Mutation or something to worry about?

Hello everyone, I noticed on my mephisto sour stomper autoflower plant that the two bottom nodes have 4 arms coming from each node instead of the standard 2 arms per node. Is this a good thing or will the two arms create larfy nugs? Should I cut both or one of them off to give the other more energy or keep it?

Or two arms per node, not 4.

I would keep it. Interesting to see what does when flowers

Probably just got damaged as a nub and was basically topped st the stalk, she's fine.

Ok awesome thanks. It is happening on all of the bottom nodes so it’s hard to say if all of them were damaged/topped

Will do I’m curious, thank you!

Easy to do when transplanting. A baby node makes an easy place to hold on to.
Could be some sort of polyploidism, either way she looks good, I Wouldn't sweat it.

Now that you mention that I wonder if I did possibly top when I placed the garden wire against it for support. That would’ve been the only way considering I didn’t transplant. Thank you for the info! I’m leaning towards polyploidism after reading into it

polyploidy is actually very rare, as is real whorled phylotaxy...i wouldn't worry too much about it, if it's either, you'll know for sure soon enough

I've only ever got whorls in reveg.

the worst that can happen with either one is buds with a high percentage of leaf in them, not the end of the world either way
