Oddball: Anyone have experience with this?

[BlackSheep138]

This little guy is throwing me through a loop. it sprouted with 3 coty leaves, and now its growing 3 true leaves as well...

the rest of my plants are also a very spring green, and the oddball is very dark. same ph @ 6.2, same light coverage, same temp.

Anyone ever experienced this? I'm curious if the plant will continue to sprout triplets and if it will be a blessing or a curse.

May be a polyploid. Time will tell. If so then yes, I've had a few. All of the polyploid plants that I've ever had (3), once they grow the stems grow really flat and wide and every Bud site where it would normally grow one will grow two. If it is a polyploid they can get crazy because everything is doubled. It may just be a genetic defect and nothing to do with a polyploid but if it is you may be in for a fun ride. Some polyploids can grow so much bud that it's crazy to look at

Well in that case, I will give it a little TLC and fingers crossed its female!

Grow it out and create a grow journal for it and document everthing thats going on so you can help people next time with this bc it pops up abunch of the frequent asked questions forums..

It's still growing, node #2 had 2 leaves conjoined, and the 3rd is on the opposite side of the new growth.

Its growing slower than the rest, and the leaves are a bit funky. BUT the stalk is twice as supportive as the rest. I have been gently stressing the stalks to strengthen them. The tri-leaf doesnt wanna budge an inch so I've left it be.

Interested to see how the stems develop as the plant gets older.

I am as well, I've talked to a few people in town that have been growing for years and they are unsure. One of them said they had the strain grandmaster kush that genetically had this trait and his yields were that of 2 plants!

Wishful thinking, I know.

so! On top of having the tri-leaf specimen that has had the spotlight so far, another discovery that has me a bit dazzled.

This plant has been growing the usual bi-nodes for 5 weeks. Today I noticed the new growth on both branches is now tri-node. It has converted?

 

[fanleaf]

Too close to a nuclear facility or overhead power lines would be my guess at this point. Haha

I have a plant going right now that started bi-node and transitioned into tri-nodes. Its a male though. Its fun to watch what they do.

 

[BlackSheep138]

This tri node is out of control lol. new branch growth has 5 leaves per node now.

Looking good buddy thats a good thing and nice top out bud

 

[NamTran]

I read somewhere that this kind of mutation is a good thing.

Well,it's not a bad thing...
It will make trimming the buds a bit more work,but that's the only downside that I see.
Check out the second pic post#13 in @Rosie44's thread-

2nd grow, White Widow: One is different then the others?

I'm guessing that's sort of what yours will look like when she's "ripe".

I can only hope! lol. I'm quite allright with an extensive trim, more cuttings for more purposes.
