Is this a mutant of some sort? It appears to be very healthy so much so that it took me this long to realize there were no fan leaves with more than three blades. A couple two blades even. The plant is frosty af tho so I’m not mad but it is definitely a curious sight and something I haven’t experienced during my short growing career.
The strain is an Auto by Mephisto Genetics called Forum Stomper. 2 blade leaves on bud sited weird af.
Both these plants are a good 80 days old despite being autos with an advertised FINISH time of 70 days from seedling to harvest. They are on 19.5/4.5 right now as I dial back 30 minutes a week for the last couple weeks till we end up at 18/6 before 48 hours of dark. Don’t ask me why. I’m simulating shortening of days or something. Makes sense to me lol.
Could be a ruderalis trait showing itself as dominant. That’s what I’m leaning towards but I feel like that would decrease potency. That being said it’s significantly more frosted than it’s sister and I would think dominant ruderalis genes would decrease potency based on what the internet claims about them. This is from Mephisto and I’ve heard great things about their genetics so idk. Long as it don’t grow balls or start throwing nanners I’m gonna embrace it’s uniqueness.
I’ve had that happen when a plant is re-vegging for sure. But actually the Sour D xLemon Skunk that I was running last year did that outdoors when it was flowering too. She wasn’t extremely stressed so I’m not quite sure what the reason was but at one point she was only putting out single blade fan leaves. But she continued to progress and flower so🤷♂️
Just to be sure, you don’t have any major light leaks that would cause it to reveg? If you’re growing in a tent I’d recommend going inside zipping it up and turning off the lights inside while leaving lights outside the tent on and sit there for maybe 5 mins til your eyes are better adjusted and make sure there’s no leaks. Just my 2 cents though. Otherwise, I’ve gotta do some more reading cause I’m not sure what causes that if it’s not re-vegging or really stressed
Did some quick searching and only info I can find that isn’t about reveg says that issue is strictly related to stress. Light, temp, humidity, nutes, water, that kind of thing. I didn’t think my Sour D x Lemon Skunk was stressed and it continued this up until the end of its life starting maybe 1/3 of the way into flower, but I suppose I could have been letting it dry out a bit much between watering🤷♂️
One of my reveg did this and my Texada Timewarp cutting outside was mainly a three leafer too.I thought I was thr only one getting some wierd shit.I feel better now lol
This plant is definitely in flower and not veg. Definitely not a light leak im using an AC Infinity tent, and it’s not a lack of light because I have about 43 watts per square foot
This plant is in DWC so it’s not a watering issue. Gotta be genetic. But this plant should have been finished two weeks ago. It’s still got a good thirty days left.
