Ever seen...

[grayeyes]

I just popped some GDP seeds. One was resistant to opening up so I cracked the seed cover. It has cleared the surface and on it were three cotleydon leaves. The first real leaves have now opened. Again there are three. Is this a triploid?

Anyone ever seen this?

And after the hassle of taking pictures are you going to see something different then I described? Have YOU seen this before?

I’ve had 2 over the years. I think they’re called tricots.

Were they like they describe triploids and are infertile? From what I have read even when next to a pollinating male they won't seed. And grew much larger colas.

No pics then it didn't happen..... just saying

Triploids have 3 sets of chromosomes so they can’t breed with regular plants. Tricots have 3 cotyledon leaves. Some go on to have 3 shoots and leaves from each node.

You are all welcome to come and take pictures. We'll see who it is important to.

Really hard to tell if I've seen it before, if I can't SEE it..

Budz, I invited you to come and take pictures, what? Isn't worth it to you?

 

[420 Garden]

No, really. No pic never happened. Very easy to understand.

I'm not the OP but here's a triploid Australian Bastard

Well , let’s unpack your thread …..

You ask “ anyone ever see this ? ” and not actually show it. So what is the purpose of the question without a pic ?
Sure there are tripoloid / tri-leaf / mutations / “ freakshow - creeper “ strains but usually a pic would help identify it.
‘However , the actual issue of having 3 cotyledons is nothing special.

Here I made a diagram of your possible seedling to illustrate , for those waiting with baited breath.

Now I'm really interested in seeing what the OP has. Go figure 6.85 Billion smart phones in the world. WTF are the chances the OP has one with NO camera capabilities?

False flag operation folks - add pee for remedy.

Thanks Johiem. That is exactly what it is.

Budz, good luck next year in 7th grade.

They're not wholly uncommon but they are definitely not everyday. I'd say they are more common than twins which seems to be happening more often recently. I have a non Bastard Australian strain that has a tendency to polyploid. I got 2 triploids from this seeds that I lost to bugs. I never got to see it but a friend of mine says he got a [would it be quadraploid or tetraploid?] Anyway he claimed he got 4 branches per node. I never saw it because he had issues i didn't want to bring home and add to my existing issues but that's his claim.
