Some cool mutations I'm getting this round

Hey everyone, I wanted to share some cool mutations I have on some plants this round with you guys, and maybe get some input as to whether these might just be genetics or caused by environmental factors.

They're not causing me any problems, the girls are doing amazing, but it's interesting to look at.

These plants are grown in a small tent under a 300w Chinese LED panel for a few weeks in 24/0 and then put outside in western europe.

So the first mutant I got is this Kush-n-Cheese Auto from Dinafem.
This one has two distinct mutations.
First off, its leaves are unlike any that I've seen, they started out normal but after the 3rd or 4th node up they have this weird triple junction going on where the fingers on either side of the middle one have separate junctions and the middle finger is alone, usually flopping below:



This one seems to be genetics since if you look closely on the YouTube video Dinafem has for this strain, the plants has the same mutant leaves. I find it weird that they don't market it as a feature kinda like the ducksfoot if it's stabilized.

Anyways, this same plant also did something else weird, it shot four branches out of its first node, I don't think I'm gonna lollipop this one haha:


Ok, this next one is a Violeta (Purple Malawi x PCK) from Ace seeds. On this one the first leaves have two fingers instead of one, and on the 2nd node one of the leave came out with 4 fingers instead of 3:




Not a mutation but she's showing purple hues at 2 weeks in veg, pretty cool (can't be due to night temperature I think since she has no nights, she's under 24h of light and the tent is more on the hot side, 25-28°C):

I gotta say this is one of the most vigorous girl I've grown so far, it has these huge leaves and is just developing much faster than the Dark Devil that sprouted the same day despite having a much smaller pot. Maybe that's thanks to the extra foliage from the extra fingers...

The next one is a Devil Cream Auto from Sweet Seeds that started out in the tent at the same time as the Violeta and has one of the two first leaves that came out with 2 fingers also:


Finally, not sure if this is another mutant but this 5 days old Sweet Trainwreck Auto from Sweet Seeds has this weird ass looking leave coming out, we'll see how it turns out:


Any of you guys ever had these kinds of mutations, or some other ones? Please share

Any idea what exactly in my environment could be causing this ?

I'm guessing maybe it's the El Cheapo chinese panel, but what's different in those that could be doing that? Too much UV-B?

Thanks man, would love to see that offset leaf you're talking about.

You're right, my RH was definitely low for the past couple weeks since my humidifier died. Checked my thermometer and it even dropped as low as 23% apparently.

All my mutants except the kush-n-cheese were started in the past 2 to 3 weeks so this could check out

im a total newbie been growing 21 days so just a wild stab in the dark could lead to genetics couldj ust be an undecided sativa/indica i did have this odd thing called crystal white by spliff seeds never grew past this elf ear looking thing 12969237_1011354615621066_345643994_n.jpghow many leafs on an indica this one with odd leaf has some with 6 fingers some with 4 fingers and some with 5 im confused but need my girlfriends camera to show you

Haha wtf, not even sure that first one is weed tbh (reminds me of this thread). Hope for you this was a freebie.
I've seen plants go up to 11 leaves, indicas or not, but 4 or any even number is pretty weird.

Now that's a cannabis plant for sure haha, a dope looking one too, nice man!
I really think you are right for the low humidity, my newer plants also have this stacked/huge leaves/slightly droopy look to them.

My Sweet Trainwreck def turned out to be another corky, it's growing another one of those frankenstein leaves, check it out.

im straying towards humidity as ive struggled like mad to get mine to rise never been above 40% if im honest but cant do nothing about it till i get my first wage in 2 weeks its killing me watching it ive tried a damp towel done nothing put a small cup of water in there done nothing either no method seams to be helping

I feel you man. Def leaning towards humidity too. Are all your plants leaves like super leathery as well?

One thing that works for me to raise humidity is that I either water my plants or if they don't need watering I just spray the top of the substrate (being careful not to hit the leaves too much to avoid light burns) and then let my temp raise a little bit to about 26.5°C (about 80°F).

This gets my tent up to about 60-70% pretty quick and lasts about 12h or until I next open it up, but then again my tent is really small (75x45cm and 90cm high) and only has passive extraction and a little air circulation fan inside.
