Plant Mutation

Have not posted for a while now but i ran into this mutation and have searched online and can not find anything on it. I am considering Running it with a male if the mutation is unique and i could carry it down in lineage. You can tell that its a genetic mutation since it occured while the plant was working on its 2nd set of true leaves, on one of the leaves the fingers are all curly and warped while on the other side where their should be another leaf it grew two Single finger leaves on that node instead and they are quite distorted also. Basically the plant has grown 3 tops/Colas, which had occured while the plant was producing that second set of true leaves. The reason i would breed and keep the mutation if it would stay in the lineage is because you would not need to top or fim yourself which would cut stress induced and be a noob friendly plant but it will also be perfect for LST and will most likely out yield other plants given the same grow condition because of this mutation advantage,

Sorry for pic quality i have a older phone,

There would be no benefit in judging a plants mutation at this point. Mutations are like wild cards and can happen anytime , no matter what. Latent genetic combinations can occur in the same strain ... I have grown 4 kushes with variant outcomes .. One was bushy , one had irregular growth , other two were ok. To me .... Breeding is where you want the BEST CHARACTERISTICS between mom and dad plants .... Looking for characteristics like strong stems , healthy thick stalks , structure , flowers and much more.

I grew 3 fingered plants , Bi-Colored leaves , Thin branching , etc. and they were nothing special or different. With careful topping , u could increase the cola production much more than what an unknown mutation may or may not bring.

My 2¢ ...peace

Thanks for the insight man, I have not had any real expierence with breeding, have expierence in cultivating and some knowledge in genetic engineering, their would be a way to consolidate that specific mutation through long lab trial runs and error, probably not worth it, i have grown tri-leaf plants before also, i forgot what strain had kept giving me tri-leafs but its a common mutation so i gave up on that,
