Only three leafs

Gunfanatic · Oct 27, 2014

my plant has started only producing 3 leafed water leafs kind of courius about this one. Any answers out there. See the pic

Cool! Nice mutation by the looks of it. Would be genetic.

Gunfanatic · Oct 27, 2014

I have thought that. It is happing on to plants of the same strain and mother. But I don't know. Hoping that this might spark a good debate.

Rosenberg · Oct 27, 2014

You're saying it is or isn't happening to plants of the same strain? If it is, then it's a good indication that the trait is genetic.

Gunfanatic · Oct 27, 2014

It is gaping to the same strain. What do u thing this means. As a genetic trait? Goof or bad?

I've seen it from being root bound. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

In my experience, unless it came out with nothing but 3 leafers from seed., they are root bound. I had a kush strain do that in veg, then exploded with 9 finger leaves when I transplanted her.

Gunfanatic · Oct 27, 2014

Ok we will see one of them I just transplanted about 4 days to a week ago. The other is still in the small pot from cloning.

OK. I mistook his statement " has started" to mean it changed from a normal veg state to its current 3bladed leaf foliage. It could just be a phenotype. But being root bound or lighting issues can cause this trait in otherwise "normal"plants ime.

How tall are those plants and how big is the pots?

Gunfanatic · Oct 27, 2014

What do you mean by phenotype? I did have a 3 month experiment with lighting that failed. I have been bringing them back to health. And lost some on that adventure. But now that I have given them the good light back is when I have seen this. They are abot 2-2.5 ft tall. They where in a 4 in pot. But I just put one of them In a 8 breathe able pot. She is looking good so far. If you want I can post pictures of bolth of them.

I could be wrong but I always thought the 3 fingers as a sign of a good kush strain. Purely good genetics.:cool:

I have heard of a mutant 3 leaf kush that was said to "gush" with resin... But so far every 3 leaf I ended up with was a hermie or leafy piece of shit. I think its a good rule of thumb to keep anything different and watch it,close though, that's where great phenos are found.

In my experience, unless it's always put out 3 leafs, that's usually stress induced.

Yes on pictures. I'm guessing they are seriously root bound.

Looks like it was on the brink of starting to flower. Maybe sitting in a shaded spot or possibly running like a 14-15 hr light cycle? They look nice and healthy is why it doesn't look like there root bound to me

stickyfing3rs · Oct 27, 2014

Also, there's an excessive amount of pistils for a plant in veg

I had 4 of this strain. 2 of them went in to flower. In the lighting experiment I had done. I explain what that was. To give a better idea.
I was given a LED aquarium hood. And I am getting great results for my clones. And newly rooting plants. So I decided to get more of the same hoods and replace my MH 1000w. Unfortunately after about 2 months of veg with this style of light. They get stringee. No meat on the plant and very little growth. So I let it go on as I built a new home for the plants. And brought them back under the MH light. They have been there for about a month. They are coming back to good health for the most part. I had to go through them all to pick the strong and off the weak and almost dead.

that looks like Loompa's headband.

Them flat looking leaves that are kinda joined definitely aren't genetic. That's 100% re veg leaves, not to say that it couldn't throw three leafers. Repot them girls like they say and keep up with the new lighting. They'll be all back to normal before long
