Strange phenomenon or genetic mutation?

2 week old plant has 3 nodes per "intersection" that alternate up the main stem. I noticed when seedling first broke through soil that it had 3 of the little round "starter" leaves but didn't think much of it...anybody ever come across this before?

Triploid, trifoliate, call it what you like. It's very rare, same idea as a 4 leaf clover. Don't expect to see it again.

I have a triple that's about 20 days old right now.
Exactly as you describe.
must be a common genetic trait.
I wonder if anyone knows if it is a good trait or a bad one?
Or as I suspect most will say its just a Fugin Plant, lol

Bless,

Found this on another board;

A trifoliate plant isn't 3 leaved but 3 branched. They occur quite often in cannabis and differ by having 3 branches growing at the nodes on the main stem instead of 2 but are otherwise quite 'normal'.

Someone also commented it is a mainly male trait, 95% if you believe what you read!
I will grow mine out.

when you top it it should create a third more colas if Supper Croped.

I will test the theory soon!

I had one branch do this on a white widow at the start of flowering. It made for a thick bud covered branch.

I like this. I also want 3 branches per node. I will talk to my next grow from seed like Tony Robbins and convince the plant this is definitely the way to go. Positive reinforcement, wish me luck!

This would be a highly desirable trait if it could be stabilised... 50% additional branching and nodal density...

Ah I see "Triploid plants bear flowers, but these flowers cannot be fertilized, because the odd numbers of chromosomes are unable to pair up properly. The plant can still be pollinated and will still bear fruit, but because no fertilization occurred, the fruit will not have seeds" So it's not a trait, but a genetic defect.
