it happens in all known plants. is not even a mutation but a "mistake" in the expression pattern of some genes. the plant will be exactly like the others after the 2nd set of true leaves, and it doesnt affect plant growth in any way.
The seed came from one of my White Widows that hermied in the 7th week of flowering. I assume since that plant was from a feminized seed that the seeds she produced would also be fems. Time will tell.
Just an update after 4 weeks of growth. The three leafed plant (since named Kali) is growing like any other plant. The three leaf growth didn't stop after the second set of leaves but thankfully it is thriving like the others.

Another thing I noticed on this three leafed plant, a crooked stem. At day 30 she's the same height as her sisters but it looks like she takes a longer route.
Flork said it,its a triploid just like seedless watermelons.
Whorled structure is a good thing.If it follows Fibonacci sequence keep them if you look down on the plant and it is whorled its heirloom,
Most ,these days rotate 90 degrees instead of 222
