Oki Doki, some pics.
here are my thoughts. I have one plant that is the clear winner in initial vigour, twice the size of the rest. i'd put my bottom dollar he's a male, that's how it works it seems. There also seems to be a huge amount of variation, which is awesome.
I have the one that is growing at twice the pace so far
I have one with 3 false leaves instead of 2
I have three of 9 that have three leaf nodes
one has fairly crinkly leaves from the start.
some have almost no leaf serration, while others do
one has almost round short leaves on its second node.
I don't think any of these are bad traits, they seem to be healthy and growing fine, just some variation right off the bat.

pic 5- another 3 lead node
pic 6- short fat round leafs

Its great to see the lil ones Jact. It makes me feel like a proud parent. This line does produce some oddities. Ive experienced the trifoliate plants quite often with these seeds. Easily 10-15% are like this IME. The good thing is they often grow out of it within a few weeks. You may even see a plant that never develops its growing point. Just cotyledons, or a first set of leaves, and then nothing continues growing. Those ones are rare. Id say 3-4% of plants may be like that. With so many oddities, thats why there were 15 seeds.

Yours look nice and healthy, and that they're in good hands. I can't wait to see how they develop under your care. No pressure.

Ya, im pretty sure i got one of the single node then nothing else plants. The others are shooting up, and nothing but the first set of leaves for one. Seen this many times in the past.
I am thrilled with oddities and variation. I respect uniformity, but prefer a range in my garden. It shows a good landrace type also. Survival of the plant is based on variation within the strain.

Well, they're growing. I had to toss one, it got its first set of leaves, then no further growth. down to 8 healthy plants that'll make it the long haul. One is compact as can be, like 3 nodes and 1 or 2 inches tall. one really stands out, it had a big ass leaf basically become its top node, with the actual next node poking out to the side, with another node squeezing in-between. I'm really curious of the net result of this plant. its super vigorous, I think the second biggest, just stacking up to be an interesting plant. First pic is it, the camera cannot capture what is actually going on. The rest are all growing at a great pace. they will be transplanted into the final pots in a week or less. I've decided on 2 gallons for these plants. stem rubs on their infant tiny stems actually produces a sweet smell. a good sign, so early on. It is warming up quick here, I fear I will have to take em from the HPS tent to a LED tent soon.
not much to update, but an update none the less.

They're looking great Jact. You've really gotten them off to an excellent start. That one odd ball you've got could get even weirder. Ive got a DP in my garden that started off trifoliate, then it developed two main shoots, with one main shoot developing 8 leaves per node. The other shoot with only 2 leaves/node has blown it by in terms of growth. It turns out having 8 leaves per node isn't exactly ideal.

quick update- they are all doing well. I have 3 females and 5 males. one has just as many nodes but is still like 3 or 4 inches tall, wish it was a female, to see it grow into a tiny compact bud, but male he is. the one that had the giant leaf top node is still odd, but seems to be growing past that, he is male also. I have 2 females that are the lankier/dainty with thinner leaf pheno, and one female that is more stout with wider leaves. another week or two I will put them in flower.

They're looking great, jact! That female on the left, especially. Are you open pollinating, or doing some selection this round?

Did you put them to flower or are you seeing pre-flowers that small? Mine took forever to show even after switching to 12/12.

Those plants are looking great Jact. Short and compact. Just how I like em.
