I can only hope lol.
It did do it again. So this is the top of the branch on the other side of the previously shown. mutated node so both branches from that node split eventually. This time it's more of a split like it got topped. But it looks like a small leaf is still trying to grow straight out properly. It will be interesting to see what happens with this. She is almost 4 weeks old and starting to preflower now. I almost wish I could clone this girl. Just to see if it happens again.
So I take back what I said earlier. It has done this on multiple nodes now and from the looks. It is stunting growth. The teeny buds on those branches that split later look pathetic compared to the branches that grew properly. Even the 1st split at the beginning of this post isn't doing the best compared to a "normal branch." All in all, friggin crap king seeds got me. Though the other seed I popped with this one is doing wonderfully. The 3rd seed I popped does not seem to act the same as #1 or #2 so I'm seeing inconsistency that I dont like. I'm a quick learner though. I'm wanting to do some dinafem xxl moby dick as the next seed run. I know something from mephisto will be good. But I'll maybe save that for this winter. Once I have a few good runs under my belt.
To answer your question honestly lol I'm not sure which caused which or if there is a correlation at all. I do know that the bud structure / color / resin production / bud size thus far the mutations do not seem to be helping. This is the mutated plant and a pic of the best bud sites growing on it Which is a branch that did not mutate as the mutated branches are way smaller lol.
and this is the other plant. Much better bud structure and color and growth and just about everything lol. These are both exactly 1 month old today. Much faster than I expected with these. 
To answer your question, I'm not sure which happened first or if there's a correlation between mutations and stunting of the plant. What I do know is it definitely doesn't look like the plant that's doing good. Lol.
2 auto’s the same strain...one has its dad’s genetics and one it’s mum’s. Dad’s baby is taller and light green, mum’s baby is darker and shorter and flowering more quickly.
the flowers are firm but real skinny.
Like less yeild skinny?
