Hey guys, this is a granddaddy purple 3 weeks into 12/12 and I've never seen anything like this on top. From the midway section of the main stem on up, it looks like it created 2 main stems then rejoined and the stem isn't round but almost flat. Anybody have any experience with this? Like what is it, does it effect the budding, potency, ect... Thanks! (her sister right alongside is normal and shows none of this "weirdness"

Looks like a deer stepped on top of it LOL, I've never seen anything like that before.

I have precisely the same thing on a single flowering plant out of the nine I'm currently running. It's an F2 of my own Blueberry x Afghani #1 strain.

The only thing that's different from previous grows is that my temps are lower. ~58F light off, ~72F lights on.

I'm thinking it's just a one-off, but I am curious to know what your environment temperature is.

My temps range from 54 to 74 but like I said, the girl a foot away, same environment, same strain, same seed origin shows no characteristics like this one

Found the info. below in an article - TENTATIVE PLANT BIOLOGIST

What I gathered, fasciation can be genetic or environmentally induced. If I read it correctly, clones may continue the effect. Would be interesting to test that...


In plants without the gene, fasciation is caused by disturbance to the meristem at the time of growth. This disturbance can be caused by

  • Mites or insects feeding on the shoot
  • Fungal, bacterial and viral diseases
  • A sudden change in temperature – eg going from low to high or high to low (especially in Hyacinthus)
  • Zinc deficiency or nitrogen excess
  • Drought followed by heavy watering

Very interesting and thanks for the research. I didnt see any bug attack and I know there was no intense temp. fluctuation so I'm guessing this is just some random gene thing or some kinda disease or the like. I've also noticed that vertical stretch seems to have suddenly stopped in this plant so theres another peculiarity. I'm really wondering what kinda smoke is gonna come outta this thing. lol. Thanks again Rob
