Iām pullin for that lil retard! So special...
I wouldnāt worry about it. Does it have new growth coming in?
Re watering-Should be able to tell by lifting the cup and feeling the weight wet vs dry. A little bit of liquid kelp and alfalfa tea goes a long way. Triaconatol is a fatty acid growth hormone found in Alfalfa that really helps young plants. I just did a lil search for Alfalfa Tea and this thread came up. Has some decent info...
Back to the trifoliate, I would just let it try to grow out of the mutation so hopefully in no time itāll catch up (or possibly grow past) itās siblings.
Not sure how true this is, but in the past I had heard slower and shorter plants are more likely to have higher medicinal properties...thatās why I never toss a plant until Iāve been sure to flower it through first. Also, another thing Iāve heard is that males are usually taller and more vigorous so that when they flower out their pollen sacks are above the females so when wind blows the pollen and gravity pulls it down...theyāre then able to pollenate the shorter females easier. Makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint bc a very short male obviously wouldnāt be as likely to pollenate a female thatās towering over it.
