Weird Growth...?

[TheBudFather]

I wasn't sure where to post this...hopefully someone has an idea of what is happening..

This branch is growing from the bottom of the plant. The plant is around 3,1/2ft tall.
The branch is about 3 or 4 branches thick, but only 1 branch wide (almost totally flat, but wide as hell). and the head of the plant seems to be going crazzzy! (someone said it looks like a sunflower)
The plant has almost finished its second week flower.... you can see the smaller normal buds forming around in the photos, but the mutant head is a pure beast...
Im just hoping this isn't a possible budrott situation....
Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks tbf

wow TheBudFather looks like you have a polyploid on your hands there was a grow a few months back on a nycd polyploid......

it dosent mean your plants are sick they just have an extra set chromosones....i found something on wiki...

Polyploidy occurs in cells and organisms when there are more than two paired (homologous) sets of chromosomes.


Known paleopolyploidy in eukaryotesMost organisms are normally diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes — one set inherited from each parent. Polyploidy may occur due to abnormal cell division during metaphase I in meiosis. It is most commonly found in plants. (Haploidy may also occur as a normal stage in an organism's life. A haploid has only one set of chromosomes.)

Polyploidy also occurs normally in some animal tissues, such as human muscle tissues.[2]

The occurrence of polyploidy is a mechanism of speciation and is known to have resulted in new species of the plant Salsify (also known as "goatsbeard").


Speciation via polyploidy: A diploid cell undergoes failed meiosis, producing diploid gametes, which self-fertilize to produce a tetraploid zygote.Polyploidy can be induced in cell culture by some chemicals: the best known is colchicine, which can result in chromosome doubling, though its use may have other less obvious consequences as well. Oryzalin also will double the existing chromosome content.



hope this helps...

i had a soma nycd plant with a flat stem like yours a few years ago, im not sure but i think maybe it was a polyploid plant, but im not sure at all.

Branches sometimes turn polyploid, aka tricotyledon instead of dicotyledon

hey vince, i see i was not the only one who had a polyploid nycd. im happy i was right on my suposition.

Heres some new better pics of the Chocolope....

[vince514]

sometimes the the polyploidy traits aren't designated for one area on the plant it depends where it effects the plants dna helix axis and divides the cells, the genome .......keep it up and post some more pics as you go along...

Guys, sorry to pop your polyploid bubble, that's a good example of what's called a crested or clubbed form , a common mutation on many plants. You'll get a nice spiral of small buds before the head terminates at the 'crest'. Usually the stem will be flattened also. Is that the case? Mine was good smoke. Best of luck for yours.

lol nice 1 Frosy!

Clubbed Chocolope update!

Clubbed Chocolope update!

heres a cpl pics of how my clubbed chocolope is doing!

 

[vince514]

nice pics man..seems to be designated to just that part of the plant everything else has normal growth.......im without a doubt it will be good smoke

 

[TheBudFather]

update...

update...

Thought id take a cpl pics tonight...
lol to be fair there almost the same as the last lot....

 

[TheBudFather]

update!!!

update!!!

2 1/2 weeks left.... shes becoming a monster..
She reminds me of 'Stripe' the leader of the bad Gremlins....
Shas started to Foxtail from the sides also... oh yeh baby!
My pics are not perfect.... but ill try and take good pics towards harvest!!! thanks... tbf

last 2 pics....

 

[vince514]

thanks for updating TBF .... she's getting fat, if she keeps foxtailing she'll grow what looks like 2 horns growin from the sides ........your lucky , its not everday you see something like that ...........

keep on updating........

lol Thanks Vince.... yeh shes looking pretty mental at the min... ill just keep on feedin, see what she does over the next 2 weeks!!!

 

[cork144]

whoaa she looks awsome, is she untrained? if so thats some bushy growth there

She has been topped about 4 times... i also took about 40 clones off her 10 or so weeks ago!....

That shit looks well funky. What's the condition that plants got again? Guna be a nice bud that is LOL! Frankenbud! The rest of the room looks lush too!

Keep up the good work!

Peace.
