Northern Lighs Auto - 3 Finger Leaves - Genetic Abnormality?

Hey Guys,

I thought I'd share with you an interesting abnormality I have stumbled upon when growing an Automatic Northern Lights strain by White Label Seeds.

For some reason my plant is producing only 3 finger leaves (in the pictures you can see her in the 10th week from seed). Other than that the plant seems to be really healthy and growing nicely. Never mind some white residue on the leaves, it's the milk and water solution I used to spray it with, to fight the White Powdery Mildew (which works great by the way).

Actually I'm having a fair share of doubt as to what strain this actually is. It is my second grow, from the same pack of seeds, and it's nothing like the first one. My first NL Auto plant was producing 5 finger leaves, as one would expect, was compact and bushy. This plant has a much longer internodal distances, and much less foliage with respect to the previous one, it kind of has much less branches. What really made me thinking is her smell, it smells strongly like the cat urine, which is not typical for NL, correct me if I'm wrong?

My setup is:
- 9L bucket outdoors (only sunlight - in warm mediterranean climate)
- Biobizz All-Mix soil
- Biobizz Grow/Bloom/Top-Max

I was just wondering if any of you had such a genetic abnormality? Do you think maybe there's another reason behind this, and not just genetics? I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on this?

Finally would love to hear your thoughts on what this strain could be, since the smell really made me thinking it was not a NL, but rather some Skunk?

Thank you very much,
Djotto.

Same exact conditions as my first grow, so I really doubt it has anything to do with stress.

Hey shpongler,

No, it has always been outside, for 10 weeks now, starting from late March. I think it should be her last 2-3 weeks before harvest.

What made you think it went revegging? Also I don't think that is possible with Autoflowers?

Thats cool ;)

Any thoughts on the cat urine smell? What strains usually small that way? I thought could be some Skunk hybrid?

how did you manage to keep the 2 grows in exact conditions if you had them out side its not very nice calling names i just read your post and was actually going to help but reading that you grew them outside and then stated that it couldnt be conditions as you managed to grow them in exact conditions as last time lol and now you say they was indoors but earlier you said "
My setup is:
- 9L bucket outdoors (only sunlight - in warm mediterranean climate)"
i just wanted to know how you dialled the sun and the outdoor climate rh and etc to run exactly the same as last run ?
so who is really the fuckface ?

Yes, it was a stress related question. So, nothing has changed with respect to my last grow. Obviously the weather conditions are not EXACTLY the same, but they are pretty much the same as a year ago (same months). Therefore I doubt that it could be a significant enough source of stress for a plant to behave in such a different way.

A first couple of sets of true leaves are supposed to have only 3 fingers, then the plant start making 5, 7, etc.... or at least its supposed to (not in my case :))
