Tri-noded plants happen sometimes. Unfortunately they often have the flat stem genetic problem too. The stem becomes flat, and stops elongating, but keeps growing... all out of the same point.

The branches who don't turn flat stemmed: will look AMAZING and be HUGE.

The flat stem branches should be removed immediately, because they won't produce much of anything of what you're looking for, but make a really interesting oddity.

Before you could buy seed..lol, I grew tons of bag seed and have seen this many times,we used to call them tri-foils. I never noticed any advantage or disadvantage from the mutation. But we grew alot of plants outdoors and didnt pay much attention to plant growth patterns,only to killing males and toting water..lol.

my autoflowering cross i just made has shown this tendency, i got 5 triple leafs out of around 30 seeds, its weird and the parent autoflower had this trait. i think it helps them grow strong as a seedling.

Skip to 1:24 and you can see 2 new seedlings with "whorled phyllotaxy" and i got another 2.

also like to note, of the seedstock i have that made ALOT of seedlings with this trait, they tend to take a long time to germinate and when they do they have a harder time popping off the seed casing because they are stuff with the 3 coty's. i thought they were bunk seeds when a few of my earlier seedlings couldn't even get their heads out of their hats, peeled the seedcasing off and bam, super strong vigorous growth explosion hyperbole.

Hey that is pretty cool man, I hope that it turns out really good for you.

I have had one plant do this and so far it is fine. Im waiting to see though if it has any problems.
