white rhino fem seed, 27 days. This should increase yield by 50%. Sure hope the clones carry this trait when it's time.Has anybody ever seen this?

what exactly i the trait that you believe should increase yield by 50%?
what atmosphere controls do you employ in your grow room that are known to increase yields?
assuming you provide every needed resource to your plant did you know that final yields
will depend on length of vegetative time?

the plant is throwing out 3 sets of fan leaves and 3 sets of branches look at the pic. I've seen 1000's of plants but never one like this
It's called whorled phyllotaxy. Many call it the "3 weed clover" where I'm from.

exactly. this will not up the yield at all. it will however help fill the canopy which will shorten veg time

sure I see it, and also wonder why you say "This should increase yield by 50%". since I knew this was not the trait that will increase your yield I figured there must be another I'm missing.
Higher yield? No. At least not in any significant ways caused directly from the mutation.
Most often times they correct themselves by "topping" them self. But a larger canopy per plant usually brings higher yield per plant so it can influence yields just like topping or training your plants. Grown naturally side by side next to a sister it would likely end up yielding more. Throw in any form of training however and it all becomes meaningless. The best comparison would be a topped plant vs non topped plant with no other training.

Loss of apical dominance through one of many different stresses, by apical dominance i mean its ability to grow upwards, at the moment it is growing more outwards, this will make your bud one third to a half more leafy with corresponding extra nodes and stem, not good to smoke generally.

Consider this not as extra growth but as growth that would have been at the top of the plant relocated to the side, this way there is no extra growth/dry matter compared to a normal plant, both grow at 100% biological efficiency and produce the same yeild

Would this trait suit a scrog? Your not losing veg time by topping for eg

You have the wrong end of the stick here sorry

No thats not quite it, you can get nodes moving but that again is based on other stuff like auxins etc etc and generally they will follow an alternate pattern by that time of maturity.
Its a case of apical dominance as stated

Its from a fem seed so yes 100% female, still that has nowt to do with the three nodes
This is what happens when your bud looses its apical dominance (not my picture), all them leaves make for a dreadful smoke and cure.
Many growers try to breed this but fail as it is not a breedable trait but a stress problem, willow trees have the same problem in waterlogged acidic riverbank soils, why they grow out and droop like a mofo. Most of this info is easily obtainable on google and the whorlled phyllotaxy is merely a description of leaf arrangement not anything genetic.
Enjoy....

Not to worry. 3 is better than 2 as the plant will be that much more bushy. That's a good thing and keep your fingers crossed the trait will continue. "3-fers" make excellent mother plants as you have 50% more growing .points that become clone sites. Keep us posted on the next generation and keep track of everything in your journal.
Good luck, BigSteve.

Getting tiring telling you guys that you are dead wrong, 3 is not better than 2 and at the most it can only equal 2 and even then you get leafy crappy buds.
What part of all the info ive posted and pictures to support it are you having problems with because you just seem to want to promo some brology in the face of scientific evidence and grower fact
