Only three leafs

XTC · Oct 28, 2014

You can't get a trait like this without it being genetic...phenotype is just expressed genotype....even if being rootbound is the cause of expression it is still genetic...it's just that the rootbound environment is causing the expression.

3 fingered leafs are OG traits. Take a look at anyones TK in veg or HPK.That's a good thing!!! Whats the strain again? Those that said kush traits ate spot on!

Any plant that's revegged can throw three leafers I promise you.

stickyfing3rs · Oct 28, 2014

Can also throw single leafs.

Got the pictures u asked for. Plant one. Not trans plant.

Gunfanatic · Oct 28, 2014

Plant two. One that has been transplanted.

Gunfanatic · Oct 29, 2014

Oh yes. They are white widdow. I just transplanted the other one in a larger pot. That is why I have not posted yet. For that I am sorry. I have been enjoying the discussion that has been taking place. I really hope that that that have mutated into a super bud.

I gotta give it to you. That's the biggest plant I've ever seen inside of such a tiny pot! If you switch to 3-5 gallon pots you will have trees. Lol.

Peace

Gunfanatic · Oct 29, 2014

I don't need any trees. I don't have the room. But thank you. I take a lot of pride in my plants. Not that I know what the hell it is that I'm doing. The small pot is what they bolth were In. And I have a few other strains that I have pulled out of the same size pot. One of which the roots were wow!

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

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

Guys, listen to stickyfing3rs. This isn't a phenotype, it's not a strain, it's a physiological expression of photoperiodism and the plant's confusions as to what stage of growth it should be growing. ANY cannabis plant will do this on the reveg. I've posted about the timeline and sequence in the reduction in number of lobes per leaf, and how it comes back over time when the plant is no longer 'hormonally confused' (photoperiod changes trigger hormones that control growth phase, vegetative vs regenerative aka flowering).

Essentially, if you've screwed up the photoperiod and you're seeing 3-lobed leaves, you've set a clock and a sequence that, in my observations, takes approximately 6-8 weeks to get the plant growing normally again. First, you see the 3-lobed leaves, then after about two weeks, you're going to see singles. Assuming the photoperiod has been corrected and the plant is still on a strong vegging light schedule (this is where I'll do an 18/6) after two weeks of singles it will begin to start throwing triples again. After another two weeks or so, again assuming no odd changes in photoperiod, the plant will begin to grow normal 5, 7, 9 or 11 lobed leaves (whatever is normal for that particular plant).

Photoperiodism, learn that term for today.

In the meantime, I feel another teaching thread coming up, because it can get time consuming reposting this same information over and over again. Don't let me forget to post a thread on flowering vs revegging timeline, k?

I haven't read the rest, I was just reading waiting for someone to tell Gunfanatic what's actually happening. :)

Can and will if its photoperiod is screwed up.

Here, YOU get the cookie.

Thank you for that very informative post by seamaiden.

In all of your opinions what is better for veg lighting. 24hr or 18/6? I have always done 24hr.

FiveAM · Oct 29, 2014

18/6, saves money and I truly believe the plants need a dark cycle.

just my 2 cents tho.

Seamaiden · Oct 30, 2014

Agreed, although, I actually interrupt the dark phase of the photoperiod. I think it's really simpler for indoor growers to just stick to the 'accepted' photoperiod norms.

I been wondering about the three leaf , my cuts from a mother with regular leaf growth are all 3 leaf. They are not root bound and they look great and even better than the mom but are Tri leaf.

Think of what day light savings time dose to us twice a year.:sleep:

A sure sign that your mother needs more light... Or at least a different Spectrum. I would go for blue, and get myself rid of all the red.
