Sport Hunting

[geologic]

Anybody have any interesting mutations???

[EDIT]:

The above illustrations were drawn in 1980
from observations made throughout the '70s.
If I didn't know the proper scientific terminology I made-up something.
(Hey, I still do that!!!)...

Addendumb:
The examples 3, 4, and 5; labled "Tri-Axial", "Tetra-Axial", and Pent-Axial
are actually all plants exhibiting Whorled Phyllotaxy: TriWhorl, QuadWhorl, and <WhateverWhorl>.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllotaxis

The ones labeled "Tape Stem" are Fasciated--
'The Strainhunters' called the ones they found in Morocco "Flat Stems"
Heh...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasciation

============================

(napiform = turniplike Lat.)

============================

A pruned "normal" opposite axial mainstem results in 2 mainstems (1>2>4)--
a pruned <what I've always called> "triaxial" results in 3 mainstems (1>3>6)...

Another weird one--
two secondary stems from one <wide petioled> leaf...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've always have 3 or 4 "duckfoot" shaped leaves show up on 3 or 4 plants every year,
I never selected for that specific trait--
but somebody did...

The only mutation I've observed is one I caused, by cutting out a piece of light-burned bud. It caused a strange, flattened bud structure. Pretty cool, but your thread title had me expecting deep ocean fishing or something like that.

Well there ya go! I've heard of sports... should have thought of that first. Thread title makes sense now.

Now that you brought it up;

I should have named this topic, er, thread:

Sport HUNTING not fishing--

any way to change that???

===================

I've never seen one like this.

At first I thought it was insect damage, maybe some piercing-sucking sucker walking up one side of a leaf, ah, piercing and sucking during his walk; or, from the other end of the spectrum (Heh), an insect depositing eggs within the leaf membrane on her walk. I don't wory about insects much; unless it's an infestation, a grasshopper, or Leptodoptera larve...

But it continued on at (kinda) the same area on the next node, and the next, and the next;
and on to the top.

It looks to be in the same "area" as variegated leaves. I've always had a few variegated leaves on a few plants. (heck, I've had a couple of pure white leaves on a couple of plants). Like the duckfoot leaf, I never selected for variegation. ( I always had a bad feeling about the lack of chlorophyll). Just been reading that D.J.Short (a name I've seen for many months), did select for that trait; and apparently had good success.

I followed some links to "crinkled leaf mutations", but this thing doesn't resemble any of those pictures. (I've had some "crinkle leafs" like in those pics, but I thought they were ugly).

But what the heck is this???

That could be disease, yet the plant appears to be vigorously growing. I think I'm leaning towards some sort of genetic anomaly, too.

looks like its sproutin peas :) so weird

"genetic" anomaly,
or someotherkinda anomaly--
and "what does it do"???

Them be the big questions...

 

[Seamaiden]

The more I look at it, the less I think it's an environmental issue. I mean, logically, if it were say... pH being off, wouldn't the whole plant express its displeasure? Yet, what I see is distinct portions of the plant showing this crinkled, crepey growth. (You know, like crepe paper? Do they even make that stuff anymore?)

It could be disease, because of the uneven appearance, but the plant looks really healthy outside of the heavy texturing of the leaves.

 

[geologic]

Here's that weirdo above with 2 secondaries emanating from one axial--
now they're two mainstems...

========================

Looks like maybe another one on the way...

Much thanx to you 'an yer magic faery wand--
makes sence now...

=============

I agree, it's one half of the tallest mainstem--
and reminds me of where/how varigation appears...
-------------------------------------------------------------

 

[Seamaiden]

Do you think that if you took a cutting from just that part, it would continue to grow that way? And would it grow into an entirely crinkly plant? That is absolutely *not* an unhealthy plant, it looks quite vigorous, in perfect condition to my eyes.

 

[geologic]

Most all my cuttings get juiced;
or mulched under the plants--
I'll give it a try...

Idk as much as you forsure but i reckon thats a virus man... I am like 90% sure..

The dutch propagated a virus in tulips and created kingdoms with it. I'm seconding a clone of that portion.

Well don't just leave it there! Tell us why you're thinking virus and so certain. What about it is making you think that?

How'd it grow out? I seem to recall that Blaze has run Vanillaluna (sp?), but don't recall him discussing it looking so odd from birth.

Any more shots???

Looks a lot like the "Crinkle Leafs" I've seen, read about and mentioned briefly in the
Mutant Mary Jane article http://www.cannabis.info/USA/library/2401-mutant-mary-jane/ --
"The list of known Cannabis mutations does not end here:
purpling, crinkled leaves, conjoined twins, buds that grow on fan-leaves..."...
