Actually the males bring structure to the mix.

No more so than a female pollen-donor. And making structure selections in males to pass on to females is inherently more difficult because males grow differently and with different structure than females. You really can’t make a decision until you test a male’s progeny. (This is still true for crosses with female pollen-donors, but in that case the parent more directly expresses the traits for which you are selecting.)

No. Not Lavender. Sorry I missed this post 5 days ago but it’s funny I read it just now. I was looking for the plant I was talking about on my drive home from work. The foliage looks extremely similar on both the pot and this plant. It comes up early in the year, around now, and before the flower opens when just the Tips of the purple flower petals are coming out of the bud it looks a bit like a mini pineapple with purple leaves. I could put that freak plant in my garden with the one I’m thinking of and no one would ever notice it, at least when it’s Young.

Great match! Since I’ve been keeping a lookout, I’ve seen all sorts of different plants that look like this freak Show plant. I can see a future for in the landscape business. Edible Landscaping lol.

Apparently the guy who made the freakshow calls himself shapeshifter…has been breeding mutants and dysfunctional plants for 30 years or something.

Straight up! Wish I had more space, but, it is what it is. All we need is a few hundred/thousand seeds to spread around…cant wait to see you guys give these plants a go in large pots, hydro and outdoors!!!
11 confirmed females, 6 confirmed males…nice ratio!!! I’m just going to let these seed naturally.

Do they breed true I wonder? Notice any growing quirks? Grow like normal plants?

Some of them grew 2 or 3 main tops without any training or topping.
Some of them grew into a menorah type shape…top stops growing vertically…lowest branches stretch and it looks just like this 
.
Some straight up look like bonsai trees.
Lights on…I’ll get some pics going.

Those bonsai were naturally like that? No training?

The only thing I’ve done to any of them, is trim the lowers before flip.
The twin towers (female)…lol.
No topping or training, but two (2) tops.

The third tower (female)!!! If you go back in the thread, this is the one where the top just stopped “to take a piss” I’m pretty sure I said. No topping or training.

Another double (male)…

And then there’s this thing (female)…wasn’t sure how to take the picture so you can see how freaky it is…like a fuckin skeleton leaf
