My vision isn't what it used to be (and I was the only kid in my first grade class who had to wear eyeglasses, lol, so...). Is that the result of a "FIM" operation, or have you got yourself an example of whorled phyllotaxy?
Well it's from seed so most likely whorled phyllotax as you called it. Its first set of leaves were also kind of connected / deformed . So I guess it will look cool but not necessarily a good plant. Also this came in a pack of 5 seeds where 3 others have been perfect plants.
