Triple chromosome grow journal.

So due to interest, Ive decide to start a thread on this plant. As of today its on its 3rd day above ground and is growing strong along with 2 other sprouts. It has just recently started to show 3 more leaves coming out of the top so now I am sure that it will be 3 branches at every node. (Which should mean 33% more yield).
Here is what Ive found out so far...

Having a triploid plant is actually rather beneficial because the extra set of chromosomes causes cells to become larger in response to the mutation (autopolyploidy). Because of this flowers and fruits of plants become larger in size, meaning if you have a triploid plant on your hands you are rather lucky because the resin glands on the flowers will be larger, as will the flower itself.

trifoliate
Having leaves in threes. (I have)

trifoliolate
Having three leaflets. (I have)

trifurcate
With three branches arising from the same spot. (I see it starting)

triploid
Having three sets of chromosomes. (Why this happens)

Im curious as to what you all think and if anyone has experience with this type of plant. Im open to all info so feel free to drop some lines.

In both pics, the "mutant" is in the middle. Ill have more pics coming soon. First pic is day one above ground, second is day two after moving into some little pots.

subsribed... would like to see where this goes

I had a seedling with three cotyledon, but it never seemed to do very well. Maybe the mutation can cause other problems?

From what Ive read this is a hybrid trait used to increase growth potential in plants, such as wheat, corn, and marijuana, just to name a few. Its supposed to increase everything about the plant, giving it the leg up on other plants so that it can become the dominant strain. Ive been reading a lot of scientific jargon, a 1/4 of which I can barely understand without referencing a dictionary, but from everything I gathered either this seed has come from genetics that had been manipulated at some point in its ancestry or it happened on its own. Its also supposedly a trait of the Kush strain, but I havent found anything to verify that with other than the fact that these seeds were supposed to be Kush seeds. Or so I was told. lol.
Maybe there was a deficiency with your plant or something, or its chromosomes were just too fucked up. Im not sure, but mine seems to be coming along nicely. It was the first seed to crack, first to pop soil and first to start the second leaflet growth, as well as being just a tad bit taller than the other two at the moment.

Ill be putting up some new pics of this and the other 2 most likely in the morning. If I have the time. Hope to hear from more of you about this!

Im gonna have to BUMP, some Eminem for em this morning.

i do love mutation. i myself am working with 2 that both started having corkscrew leaves (leftover emergency hybrid of white rhino+mystery mexican indica, after a deer ate my seed branch).

plant A came up fast and grew to 1 inch in no time, plant B started slow and took over a week to reach 1 inch.

plant A developed second and third leaves in half the time of plant B.

at the end of week 2

plant A slowed to a crawl, and plant B was over an inch taller.

plant A shows no further sign of leaf abnormality (other than being an exceptionaly broad leafed strain), plant B's second set of true fan leaves came in with 13 leaves extra ones in back and on bottom. 3rd and forth sets also came with extra leaves in odd locations.

now at about week 5 plant A is about 5 inches tall, very tightly spaced nodes, almost no branch extension, and seem to be growing packed like a Thai stick, and other than the fact it seems to be some kind of dwarf bonsia slow growing MF. it looks very nice and am interested in what its gonna do in about 4 months when it reaches 8 inches

plant B is about 12 inches now, lots of branch extension, and is presenting with sativa like characteristics

both used same soil same lighting same water same fert.

but u never can tell what a mutant is going to do. if i get the time ill do some crossing of the slow grow with a few other strains, i really like the potential of its densely packed nodes (they hug the stem and themselves have very densly packed sub nodes) and if i can breed out the slow grow trait i think its got good potential as an indoor only strain. friend of mine just got back, and brought me some Afghani #1, im gonna see what it does to the strain

Sweet, keep me updated, Id like to know how yours are coming along!

Sorry for the neglect of my thread today everyone. Ive come into some very good news, drum roll please.....
Im most likely going to be being designated as a primary caregiver, which will allow me to grow 12 plants legally and posses up to 2.5 oz's per patient!! This has me really stoked. I can only compare it to that feeling one would get as a child, when they actually believed in Santa!! Its almost as if all my prayers have been answered! So close, I dont want to jinx myself so I will shut up now.

this is a cool thread... i like how you're experimenting... that's what i would like to start doing...

looks interesting, ive seen a few mutants on this site

correct me if im wrong, and this may not have even been your original point, but wouldnt 3 chromosomes be low for a plant, do you know the biology of this plant? humans, and i assume plants might be similar, have X and Y chromosomes, which dictate male or female, and maybe hermaphrodite. or do you mean cotyledons? the club shaped leafs that store the chemicals and sugars the seedling needs to grow before the leafs can produce chlorophyll

You answered your own question, they either have any combination of 2 chromosomes xx or xy. When you throw that third one in there xxx, xyy xxy. See what I mean.
My plant has 3 cotyledons as well as 3 leaflets(which become branches).
Look up "autopolyploidy", it will give you a lot of information that Ive only summarized here.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. By all means experiment away, its the only way to really learn what you can and cant do with your plants.

Sorry everyone, I had to get rid of my babies and plant. I dont want to jeopardize my becoming a caregiver. Ill just have to be patient. Thanks for all the info, and once I get legal (soon I hope) I will start posting amazing grows. I gave the mutant to a friend who is going to keep it going. Its been named the 3 headed monster! lol
Ill still be around learning and giving advice.

tahts a real bummer man... are you still going to have pics and such as it grows or are you gonna just stay away from that type of thing for now? best of luck to you in whatever ventures you are getting into

Ill do my best to get pics up, but Im going to have to see the legal ramifications. Once I know more I will be more comfortable, because Im not sure if they can trace uploads and posts on this site and actually be able to use it as evidence. A guy in Michigan got raided and shot because of youtube posts and facebook posts insinuating himself as a marijuana activist. The cops came in the back door, shined a flashlight in his eyes and when he raised his hands to cover his eyes an officer shot him. The kid didnt even have any weed in the house! Also, his parents werent called about it for 6hrs and that was by a nurse!
I just dont want to ruin my chances of being my mothers provider. To be able to grow, legally, 12 plants and posses 2.5 ounces would be all I ever wanted. Id move back to Michigan for that. Though I hear Oregon lets you have 24 oz and 18 plants!

Hello, i am a newcomer to these forums although i have been reading for a few months. thought this thread was interesting becuase i have a White Widow by White Rhino that is doing this. it has three branches per node and its sitting next to another WW x WR that is normal. ive noticed so far that the three branch is growing a tad bit slower as it is about 2 feet tall as the other is around 2.5 feet. going to try some topping on the mutant see how she reacts. just thought id share my experinces with this.

Sounds good, let us now how that goes!

I saw the 3 headed monster today and all is looking well. Im going to get my buddy a couple more cfls to help with the grow. As it was, I only had 2700k to use on my grow so Im going to get him a couple 42w 6500's! That should definitely help.

figured id go ahead and throw my mutant up hear with urs

shes right about 2 weeks now, thought it was alot older, but dint count the 5 days it spent in the ground, kinda small id say, but its in some crappy soil at the moment
