Is this the beginning of fasciation or just a cola that broke dominance?

Hey guys. I have an apparent Nepalese landrace here at day 33ish and one of the growth tips seems to have broken dominance and is splitting into two equal tips, with a fattened area of stem. Looks like the start of fasciation to me, but I'm not sure..

What do you guys think?

Suspected fasciation or just an odd way of breaking dominance? Just looks like it topped itself, but in reality it's just an node that started alternating, but both gained dominance by the looks. Doesn't have the flat or joined stem I'd expect from fasciation..

Figured it out. Branch has gone triplet. Just realised there's is three fans and flower sites coming out of each node. Started off normal, but when it started alternating during pre flower it's popping three per node on that one branch.

Top three or four nodes on that branch all have triplets. The opposing branch is also unusually vigorous, but not producing structural anomalies.

Was trying to figure out why there was so much leaf coming from the dual head. Not only has it sprung two dominant heads off the one cola, its also popping triplets off each node of each of them. I couldn't make out where the fan leaves were coming from until I checked the nodes underneath.
