Everyone loves a FREAK... the mutant thread!

[stinkyattic]

Hey all!
I have a couple oddballs in the garden that I'd like to share with you. I hate my camera. These are all fairly common mutations you will see if you grow long enough. The one I never got a good pic of is partial albinism, so if anyone has one to share, by all means, do!

#1: It's a White Rhino about a 3 weeks to a month from seed... Self topped early... Not from pinching or damage or stress, it just split.
#2: This is a Purple Star plant about the same age. It started out with whorled phytolaxy, 3 cotyledons, 3 blade leaves, then some weird leaves, but it's growing out of it as you can sort of see.
#3: My favorite!!! This is an unknown strain that I cloned while in flower. The clone survived but was then attacked by thrips and almost croaked. I bug-bombed and put her under a weaker light to get back to health, and then I noticed what looked like a DIFFERENT KIND OF PLANT growing up and through her. I thought it was a garden weed that rode in with my hot peppers. So yesterday I went to yank it, and discovered it had no stem of its own, but is actually a sport growing from the female bud! And best of all, it has calyxes on it already. So I'm going to leave her to see how long it takes to revert to normal growth.

You can barely see, but the leaves of the odd shoot on that last have absolutely no hints of any serrations.

[Weed_Smoka]

wow that's cool man.

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, Stinky. Just found this thread. I don't spend enough time in the Lounge. You know I got at least 1 or 2 mutant pics I can put up. I rembember one from early veg and then of course the "three-headed monster" one that will be harvested in this next update. I'll try to round 'em up and post them on. Good thread. :clap:


I'm :stoned:

Nice freaks. <G>
Last season I started 12/12 to sex the plants, waiting until flowers showed and went back to 18/6 for a week or two before planting outdoors in the first of June. Many wierd anomalies. The single smooth leaves (one plant stayed like that right through the summer and through maturity). A couple of self topping plants too.

I have one whorled phytolaxy this season too. Here's an early pic of it.

[attachment=o104698]

I had a nice one going 2005 in a bucket on a sunporch but killed it with polluted water from a fishtank.

Nice freak to you too!

Hey next time the fishtank water subject comes up, remind people of that!!!

Only for compost heaps and the OUTDOOR garden!

[Weed_Smoka]

i got some plants who went staright to 12/12
i geuss you can call em freaks

[Arklenao2]

more pics of that stange leafed plant plz

[Shovelhandle]

[attachment=o104839]

this one? It's a freak and a runt, but I like it. <G>

Shov

[Abattoir Dream]

its a triploid... ive been after one since i very first started growing.... still nothing :(

[Shovelhandle]

one reason why I germinate hundreds of seeds. To see what happens.

Shov

[stinkyattic]

its a triploid...
No, polyploidy and whorled phytolaxy are 2 entirely different things. Polyploid plants may be impossible to spot, or they may develop only single bladed leaves their entire lives. They can make you REALLY confused if you breed one accidentally too! :D

[babystarbud]

i like the self topping one, very cool:jointsmile:

heres a pic of a mutant leaf on one of my skywalkers, wierd thing is, its a low down leaf and i could have sworn it started out normal, i didnt even notice it untill a few days ago, anyone know what causes this?

[Cyclonite]

Heres my 3 headed self topper...it doesnt look as though it will yield as much though. My soil grow has been sub-par compared to my hydro.

[stinkyattic]

ha ha if that is sub-par compared to the other, you are doing all right!!! :D Can't tell what that is in the avatar... you a turkey hunter?

[stinkyattic]

Pic#1 is a twinned plant. It's an Akita (annaC x Stankonia) freebie from seedbay that sprouted 2 plants from 1 HUGE seed.
Pic#2 is not a great shot, but if you can see the largest 2 leaflets of the leaf I'm holding are fused and share the same main vein for the 1st third of their length.
I love freaks.

[Shovelhandle]

Fasinating!

[Cyclonite]

From deer hunting, it looked great then but having problems in flower

[Volker]

This is not really a freak, but is interesting nonethless.

On one of previous grows, when I topped the plant, I stuck a cutting in a jar of water. No bubbles. No rooting gel. Nothing but a jar of water, which I changed daily... when I remembered.

Anyway, I set it into bud about 2 weeks before the plant, got 2 joints (1 joint + 1 hamster joint) out of it

[Shovelhandle]

cool

[hipEstoner]

i got a mutant, its dead tho, long ago, its been smoked 6 months ago

[Bree1978]

Here is a mutant leaf I noticed yesterday....:D

[xcrispi]

hey stinky ,
i spoke of a self topping blueberry freak w/ all lower growth mutated in my yellowing plant help thread . ;)

i finally figured out how to shrink some pics. , via. the camera though , not thru a photo shop program and i think i lost lotsa photo clarity this way . but i tried lol . :mad:

i like the third... looks like one of mine; all her clones look like that until the 3rd or 4th week of flower... any ideas on how to encourage this trait?

[brookerosebud]

i too, have a self topping blueberry; she grew eight heads originaly, now it's like sixteen, they just keep popping out! i'll post a pic later... she's a clone mom now, or soon to be:)

nice plant, crispi;)

love, brooke

[xcrispi]

hey brooke ,
sorry to hear about your bum luck w/ fire in the grow n death of lil loved ones . my dogs are my kidz , i wouldn't even be alive if it wasn't for dog in the avatar tripping out n running to get my wife when the garage exploded . it hurt like hell when we had to put her down . my condolences n prayers .
god bless
crispi

[brookerosebud]

thanx sweetie, how are you? haven't heard from you in a while.

brooke

[Abattoir Dream]

wait... how can a plant be self topping? surely it wont just make its head wilt?!?

[brookerosebud]

mine is from clone... it almost died, the top got all brown, and i was going to pull it, but it started putting out from under the dead top...

then it put out more...

and more....

and even more!

here it is...

[brookerosebud]

here's from the top...

cool; a hydra:)

I like you more and more with everythig I see.. Your pictures rock!!!!


BROOK.. can you send me 10-15 pictures of yourself... I just wanna see more...


STINKY.. you are a freak. iloveyou

[stinkyattic]

STINKY.. you are a freak.


You know it! :D

Update on one of my freaks!!! The Purple Star with whorled phytolaxy is a GIRL!!!! WOOT.

I potted her up in the same bucket as her 'normal' sister for flowering and we will see if yield is at all affected (my guess is a resounding NO but maybe I'll be wrong!).

[Abattoir Dream]

The Purple Star with whorled phytolaxy is a GIRL!!!!

congratulations... now if only i knew what that was.... stinky, you seem to know a shitload about genetics and stuff, fancy giving me a few pointers as to where on the net i can go to learn a little too? - Merry xmas stinky...:)

[stinkyattic]

Merry Xmas to you too!
Shit... I can't point to any single place... just read as much as you can! If I had to say the best printed resource for cannabis genetics, it would be Greg Green's Cannabis Breeders Bible. I love that book. And for genetics in general... I took a Biology-heavy courseload in college. It was a good start to my 'other' career, lol!

Oh ps whorled phytolaxy is when you see those plants with 3 cotyledons and 3 petioles at every node instead of 2-lots of people call it polyploidy by mistake but that's a different condiotion.

[Splifted]

Woot. Does the same 3 thing happen on the nodes on the branches?

[stinkyattic]

Woot. Does the same 3 thing happen on the nodes on the branches?

Didnt top her because she was showing no signs of lateral branching. She's like a stick with leaves.

[Volker]

LOL! i just noticed tha one of my plants has a triploid branch. The rest of the plant is bi-lateral (so far) except for this one branch. It's obviously been this way at least a week, but I just now noticed.

[Garden Knowm]

very interesting.. I would be curious to see if the nodes space out a bit...

very cool!

[Volker]

very interesting.. I would be curious to see if the nodes space out a bit...

very cool!In examining the plant more closely, every branch except the triploid branch has weird "even-odd" nodes: the 1st node has 2 leaves, the 2nd node 1 leaf, the 3rd 2, the 4th 1, etc. (I will post some pics of this in the AM) The meristem is bi-lateral.

So now I'm wondering if the "triploid" is simply the "even-odd" thing flattened out, or if the "even-odd" branches are the "triploid" thing streched out.

I'm also wondering why I didn't notice this until the plants was almost 4 weeks old. A case of overlooking the weirdness because the plant looks so beautiful?

[Volker]

As promised, here are pics of the "even-odd" thing that's happening on all the branches except the "triploid" branch. At first glance, some tips look kinda like they're going triple, but if you look close, you can see that it's the "even odd" thing.

This is what made me think the plant was "zig-zagging" and ready to start bud. Now I'm not so sure.

[Volker]

The Triploid Clone Project
Utilizing the El-Cheapo No Maintanance Cloning Method

Since I've noticed the triploid branch on this grow, I've been wanting to study it in more detail. So instead of fertilizing it, I decided to make a clone, and keep the log in the FREAK SHOW thread.

I cut off the branch as close to the meristem as I could get and stuck it in a jar of water. I saw that the 1st node didn't have a fully formed 3rd (leaf/branch), but the nub is there.

I prepared a clean pair of scissors, some cloning gel, and a bowl of water. I stuck the branch into the bowl of water, and underwater cut the leaves & branches from the first node. I also snipped another cm of the end of the branch at a 45° angle. Then I dipped it in cloning gel, and stuck it back in the water.

Now I wait. It sits on my desk under a 20w tiny bulb desklamp. No clue what spectrum. No temperature control. No humidity dome. No foliar feeding. Just a stick in a jar of water sitting on my desk, like the stick I budded in the post further above except with rooting hormone: As the water evaporates, I should see root growth. (This part could qualify for "Goofy Techniques", too)

Since I took the photos and started typing this thread, there's been a thread of cloning gel forming from the stick to the bottom of the jar. But batteries are dead in cam, and I'm outta cash, and the charger's broken. So no more good pics till I get batteries or a charger. Boo hoo. You'll hafta deal with webcam pics. Which is ok in this case.

Updates as things happen

[Garden Knowm]

scissors...?

how about a razor.... :)

iloveyou

[Volker]

scissors...?

how about a razor.... :) Yes. :D I am aware the a razor is used in "traditional" cloning. But in addition to being a triploid thread, it's also a "el-cheapo no maintenance" cloning thread. Ook ook.

[stinkyattic]

Guys we have to get on top of this triploid-polyploid-whorled phytolaxy confusion.... the 3 branches per node is WHORLED. Polyploid may or may not even manifest itself physically.

The whorled purple star I'v got has FINALLY shown just a tiny bit of side branch development but already I think 3 weeks into flower... looking very purple... but honestly a bit of a lame lanky stick. I'll get some pics if the side growth becomes anything more than lil buddies.

[Volker]

Guys we have to get on top of this triploid-polyploid-whorled phytolaxy confusion.... the 3 branches per node is WHORLED. Polyploid may or may not even manifest itself physically.True dat. Technically, triploid means just an extra half set of chromosones. And quadploid mrean 2 sets. Most commonly used for "seedless" fruits and stuff like that. And triplod x triploid produces sterile(?) diploid offspring. The most common physical manifestation seem to be the triple thing, tho, I think. And etc, etc.

Triploid is just so much easier to say and spell, and sounds more descriptive to the layman, than alternating whorled phytolaxy.

[stinkyattic]

The most common physical manifestation seem to be the triple thing, tho, I think. ......
I was under the impression that polyploidy in cannabis, when physically expressed, tends to show as single-bladed leaves similar to 'stress leaves'




Triploid is just so much easier to say and spell, and sounds more descriptive to the layman, than alternating whorled phytolaxy.
yeah but confusing since a whorled plant is not necessarily that way as a result of a polyploid condition.

[Volker]

I was under the impression that polyploidy in cannabis, when physically expressed, tends to show as single-bladed leaves similar to 'stress leaves'You mean something like this?

[stinkyattic]

Yeah!
That plant is fucked. I'm surprised it even survived that long!

[Garden Knowm]

that's not a plant, that is one of those stick bugs that pretends to be a plant..

:)

[Volker]

Again, not really a freak, but interesting nonetheless...

I do vermiculture (worm bucket) to get my organic fertilizer for free. I tumble it once or twice a day to aid in the decomp of the vegetable matter I throw in there. Tonight, when I opened up the lid to toss in some used tea leaves, I saw some neat stuff!

On the left is some form of myocilial growth. It's a transparent tube that just arcs across. On the right is a hairy spikey purplish greyish mushroom thing. Tres cool! So cool I had to get a closer look.

[dutch.lover]

Stinky: I have a plant with the fused leaf blade/s. it's the only leaf like that, it looks pretty cool. plants growing perfect tho and no more abnormalities to speak of. cool thread btw.

[Tokudai]

Well this ones kinda freaky, or maybe not - I haven't grown from seed that often. It's a bagseed thats anywhere from 5-25 years old, just found it rolling around at the bottom of a desk drawer and threw it into germination. Germed in 1 day, but took forever to pop out of the ground, and then another 10 days of just the cotyledons (sp?). It looks like it topped itself at the first node, but there is a tiny tiny set of leaves on that middle nub. In these pics it is 27 days old, and just now am I noticing any type of real growth between days. Since I got some room I figured I'd let it go and see if its a she

[Abattoir Dream]

i bet that mushroom is linked to the tube or somethin underground,

did you know the largest living organism known to man is a mushroom... you woulda thought it would be a tree, the mushrooms were thought to be growing seperately, until someone made the discovery and found one giant organism growing underground, which sent mushrooms up to the surface at night... dunno why lol

heres a link and a quote...

http://www.extremescience.com/biggestlivingthing.htm


In the state of Washington U.S.A. in the foothills of Mount Adams, a specimen of the fungus Armillaria ostoyae covers 1,500 acres and seems to be 400-1,000 years old. This is the largest living organism in the world.

When I used to mow lawns for a living, sometimes I'd find these crazy ass mushrooms at this one house I did every week. They had really weak thin white stalks, and a ribbed brownish colored cap that never opened. The cap was insanely sticky too, so I'd snag the mushrooms by the stem and throw them at things. It was cool, they'd stick and the string-like stem would just hang. By the next day they'd be shriveled up into something that looked like a small piece of dogshit lol. Fungus is crazy.

[Volker]

Yes, I know it's whorled phytolaxy, and not triploidy. Anyway, first roots are forming on the tri-node clone.

[stinkyattic]

Very neat! Are you changing the water regulary?

[Volker]

Very neat! Are you changing the water regulary?I changed the water once after 3 days. Going to change it once more over the weekend. I'm taking no special care of it. I wrapped a piece of construction paper around the jar, and set it on a table in the back where it gets an hour of sunlight, then ambient room light.

Tentative timetable:
1.7 - change water, weak worm tea.
1.14 - set into dirt, same location.
1.21 - set to veg, 24/7 in the aquarium.

Dunno where I'm gonna take it from there. Depends if the branches on the clone display the same tri-node thing, and if it's a girl. By then I should know sex on the parent plant (http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=92941).

[stinkyattic]

cool I'm planning on revegging my whorled purple star and cloning, or pollinating her wiht something... maybe a white rhino.. those were full of mutations... see what happens just for hahas

[Garden Knowm]

i'd ike to run naked through your garden... LOL

[kindprincess]

my sage has the poly ploid thing going... after several weeks, she ends up have 3 and 5 blade leaves, but they're hit and miss... let me see if i got a pic...

hmm, seems i don't, however, it comes through in all of her clones, and the one bbxsage that i tested popped, and it now shows the same charachteristic! so i'm kinda excited; the pix i've seen of S.A.G.E. are single bladed, and the only thing i know about mine is it came from a bag of stuff my ex said was S.A.G.E. (but, he's a bs artist...). the smoke was very trippy and happy, even spacey... i'll snap a pic of the bbsage in a sec...

[kindprincess]

bbxsage...

[Volker]

Once more, not a true freak, but pretty & interesting.

I checked on the ladies, and I saw one of the buds close to the lights is starting to show p¡nk. Looking closer about the plant, I noticed other buds were starting to throw out the occasional p¡nk hair. I certainly hope this becomes more pronouced; I love it when ladies show p¡nk! :D

[bud luv]

Here's a clone whom only it's mother could love...

[Tokudai]

bbxsage...
Neat - I have a tomato (Rutgers Select) that just popped and it looks just like that - three "starter" leaves.. What is its significance, structure like this - is it considered a desired trait for some reason or just a chernobyl freak? ;)

[Volker]

I couldn't upload pics for the past few days for some reason, but anyway...

I didn't mess with the clone thing since these things work best unsupervised. So when I next checked - day 11 - I thought the root development was good enough for dirt, so in it went. In my excitement, I didn't take pics until after I had it in.

So now it sits in the back room, slowly chugging away (I hope) while I pretty much ignore it.

[Garden Knowm]

Volker... you don't clone?

[Volker]

Volker... you don't clone?:D Nope. I'm a seed grower. I figure if the stick in a jar can bud, a stick in a jar with rooting gel can clone.

[HiProGlow]

Here's a couple of pictures...my mutant if you will. All of my plants have grown from their center on up...this one, however, had some kind of freak leaf in the center that prevented its' growth from that spot. Now, to compensate, the plant has begun to grow out from the sides. As a result, the side growth is now higher than the center growth which stopped two nodes ago. The plant was not burned, harmed or topped, just freak genetics I guess. Any ideas? Pictures aren't too clear, sorry. Peace.

[stinkyattic]

hipro, I've seen that before too.
It's a neat trait... more bushiness in less time! lol
I have wondered what causes it too.. it has to be some failure of apical dominance; that is, the propensity of the main growing tip to always remain so until cut, at which time it ceases to release the hormones that supress other potential shoot sites.

[mackSwell]

that's not a plant, that is one of those stick bugs that pretends to be a plant..

:)



That totally cracked me up, and I'm not even high.

[Volker]

...it has to be some failure of apical dominance; that is, the propensity....Woo hoo! Another new term w/explanation! Cool! Thanky, baby!

[BlazenHerbs]

Howdy everyone,
Just thought I would post a cpl pics of some mutant plants. This was the first time using jiffy peat pellets, and will also be my last. I germed 8 plants in them pellets, of the 8 only 3 have survived. All 3 are mutant in some way or another.
pic 1. is a plant that sprouted on Jan. 20th. growth has been painfully slow and its got 3 heads :wtf:
pic 2. is a plant that sprouted on the 23rd and is well just plain ugly
pic 3. sprouted Jan25th is the only one that looks fairly healthy, even though its very slow in growing and is very small for its age.
Just thought i would share my mutant plants with everyone. :jointsmile:
I figure they are still green and i've got room for them, so i might as well let them live. :thumbsup:
Keep em green :weedpoke:

There's my freak :D

weakly vegged then thrown into flower with the rest of the girls...

Total yield was about 1/2 an ounce dry .

[RedEye69]

This plant is 4 weeks old and just started showing this weirdness. It has extra little blades growing out of the middle of all the new leaves. The first picture has a total of 12 blades.They're all even numbered now. This is from a seed of some Mexican brick weed. Anyone seen this before and know what causes it?

Heres the freak we have in the backyard, for some reason it just started to flower, we didnt tend to it much at first untill it started to, i hope it grows some buds before its done..... :rastasmoke:

[stinkyattic]

TWR... Flush that puppy!!! Purple petioles could be a sign of nutrient lockout or def... flush and then feed with a complete fert, since it's flowering a flower fert lol.

[postmandave]

heres another one ,this was mobays big bud .the postman

[stinkyattic]

oh hey postman i was hoping someone would post one of those axial bud shots... imo that is the COOLEST mutation of cannabis!

[Abattoir Dream]

is that a bud instead of a leaf blade?!? hahaha frankenstein!!

[ice#1]

heres a couple of pics of a plant i had awhile back it lived for all most 3 months but never got any bigger if i rember right it was swazi skunk only one out of 10 freebies that germed

[BeforeYourTime]

Another freaky leaf.

[Oh F Yeah]

What is this called? See at the top where there are two sets of leaves going left and right then another going away. This is a Leda Uno that, when it was just a seedling, was actually cut clean in half at the stem. I just poked a hole in the soil with my pinky and stuck it in there and it took root. It's a fighter for sure!

[stinkyattic]

This is hanayama's variegated plant! I just HAD to post the pic here. Zoom in and you can see that it's 3 distinct colors with a nice crisp separation between zones. COOL!

[hanayama]

she is about 3 1/2 weeks old
leaves started off small, yellow coloring grew with the plant

[hydrocannabis]

here is a pic of my freak to inter in the freak show here.

So this pix is from a few days ago. and she is now growing a stem out of her buds.

so hopfuly I can re-veg her enought to get big. so when I flower her I can get the most bud off her. so I say I'll try to veg her for around 1 an 1/2 months more then flower her and see how she dose then.

[hanayama]

looks like you beat me to it stinky!!

hopefully she is a she so i can clone
should be able to tell pretty soon

[FlyGuyOU]

the same plant thats got the yellow try-leaf also has one where there are 8 fingers. Very cool. hanayama and herreric and I just got back getting cloning jell, so now we are about to start a new adventure. ill post of pic of the 8 leaf in a min

[hanayama]

update on my freaky lady.
she has multiple 8 leafers
and a couple 9 leafers too!

GOD I HOPE SHE IS A SHE!!

[texas grass]

shes(hopefully she) in the same soil concoction and same age as the other sw99 but she has atleast twice the growth and some odd leaves

enjoy

[sarah louise]

This little Afghan sprout never really did anything... when I planted out the siblings I left her sitting under a larger plant. I brought her inside and put it under a couple of 26W CFL's a few days ago, otherwise she was snail fodder.

Strange looking little thing.

I like the looks of that!

[ganjabro]

hey i jus germinated ma seeds n found one to be a triploid it looks so beautiful..hahha:jointsmile:

[stinkyattic]

Technically, that is called whorled phyllotaxy, which is the term for when a plant has more than 2 sets of leaf/secondary growth growing at each node, instead of 2, which is simply 'opposite phyllotaxy', or 1, which is 'alternating phyllotaxy'.
Triploid would mean that the plant has 3 chromosomes- impossible to determine without rather expensive equipment or complicated breeding tests.

[smpaz420]

here is one, one of the smallest leaves growing forward...

[PlainJane]

Not a "freak" per se, but probably not too common. I planted 4 seeds and 5 little heads popped up. That's a pretty cool germination rate, 125% :thumbsup:

I separated the twins after about a week and one is definitely slower/smaller but it seems healthy enough.

Fantastic thread I find these freaks very interesting I think they shoud be encouraged You never know that something wild and fantastic might come from these something you might never get from a clone of clone of a clone

I wondered about the mention of a albino plant in the first post imagine a different colour leaved plant one that perhaps absorbs a different part of the light spectrum to produce its goods
These things are fun
This forum is great ,most of the info is way above my head you guys take things to extremes but all the answers are here if the search facility is used
I grow chilis I dont have the nerve to grow the real deal but the info on cutting edge led,s and suchlike things is far ahead of the humble chili forums every time I google a chili question I seem to bump into this site
I often think that a lot of the chili growers grow chilis as a cover to hide the real crop from familys etc

I have a few plants that have mutant shade leaves......Happens for a short while during the plants life..... the leaves have 3 blades and some times 1 blade....

Has anyone seen this before??? this is only my second run... Also have to mention that this plant is from a bagseed...
Is this signs of stress to the plant?
After a couple of weeks new growth has normal looking leaves.



I don't have pics but I'll try to take some if anyone needs to see what I'm talking about:smokin:
