Fasciation. Cull it or clip off the ribbon stem and sometimes the lowers aren’t affected. If the entire plant is showing fasciation, best just cull it.
They’re never worth keeping. You’ll get crap yields of odd misshapen bud like structures.
Eventually it will start throwing out some normal side branches but the main lead will still remain a mutant. I suggest you clone the normal branches and toss the main stock.
The main stem seems fine, and that ribbon is just coming off the side. I’ll cut it and see how things grow out. Thanks for the info. Fasciation. Interesting.
Yep usually it’s just an odd branch rather than a whole plant. It can happen for any number of reasons, even in perfect conditions. Usually happens to me if it’s a seed plant I crushed or bent a stem on. Some non Cannabis plants with fasciation are purposefully grown that way for ornamental purposes, but for buds you wanna smoke at some point it’s no good lol.
Yeah. I pulled it from my room and stuck it in a window. That branch is stacked with leaves. Might cut the normal branch and root it, but I’ve got others going too.
Good plan. It isn’t necessarily a genetic defect, sometimes just happens for no identifiable reason. Like cancer or a tumor. Might still be a perfectly good plant if you cut and root a normal stem.
but that’s just my 2 cents.
