triple nodes? More of a curiosity than a problem ^_^

I germniated a NL seed in october that had 3 leaves per node rather than 2. The plant continued this triple leaf growth for most of vegging untill it split into a regular stem, and a stem with alternating nodes.

It seemd like a normal enough plant at this point with only a few odd leaves. Now 3 weeks into flowering the plant is making buds diffrently than the others. the placement of all the hairs is quite odd. seems like its gonna be real leafy >_<.

Has anyone else grown this type of mutation? anyone have any experience with the kind of bud these triple mutations produce?

here are some pictures of the plant.
(Last one is a normal phenotype, to compare!)

I don't know personally but I have read that the 3 leaf node plants have lower bud yield?

Update on how this plant has been growing. It has grown almost 4 feet tall and is on day 42 of flowering.

Some of the fan leaves have 3 and 4 fingers, and the bud growth is distorted.

check out the pics~

i've had the same thing.. if you top it it'll go back to normal.... so dont top.. i think it's a genetic unique to that plant meaning the gene isnt transferred if you try and clone

i have a NL thats growing normal but the 2 clones i took from it is growing 3 nodes

I just sprouted one of these gems.
