I have a clone that has developed a flat stem all the way to the top. From what I have read it is not going to produce good bud- i am considering tossing it.
Any advice?
Main stem os about 1/4” thick and 5/8” wide.
It is growing a lot of

3 lobe leaves.

Don't know what it's called but I've had it....
Produced good weed, but what looked to be a massive cola was just bud around a massive center stem
Worth growing out? Sure.
Have fun

C’mon man you gotta tell us the strain!

I’ve had it show up once in Bubblegum from Serious seeds years ago, it didn’t happen on the initial seed run but showed up on
the first generation of clones (1 female).

I’ve read a lot about it and talked to a few people about it over the years, I’ve yet to find a link to a certain strain / region of landrace weed.

Is that the main stem?

The tops from fasciated branches look cool, but production is not the best, unless you’re trying to make seeds. Personally I would top ot and see what happens to the new growth before deciding to chop.

This is White Widow from MSNL-
I have too many clones to grow out- on purpose because I knew some would be better than others- I have to cull something
That is farming-

Yes that is the main stem and it is big and flat right to the top so it looks really weird- not thinner on top like a normal stem.

It might still produce good bud but you may have read something different. I have gotten some pretty good results from small stemmed plants. Better than what I would’ve gotten on the street at that time. I think I have heard about stems being important and 3 love leaves but idk I would just run it unless you wanna start over and save space and time.

I had it and it wasn't anything special. If you cut the stem up a little vertically the long way it might promote branching but if you have other clones of the same plant I'd go with those
