Nice! Looking it up. Edit: Looks like it might be susceptible to botrytis because it's going to be so thick. I'm in! For science I want that bud to get huge and see what happens.The Mutation you see is called Fasciation.

I know, still a lot of talk about polyploidy but the only place cannabis has shown polyploidy is in a laboratory. It’s caused by applying the chemical Colchicine. It’s not passed on to offspring. Monsanto has Colchicine treated corn seed that they push. Farmers can’t make their own corn seed and have to buy it from Monsanto every year.
@ducknaldo looks like celery!
@Pennywise I don't think people are picking up that these are not polyploids
here's 2 trifoliates that i just found in seeds. 1 is from Red Lazerlite2 and the other is VitalityF3....
From skunkman on making polyploids...
“
First of all, triploids are not sterile, that is for sure. I have made many, all set seed.
Second did you confirm with a plant cytology lab that all the plant cells, roots, shoots and flowers were 100% tetraploid or triploid or whatever? You need to check all plant parts.
We found mixes of ploidy, Aneuploids, in many Tetraploids made from Diploids or with Tetraploids bred to Diploids to make Triploids. You need to have ploidy confirmed by a lab that tests all parts of the plant, roots stems, leaves, flowers.
I did find Triploids that seemed a little better as well as Triploids that seemed a little or a lot worse. To me it is not a magical path to quality, but it was fun to try.
The easy way to make Triploids is to make a Tetraploid of a great Diploid male and use the Tetraploid version to hit great female Diploid clones, all the resulting seed will be Triploid.
I have never tried to take female Tetraploid clones and STS'ed them to make pollen that could be used to make all female Triploids. Try it and let me know what happens, I don't want to do this but am curious what would happen.

Why do you say its trifoliate and not Polyploidy? There is polyploidy in all plant species. Its how they mutate and its part of the genetics. Even hoo-man can do it but rarely survivable.
hi @bobrown14 I'm aware of polyploids and their uses. All I am trying to say is a trifoliate plant or a fasciated plant is NOT necessarily a polyploid.
Polyploids are not visually identified by whorled phyllotaxy. You need to check it out with a microscope to identify.
I'm not particularly interested in this at all, I just repeatedly see people incorrectly saying that a fasciated plant or whorled plant is a polyploid.
It seems like the end game is to make a sterile weed line that doesn't produce seeds... like those mass produced crappy seedless melons. Not something i want anything to do with.
Are you working with polyploid cannabis right now? How did you identify it?
If those 2 trifoliates I have are male/female... then I plan am breeding them. It's just an aesthetic thing, I don't think it has any positive or negative effect on growth or yield. As far as fasciation, i think it's a negative trait to be culled.
