3 cotyledon leaves???

[robjohnson]

Is it normal for some blueberry or romulan seeds to have 3 cotyledon leaves?? Also, instead of 2 normal leaves forming after the cotyledon leaves, theres 3!!! ill post a pic later, i have to fix my camera.

It's not normal for any seed to do that, it's rare. Some chemicals can be applied to seeds to make them do this, but mostly it happens on it's own, on rare occasions. There's nothing wrong with it though, it will be bigger and bushier and yield more. I want to see pics!

it's a common mutation, keep it around. it'll look cool but i dont think it will yield more. Mutations are rarely beneficial

i believe it's called tri-lateral branching

look that up

That plant is a polyploid. Its a complicated concept but it basically means that instead of being a diploid(2 sets of Chromosomes) your plants has an extra set which makes it a triploid. Theoretically this will mean that the plant will grow and yeild a third more than a diploid. I had a triploid my second season and it grow to be 7 foot tall by may (meaning it had almost 6months untill harvest). It would have been over 20 foot tall but it was found by my dad and ripped out of the ground...... I didn't talk to him for over a month after that... I also had a clone (my first successful clone) of it which he killed.
You can induce polyploidyism by spraying it with a chemical found in the bulbs of the autumn crocus but the chemical is extremely toxic so i wouldn't spray anything with it.

wrong, you have the deffinition right, but you have the wrong mutation.

what you have is called an alternating whorled phytolaxy.

here's pix of a black dom phytolaxy i had last time around. attempting to reveg her outdoors...

[robjohnson]

ok cool, so its kinda like a four leaf clover....i know what to name it...lets hope its a girl! but thanks for the info guys, ill look all that up...and ill post a picture tomorrow.

We are talking about two different mutations, and it could be either one.

Polyploids

i don't think so sweetie. read this, see what stinky has to say...

there is a big time discussion on the differences between a plant with an extra set of chromisomes, which may or may (and usually doesn't) manifest itself physically, and a phytolaxy.

hope this helps clear it up.

lol you do love sayin that dont you? when i said its a triploid/polyploid wateva, u sed that too...

like it matters? it has three leaves...lol the end...

[Scarlet Sky]

it does matter.

you don't see me posting pix of a tomato plant and saying that its a plant, it will bud, do you?

there are reasons these things have different terms, and ignorance make us as a populace look unitelligent, and not respectable. if we want to stand our ground on legalization issues, we need to have our shit together.

and know what we're talking about...
