Got a Mutation but Is it Bad?

So here's this mutie plant, at least thats what im calling it. single blade leaf sets, im guessing thats not normal. but besides the fucked up leaves the growth is excellent compared to my other plants. was thinking of maybe trying to breed for this trait since it doesnt seem to have a negative effect on vigor, but looks like it would be great for high density planting.

what do you guys think?

really? had no idea that would do that. just weird that the other plants that were growing in the same box didnt end up like this. maybe a hole in the box let light shine on this plant only

Happens no big deal, did you get the seeds from a guy who lives next to the nuke plant in Japan?

Mutation can happen in a number of ways. Generally mutation happens during cell division. There are two types of cell division. Mitosis and Meiosis. In Mitosis, the cells duplicate themselves, giving the new cell the same number of chromosomes. In Meiosis, the chromosomes are halved into two cells. Later those cells can combine with other cells that were divided by half, but may have different parts of the gene in the chromosomes forming a new cell with different genes. This is the common way for genetic diversity. There are times when the cells don't divide properly and one may have more chromosomes than another. Then when fused with another cell, it is off balance and may make a sterile plant, sometimes though this sterile plant can make that same flaw again and the chromosomes then can match up and become sterile to form another generation.

I know you can use cytokinins to produce cell division, which can increase your odds. You can use fresh coconut milk because it has a lot of cytokinins. This is also used in plant propagation, especially when doing tissue culture.

In my experience mutations generally affect the yield , and the plants do not look that healthy but the bud was great so....If you can find better pussy somewhere else...... FUCKIT!!!!!!

Mutations may not provide much but it still weed if it doesn't give ya a gram!!! It's just acording to ya wanna feed it or not...sometimes a runt I push back in the corner and just feed it but not especially care for it, turns out some good stuff....

hah, its not a mutation, plants just do that when they hit a good source of nutrients or find a good sunny spot. it means theyre trying to grow fast. shwag genetics do it allllllllllll the time. mines been doing it non stop for months after looking normal with 5 leaf sets. it just looks lazy to me.

does look cool, it just gets annoying having your weed plant not look like a weed plant :P i have yet to actually spring for genetics, so i practice on the schwaggggg
