So this is a first for me. Not that Ive got 20 yrs of growing under my belt but Ive seen one or two plants in my life, and Ive never seen a bud on a leaf. Has anyone else ever seen one?

I have actually had one of the plants in my last grow develop such a thing. I was growing White Widow at the time and only one out of my 20 plants had one of these, exactly as your picture shows. On that particular grow I didn't look after the P.H. of the soil and water. I just left the P.H. to chance which kind of stressed out the plants and caused them to develop more slowly than they should of and actually develop a few hermies in my crop too. So maybe you are doing or have done something that stressed out the plant enough to get so confused as to develop such a hybrid.

I can only remember it happening once. I purchased some beans from cBay, when it was up and running of course, from a basement/garage breeder that had some great genetics and great imagination. He used several plants in a number of his crosses, normally something was crossed with G13 or Rosetta Stone or White Russian, sometimes crosses among them were made. I believe it might have been a G13 X White Russian cross but late in flower I had two small buds that began to form on two leaves.

At the time I assumed that it was some seldom seen genetic trait of one of the strains that were crossed to eventually end up the cross I grew, meaning it could be a very seldom trait from any one of a number of famous past strains.

Later thinking about it I had to wonder what the possibility is that something else caused it. Something like some small amount of insect nibbling or a slightly cracked/broken leaf/stem connection from say watering or adjusting of plants, and if it might possibly have a reaction like topping, stimulating a hormone telling the plant to create another budsite there.

I tend to think it is a deep genetic trait that seldom is seen but if charted accurately would likely trace back to one or two strains, if two both of them likely of the same general type and likely from a very similar region as the other, if not from the same region as the other. But I do have to wonder if there is any validity to the other wonderment?

Thanks for all the replies fellas.
I think it mighyt be a stress thing cause this is my first grow in this setup and I dont have many under my belt at all. These plants had stem rot, nute burn, and I wasnt checking ppm at first then later found out I was running 1850ppm [or ec-3.7] oops.

Cannabis Chinensis is a type that grows in China and has a very interesting characteristic of sometimes making an extra budlet on the stem of the large fan leafs. So i would say whatever "strain" your growing is most def showing it has some DNA in common. Just like Indica, Sativa and Ruderalis all having distinguishing traits The Cannabis Chinensis grows wide and stout and yea, sometimes includes a bonus!
