this is the only seed that grew out of 5.
3 or more stems grow from stalk where there should only be 1
stalk is more flat than round.

I have one that's like that. I just let it grow. I was curious to see what it would do. It's still short and bushy, but it looks like it will stretch well when it flowers. I'm going to flip it in a week or two.

Not normal, not harmful, but it happens enough that I don't find oddities like this as all that unusual. I usually grow them out.

update on the mutant gorilla glue.
there is zero branches growing from the stalk, nothing but leaves and soon to be buds.
i swear the top cola is going to produce triplets if not quintuplets! and i haven't topped or touched her in any way.
i defoliated today to give the soon to be buds light as the fan leaves were so thick no light hit anything but the top.
fans were bigger than my hand.
i could have the next best plant growing here. or not. lol
any thoughts on how to proceed?

It might have a bowling ball for a cola!

 

[dean1963]

if it wasn't for staying up nights worrying about bud rot that would be awesome.
i'll keep posting progress and be bothering you people for advice on this.
it's a pretty cool mutant , kinda like the 3 breasted mutant in Total Recall , but i'm on the fence if i like either of them.
lol

Looks like it could end being a polyploid hehehe fun will be following. never had one myself, only twins from seed two times.

i looked up polyploid but still don't know what it means. could someone explain it to me please.
and by fun, did you mean an interesting plant or a bad plant?

From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyploidy#External_links

Polyploidy is a condition in which the cells of an organism have more than one pair of (homologous) chromosomes. Most species whose cells have nuclei (eukaryotes) are diploid, meaning they have two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each of two parents; each set contains the same number of chromosomes, and the chromosomes are joined in pairs of homologous chromosomes. However, some organisms are polyploid. Polyploidy is especially common in plants. Most eukaryotes have diploid somatic cells, but produce haploid gametes (eggs and sperm) by meiosis. A monoploid has only one set of chromosomes, and the term is usually only applied to cells or organisms that are normally diploid. Males of bees and other Hymenoptera, for example, are monoploid. Unlike animals, plants and multicellular algae have life cycles with two alternating multicellular generations. The gametophyte generation is haploid, and produces gametes by mitosis; the sporophyte generation is diploid and produces spores by meiosis.

In simple terms the plant has a genetic condition ... more chromosomes than it should have. This reflects in its appearance but it won't harm you. They are typically sterile plants without the ability to produce seeds.

so no worry about being a herm then, that's good to know.
is this something that should be cloned and kept growing or is it just a regular strength ugly girl?

It's hard to say. It may be able to pollinate itself ... I'm no expert. I'm just an avid reader of anything cannabis related. It cannot be pollinated by a normal diploid plant.

If you want to be sure, go ahead and clone her. In the event she turns out to be an ugly duckling with extreme power, you still have the genetics and can run clones off the clones if you want.

By fun I mean interesting, it's kinda rare to find a polyploid, they usually are not keepers as the bud development is leafy and really crazy, but who knows, I'm not sure it's a polyploid tho, let it grow and see what's comes out of it. :-)
