polyploidism buds?

Not sure if it’s polyploidism, but I don‘t think it’ll help your harvest to trim leaves from the buds.

Definitely polyploid

Normal cannabis plants have two sets of chromosomes (diploid). A polyploid cannabis plant has 3 or even more chromosomes. It’s a genetic mutation but one that can occur naturally.

Early commercial applications include triploid hemp seeds which are intended to produce vigorous crops but with sterile pollen - so no accidentally ruining a neighboring cannabis farm.

Polyploidism is not identifiable just by appearance, it requires genetic testing. A lot of what gets termed as a polyploid on here is actually fasciation - an abnormal fusing and flattening of stems/branches.

Here is another from the Seedsman FB page today for those that didn't see it. Unfortunately, I wasn't blessed with this odity.

The OPs photo doesn't look like polyploidy.

It is a blessing you didn't get it. It usually results in poor yield and quality.

I just read an article this morning about a strain called "Freakshow". Humboldt genetics has the gig on the seeds - IF you can get them; they are crazy popular.

Yeah it’s been around for a minute. It doesn’t have fasciation and isn’t a polyploid though. Freakshow leaves look very different from regular plants. Almost like fern leaves instead of cannabis.

I read that same article. Interesting plant but didn't state any information on any benefits.

Freakshow, Ducksfoot, they both have odd looking leaves but the quality of the weed is not very good. If you want something that looks strange then grow them. If you want good weed then grow something else.
