Terminal leaf at top of plant where main stem should be?

Seedling about two weeks old. Transplanted to final container a few days ago. Looks like it grew a weird apical, terminal leaf where the main stem should be. Seems to have “self-topped” and is now focusing growth on two side branches.

It’s a Tropicanna Cookies from Linda Seeds. Just something inexpensive I popped after some germination issues with some Sannies Jack.

Anyone experience this before? Should I keep it going or pull it?

Top it and let the secondaries grow. 🪙🪙

Let it ride.

Yep I’m with @Foreigner, let it grow to at least 4 nodes before topping.

It almost looks like it was topped and the leaf was glued on. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
These plants like to get freaky sometimes!
Let it be.
