Lost opposing nodes?

Had an emergency and had to scrap the indoor grow, so I put my best 2 outdoors, then took cuttings off them. While outdoors, they faced 100+ temps for 2 weeks, but were watered twice a day.

Now they appear to be facing what I would call "Genetic Degradation". What was once a top notch pineapple strain is now a scraggly POS. The cuttings rooted, but are extremely slow growing, thin branches, and zero opposing nodes.

Can the strong traits that made this strain attractive be restored, or did that go up in smoke with the heat?

Thanks!

Easy tiger, your nodes should begin to alternate instead of being opposite each other as the plant matures. Your cuttings are from a mature plant and as such your clones are mini adults and have the same node spacing. Fim and super crop to fatten her up, they prob stretching a bit after been moved outside.

Agree, stress will not change the genetics of the plant. Once the clones are healthy, they will resume their normal growth pattern. My friend had a panic once and yanked his whole room. His wife realized they had no clones, so they fished a plant out of the garbage and took some cuttings and saved their strain. Shit happens.
