Everyone loves a FREAK... the mutant thread!

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.

wow that's cool man.

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:

Hi, weed_smoka. Welcome.

lol sorry
i ment "that's cool babe"
thanks TGF

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.

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

Only for compost heaps and the OUTDOOR garden!

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

more pics of that stange leafed plant plz

[attachment=o104839]

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

Shov

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

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

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

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?

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.

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?

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.

Fasinating!

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

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

cool

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

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

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?

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

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

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

brooke

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

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...

here's from the top...

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!).

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...:)

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.

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.

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.

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?
