I have a plant with three leaves at each node instead of two. I would like to capture this trait and develop a new strain of weed. Is it possible, worth doing, opinions please.

i have one growing from seed that is in flower at the moment. it stopped getting three leaves after about the 12th node.

Do either of you have pics, I'd love to see it. FDD, does it effect speed of growth, by it having more leaves per node?

Just saw a grow journal on another site...a guy had a seed that produced two sprouts.

He sperated them and grew them out. Final yield was 180g on one and 185g dryweight on the other.

Not bad for one seed indoors.

He said he was gonna leave em together....but one was doing well and other looked like it was lagging behind.

So he seperated and nursed the sickly one up to speed.

If left together one would muscle out the other or both may die or stunt with tangled roots.

i've got some pix, i'll have to upload them.

the mutation is called alternating whorled phitolaxy (sp?) and results in an extra node. they usually grow out of it, i've been waiting for one that stays true for breeding. plants of this mutation have a tendency to yeild more, as the often have more branches and nodes than that of a standard plant.

• My plant has three internodes and shoots instead of two.
Trifoliates or triploids are common to cannabis as a plant species. They possess three sets of chromosomes instead of the usual two. Approx. 2% of the population in Mandala strains exhibit this trait. So for every 100 seeds there are max. 2 plants. About 60% of trifoliates turn out to be males. From the females you have 20% with a higher yield than normal (due to the extra node and vigour), 20% are just under average, and the rest are normal performers.

i'm not positive, but i don't think that these are triploids; triploids fall under the polyploid mutation which usually won't manifest itself physically.

lj, if you have time, see what you can find on alternating whorled philotaxy (spelling is probably wrong, but this should be what you're looking for)

ok... i remember that name (whorled philotaxy that is) and actually thats what i thought was on the mandala site... but it was the triploid thing... but it still seemed relevant...

i'll be back with some more copy and paste for ya'll in a bit!


EDIT: btw, the spelling is "alternating whorled phyllotaxy" i just found out
