The Retarded or Sculpted Plant Game

I just germed my 5 freebies from attitude all from greenhouse seeds for my next roudn and I threw two outside.

The Kalashnikova cracked with twin seedlings but I killed one.
The Emerald Jack is a triplpoid at all nodes.
The Graperuit krush has fused fan leaves at the top as shown in the thread earlier.

SHOULD I TOP THIS ONE as no new shoots are forming and the only chance ti has is if between the first true leaves and second set (which is the mutated set) I get shoots that arise. It's outdoors and only really has another two weeks of veg so any help would be wonderful...Also, no pics right now cause my camera is broke.

Can't see it very well...

Just leave the leaf, in my opinion.
Removing it's top leaf is just like removing large fan leaves, it will slow growth down a lot as the plant recovers.
The branches should naturally climb to the canopy and carry on their life.
If the Grapefruit only has 2 branches, I would do some topping on those to "round" it off into more of a bush, instead of a giant leaning V.
Just my $0.02

The problem is it's only a few inches and the branches are just starting and it will convert to flowering soon

Is it outdoors? Well you're basically boned, but there are fixes.
You could take it inside, and veg it under some CFL's for another few weeks, unless you live in a harsh climate.
Or you could add supplemental lighting, like an incandescent light, or a cfl light above the plants during the night to keep them vegging. The light wouldn't even have to be close, as long as they're recieving more than a few lumens, they'll remain in veg.

If you add lights to your plants outdoors... be ready to fight off bugs and other pests like you wouldn't believe.

Yea but moths don't eat plants do they?
And the lights would only be there for veg, so they wouldn't swarm the flowers or anything.
In my opinion I would just let the bugs do their thang, after all it's just nature.

I have a plant right now that has single leaf sets,three,five, and seven as well all up and down the plant.quite odd, as well is the stem is starting to grow bark, it was orginally a "bud on a stick" indica, loaded with trichomes. after we harvested the main cola, we left the rest of it alone. it actually started to go back to vegging while still under 12/12, so we kicked it back to 24/0. it basically looks loke a bonsai tree, and its roughly 9 months old, we just took cuttings from her and shes doing beautifully.

That's all in the due process of Re-Vegging.

Maybe we can take this somewhere else? Without being an ass, this isn't the thread for this all, and i'd rather we stay on topic.

That's why I posted the link to the proper thread for him. His post was on-topic, he was enlightening us on his retarded plant, which wasn't retarded.
To him it was worthy of this thread, but he's since been redirected..

Anyways, free bump.

lol, thank you sir!

C indica thanks and rep! Not possible to add light outdoors cause it's guerilla. I'll just hope for the best I'm going to post a bid of it tomorrow when I go to water. I haven't seen it in over a week so hopefully so
Something grew

You shouldn't visit geurilla spots so often, but send me a link to your thread or something so I can follow it's growth, I'd love to be along.
You'll just have to let nature take it's course.

I came across something in my outdoor garden that I thought was worthy of resurrecting the Retarded Plant thread.



A self braiding root!




I laughed when I saw it. A true WTF moment.

Those are such fat roots, beautiful gardening.
How did you get the roots to stay so healthy and aboveground?
That is literally beautiful, like the art of bonsai.
Excellent shot as well, must be a photographer?

I just came across this thread while about to post another and thought I'd share my current weirdo plant. Its Dutch Passion Blueberry. As you can see its not too bad for a reject. I've had worse. But at the 4th node it did this. Tri branching but with 2 flowing sites coming out of one of the 3 fan leaves. It wasn't even like my past trilateral branching plants. Two grew opposite and one just filled one side. Up the rest of the plant was normal tri branching if you can call that normal. Then finally at the 8th node it just split entirely into 3 tops like I had topped it of something. Any ways a weird plant indeed. I just hope it doesn't effect the yield too much because I cloned the crap out of her and I am hoping for the best.

This was just random chance.

Most of my outdoor plants are in large beds. And when I transplant I bury them pretty deep (up high on the stalk).

This plant was one of two that I put in a 45 gallon smart pot. I didn't put the plant in very deep when I transplanted and it was high in the middle. Dirt kept washing away exposing the roots as it grew. I really didn't even notice it till last week.

And to answer your other question....no I am not a photographer. I just like taking pictures. Plus it helps to have a nice camera and take lots of pictures. Digital film is cheap!

Glad you enjoyed

[h=2]Let's restart this thread, anyone got anything new to add? Anyone have any strange mutations in their plants? Also, some mutation information. Mutated leaf patterns seen in cannabis[/h] The incredible variation in cannabis morphology throughout the world has led to some very unusual leaf patterns occasionally occurring. Many of these traits are seen as highly desirable due to their visual dissimilarity to “normal” cannabis, as they can serve to disguise a crop from the unwelcome attention of law enforcement in areas where cultivation is illegal. [h=3]Webbed leaves[/h] Webbed leaves are a common mutation, and one which various breeders have attempted to stabilise. Such efforts have unfortunately not prevailed to the point where webbed varieties are now commercially available, although in the past it was possible to source webbed varieties such as Ducksfoot in seed form. [h=3]Whorled phyllotaxy[/h] Whorled phyllotaxy is another common mutation, although this is less desirable as a concealment trait as the plants still definitely resemble cannabis. However, many growers find the trait desirable for cosmetic purposes, and some believe that such plants yield flowers of higher potency, although this has not been demonstrably proven. [h=3]Australian Bastard Cannabis[/h] Australian Bastard Cannabis is perhaps the most striking mutation yet seen in cannabis. It is believed that this mutation was first seen in escaped populations around Sydney, and breeders have attempted to stabilise the trait, although without commercial success. This mutation takes the form of hairless, succulent leaflets, usually with no more than five leaflets to a leaf. The individual leaflets usually do not exceed a few centimetres in length. Despite the allure of cannabis that does not resemble cannabis, most attempts to breed viable strains using these genetics have ended in failure. Not unsurprisingly, the best results will usually be gained from healthy plants that exhibit normal characteristics. However, the success of breeding ruderalis genetics (which are poor in cannabinoids) with higher-potency varieties indicates that further research may yield improved results.
