the title says it all blokes

i have a single bf Pineapplechunk mixed in with my a.indicas :weed: (all at around 5 weeks old now)and it has additional leaf blades protruding from the top of the base of the fan leaf. some have 3 extras and some have 4. isn't that a 33% boost in light intake surface area? lol
im not going to get my hopes up for some gigantomutant, but i am going to grow out some clippings and see if i can get some with and without the mutation so I can compare yield.

my thoughts are that it is a natural genetic abnormality or a product of whatever the hell the dutch do when they grow out hundreds of these plants at a time

:idea: did use an extremely weak solution of IBA with the perlite last grow(I rinsed it and recycled it) and i dont think that my initial ppms where above 200
but i havent seen anything strange yet in any of the four aurora indicas

i will post pictures when i can snag a camera

(vegging 20-4 as close as permisableto 6 26w 6500k cfls with trips back and forth to the flowerbox with 2 150w hps's) growing in inoculated certified organic soil mixed with compost perlite vermiculite peatmoss dolomitic lime and sand

sounds really intresting. my money is on some sort of genetic mutation, maybe due to mass production or the feminizing of seeds, anyones guess could be it. i actually like these mutations. i think it makes the plant unique and like you said more surface area for light.
