Triploid seedling? - Cannabis Growing Questions - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Tynehead Tom · 03-12-2016, 08:12 PM

so I picked up some seeds just recently , beanhoarder sweet tooth3 F2. One of the seedlings is a freak and has come up with 3 seed pod leaves instead of the usual 2.

is this a triploid? and if so, what can anyone tell me about such plants. I've only seen this once before, and come to think about it, the plant was also a sweet tooth seedling, but from the original sweet tooth release back in the late 90's

I'm trying to get some decent pics. the first set of leaves are just starting to form in the center of the sprout and I can definitely see, with a magnifying glass, 3 new leaves forming.

comments? thoughts? some please educate me LOL

Probably nothing to call home about. Mutations are fairly common within blueberry or other inbred lines I think. Hopefully it turns into a nice plant for you

Here's a plant I had recently

Triploid... No.
That term is related to genetic recombos and those plants are more rare than rainbow unicorn poop.

The correct term is whirled (whorled) phalotaxy. Whirled phalotaxy is actually fairly common in cannabis.
Photo above is a perfect example.

This Auto Lemon Skunk has three of the little round leaves but the larger serrated leaves all came in normally.

MJ Passion is correct. That is called Whorled Phyllotaxy. It is sometimes called a trifoliate, which I think some some folks mix up with triploid.

I've never had a female with whorled phyllotaxy, they have all been males and they all grew out of it. Females do occur, and I've seen some that didn't grow out of it and retained the trait through flowering. But they don't yield any better than a regular plant. Interesting, but nothing special.

Here’s a small whorled girl I flowered out. Three bud sites at each node. A lot of times they revert back to normal structure and most of the ones I’ve grown turned out to be males.
