Came across this thread with a similar issue regarding a wierd seedling. A couple seedlings that popped only have two leaves. I am curious if they're runts or if they will prosper.

okay, theory is these 3 leafed cotyledons do not produce more yeild. with this finally shooting away, I note it produces 3 nodes also, instead of the two. wouldn't this, in theory mean more yeild?

Bzzzt. WRONG! Go take a botany class at your local Jr college......Didn't bother to google trifoliate, did we? :wall:

Trifoliate leaves (also known as trifoliolate or ternate leaves) are a leaf shape characterized by a leaf divided into three leaflets.

Cannabis is not a trifoaliate plant OR in the family of any trifoliate......

Didn't bother to google whorled phyllotaxy either......Did we? :wall:

In botany, phyllotaxis or phyllotaxy is the arrangement of leaves on a plantstem (from Ancient Greekphýllon "leaf" and táxis "arrangement").
The basic arrangements of leaves on a stem are opposite, or alternate = spiral. Leaves may also be whorled if several leaves arise, or appear to arise, from the same level (at the same node) on a stem.


The quotes are from Wiki........

BTW, It's "4 Leaf clover" not "Leaved"...... Now you got an English lesson for the price of a Botany lesson too.

I know this is a past post but i would like to add my observation of seed formation and germination to the record in regards to the three leafed cotyledon seedlings-

This is a mutation caused by imperfect pollination and seed formation. The three cotyledons had developed before germination. The mutation was caused by stress on the bud the seed came from. There is no trait as perfect conditions cause the DNA to produce no further mutated growth. Growers that report to breed this trait do so through high stress training or are just shit growers.

I see higher ratio of three leafed cotyledons and subsequent growth from seed of plants that received stress at the pollination and seed formation point. Observations made through over 500 germinations from different plants and the ratio of three leafed plants from different bud quality :-)

Rarely should you 'help' a plant as you did, and often removing the seed can damage or kill it, but not always. Just don't do that again.

A triploid is a thing of beauty, and occur only about one in ten thousand seeds (I was told by a botanist)
I've grown only own and didn't breed her because I killed her. It was one of my first grows and I knew nothing. I had dreamed of breeding her, imagining a strain that produces 50% more bud than average. If it truly happens only once every 10k, I'll never see another one. Hope yours makes it, friend!

Googled this because I made my own autos with some dinafem sour d. Two have 3 cotyledons. :)
