to me it looks like its a polyploid... hard to see with sodium light above it, so i could be wrong. and if u didnt clone this potential polyploid then u may of just lost out..

Why would you think its a polyploid?


Because of how large the leaves are?

This is one of 2 FCJ that I have going and its experiencing fasciation. (Polyploid cola)





Polyploid is only happening to 2 colas on this plant and tbh the main growth is being concentrated on those 2 poly colas. Everything else on the plant is a little disappointing for its age.

I can also confirm the CRITICAL+ you mentioned isn't poly its just big ass colas lol.



I have the topped part of this plant as a clone type SOG and its DEFINATELY not poly.

conjoined twins;
and Jonda its not by random chance that i thought i seen it and then u did have 1, in this case 2!!
u have a good explanation to why u didnt opt to clone that sucker?!?!?!?!? u get that dialed in you will be seeing some MASSIVE buds!

To be honest I only have the single room now.

But freaks of nature don't interest me.

Plus ploy's or fasciation are 50/50 as to whether they perform or not.


I don't have 2 poly plants. Only 1 but it has 2 poly colas. But like I said its development is only towards those poly colas.


I've done the whole mother/clone area and shit.

Now I like to keep it simple as I only grow for myself.


Growing is something I do to smoke.

Polyploid means something has extra chromosomes. Normally chromosomes are paired which gives rise to diploids, but sometimes you get an entire extra set which are called tetraploid which produce 4 leaves at each node when young and two at each mature node. Tetraploid and diploid plants can be bred to create sterile triploid plants which is where we get seedless watermelons from.

It means it has extra copies of genes, which is expressed by growing more leaves at nodes, 4 for immature tetraploid plants and 2 for mature ones. Here's a pic of a tetraploid plant I found that you can see the four leaves

Only polyploid plants with an even haploid number can reproduce, when a tetraploid plant and a diploid produce offspring the result is a triploid plant which can not successfully reproduce because it has an odd number of chromosomes which makes meiosis impossible and you get little deformed useless seeds like the little white seeds in a seedless watermelon.
Because of the extra set of genes polyploid plants can produce extra enzymes which leads to all chemical processes in the plant happening faster.
So yes a clone that naturally does that is probably polyploid but there's more to it than just that.

Took these tonight.

I pulled out the critical+ from inside the room to get better pictures.














Day 41 of 12/12.
