had the weak-looking "Blueberry" leaves from the start (actually, if I remember correctly, one of them was a Blueberry, Dutch Passion, I think; I do not recall what strain the other two, only that they were all different strains), and didn't appear to have any vigor (yes, I've grown IBLs and know not to expect hybrid vigor with those, but this was... less). The other one seemed healthy enough. One of the ones with mangled leaves got pooched halfway through the vegetative growth phase as a space-waster, the other one and the healthy one were brought to harvest. I wasn't especially impressed with the affects, and it seemed to me at the time that the size of them weren't reflected in their yields.
Again, your mileage may vary - as might mine have, had I not started culling them. As it happens, I have lots of strains in my "personal catalog," but few of each (mostly only one or two seeds per strain), therefore I might choose to allow one to remain in my garden if one appears in the future. Then again, lol... I only have a limited amount of space and, well... I have lots of strains
I certainly am not trying to tell you (or anyone else), "Do NOT grow one of these things out or you WILL be sorry!" Rather, I am merely reporting my limited experiences. It was just easier for me (in my mind, at least) to pooch them, since this mutation evinces so early in a plant's life. If it was the kind of thing that only appeared late, I might have kept more of them and tried that "hope" thing. IDK.

I absolutely will if it turns out female. And all my plants are the same strain/generation so I’ll be able to do some comparing.
I love my mutations; it's a crapshoot in regards to ultimate quality but when it works out it's like growing a different strain. I get some of my seeds from that very large Canadian seed company that used to be a sponsor here and their genetics can be quite disparate to put it kindly.Looking at my seedlings today and I have another with the three leaves per node (whorlled phylotaxy/or triploid). These will be around for my pollen chucking run so he/she has had its last picture taken.
Here are Today's haphazard photos of the lady I tried to show off last night. She is a gorgeous lady. Probably has 8 weeks til harvest. I'm horrible at record keeping.
Mutations can be bad or good. I could grow this one out and have everything perfect and she still might burn funny in a pipe or taste like garbage regardless of yield and odor. The ugly plant I am going to kill today could be scraggly, slow growing, late flowering, and all around bad aesthetically and be the greatest smoke I've ever had.. we will never know with that one.
The seedling above is a totally unstable hybrid I made without doing any testing. Wife is on the fence about tossing it, I'm not so much because I still have 30+ seeds.
