violator kush WTF...

have a violator kush seedling with three cotyledons and three serated leaves? anyone else have this prob? or is it a bad seed.

I did a quick google search and it appears to be a somewhat rare mutation. A triploids.
Some people say it will veg quicker some people say it wont do as well as others. You could try to grow it out and see what your results are. Id get a few clone in case it does well.

(Please note i am a beginner and i got my info from google sorry if its incorrect)

I just sprouted a Feminized G13 Labs White Russian Auto with 3 leaves. Very interesting indeed. I did some research and found...

Trifoliates or triploids are common to cannabis as a plant species. They possess three sets of chromosomes instead of the usual two. Approx. 2% of the population in Mandala strains exhibit this trait. So for every 100 seeds there are max. 2 plants. About 60% of trifoliates turn out to be males. From the females you have 20% with a higher yield than normal (due to the extra node and vigour), 20% are just under average, and the rest are normal performers.

Pulled this out of a thread on another forum. Link to it here: http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-marijuana-growing/757028-unusual-seedling-3-cotyledons-3-initial-leaves.html

its a triploid

one of 4 things can happen

1. the mutation stops after 3-4th node and normal growth continues
2. the mutation continues and you get 33% more plant matter (happened to me with GHSC kalishnikova, i was very pleased)
3. stunted growth of the plant
4. the plant dies (i dont know why it would die.. but death is always a option..lol)

One of the cotyleons died off but its developing its second set of true leaves and there's 3 I'd them too I hope I get 33% more

The condition you see is an abnormality of leaf presentation called whorled phyllotaxy. If you break down that name you will understand it's meaning. Phyllotaxy is the classification of the arrangement of leaves along a plant's stems. Cannabis plants when young usually have opposite phyllotaxy, so having three leaves at each node is a variation (the whorl) on the normal phyllotaxy.

The condition will usually grow out by maturity, when the leaves go from opposite to alternate phyllotaxy. On some occasions, it will continue into maturity or continue on only s single branch.

Makes for an interesting plant but it shouldn't affect growth, nor yield.
