Twins? Anyone Seen This Bfore?

I swear only one seed went into that cup! Soil wasn't recycled either. Should I let em both go? Any other plant, and it'd be considered a "sucker" and get yanked, but here I'm not so sure.


This is day 3 since planting straight after soaking in water about 12 hours...2 x NL, 2 x NLX (GSA), 2 x WR. I think after poor germination (and low female)rates with homegrown LR2 that the professional seeds are worth the $. :thumbsup:

Finally, after getting males, hermies and a bunch of duds, I got a girl LR2, but now I don't remember exactly what day I planted, 5/22? So I'll say it's....day....mmm...21.

you should keep a journal so you dont lose track of your days, and that way you can learn from mistakes, or just simply if you forgot something look back in your journal and its their.. im not a grower, but i follow the grow logs on here :D nice looken plant

I have twins growing right now. It's the third pair in less than 3 years. I think they are pretty cool, and always let them go, but I train them apart from each other. Who DOESN'T love twins? :D

Yepp, commercial gene pool keeps getting smaller, weird reproductive anomalies get more frequent...

Stinky, just cause I'm curious, were your twins showing up along a single line ( daughters of a single male that you'd pollinated) or is this starting to show up in commercial breeder lines?

Also, how well matched were phenos of twins? Seem like single male sample + multiple ovum, or zygote split?

Normally I'd assume that somebodies " twins" were the result of reaping what they sow, so to speak, but your technique's pretty clean ( ya geek).

Rhizome, the twins that stinky got were from:
1 unknown bagseed- croaked due to nOObness
1 Akita freebie (anna C x stankonia) from seedboutique- the twins were IDENTICAL, beautifully matched, healthy, and both females.
1 Northen Lights growing atm from the Nirvana Standard line. These twins are certainly NOT identical.
I have never had twins in my own line. The closest I can say I have come to a mutant in my stuff is a leaf profile that is nearly triangular. Pics are in the foxysox log. It's a nice looking plant.

Wow, it's reasssuring to know there are other mutants out there. I was just wondering if the roots will tangle and kill them off...but it sounds like they'll be okay.

Yes, who DOESN'T love twins...but as in my own unfortunate life, I can't be the meat in their sandwich either!

That twin is Growshop Alien's NLX...in case anyone's keeping tabs on these anomolies! Hopefully I'll be able to show you some mature pictures later on.

SRSLY? You don't say... hmmm...

:jointsmile:WOW!!!! Imagine like fourtwins together(don´t know how it´s called) you know what i mean, one fourtwin plant? Just like those four babies that are born all together!!!!

quadruplets? No, the twin is NLX. It's still going strong...I've already transplanted it to a 1 gallon pot. thanks,

ok let me make sure im getting this right...2 plants grow from one seed? if so are the roots one and how does ith make 4 of the round leafs that first come out (forget what there called) i thought that was the inside of the seed......either way thats crazy it can do that i had no idea...:rastasmoke:

yup...i only put in one seed and two came out...apparently it's a phenomenon others have witnessed. I don't know if they'll turn out the same sex or not.

I haven't even thought about dissecting it to find out what's going on in the roots, at least until I know it's a male.

on the plant in the far right corner...the growth on the bottom is actually a separate plant. don't have any closeups now...
