Weird leaf blade issues

This is a Femaleseeds.nl Blueberry Cheesecake that I got from Seedsman as a freebie for the shipping delay last year. Packets from the breeder with 1 seed each. I'm assuming the seeds are old as I had to help remove the seed cover when it germed. Also I got 4 of the packets and the 1st one damped off and had to help remove the seed coat on that one too.

The one 3 finger leaf came up with the one blade twisted and it unraveled and has 4 blades. Then the most recent 7 finger leaf is like one side of the blade is almost missing.

Also just noticed one of the larger fan leaves on bottom of pic is missing one of the small leaflets so it got like 6 blades instead of 7

What do you guys think? Is it bad genetics or just cause the seed was old. It seems to still be growing ok. I'd hate to have to yank it and slap an Auto seedling in there 4 weeks behind the others.

Likely a genetic abnormality. And fresh seeds can require some assistance with hull removal.

Do you think it will have a higher likelihood of herming or is it just minor to no effect on end results?

Thanks

I’ve never found anything that would show a predisposition to hermie. In fact pheno hunters are usually extremely interested in these types of differences.

no, only bad groing will cause hermi usualy, if the geneticare good, as they should be from seedsman, very reputably as i understand it. so only bad growing is your problem there, dont fuss over them, there a weed afterall and can take many diferant growing situations, ask questions like this one and search function every answer

Thats interesting. Wonder why they are interested in the differences? Possibly a new pheno? Ive never grown them to breed them but that would be interesting to do. Im interested in red phenos. They look real pretty but I dont want a racy Sativa strain.

I'd keep growing the plants you have. I have one plant growing now with a single branch that turns into 2 joined branches and has leaves for 2 at the top of the branch.

A leaf twisting or a slightly funky leaf? Meh.
