I'm just taking a shot in the dark here.
It seems to me that the plants look a bit odd because the nodes are intermittent. In the veg stage you get 2 leaves, then 2 more leaves a node higher etc.
When a plant goes into bloom the nodes become intermittent. So instead of 2 leaves at a time you get one at a time. That's what gives bud sites that zigzag stem appearance.
It is quite possible that the creators of these cuttings took them from a plant that was in flower and reverted them back to the veg stage by turning the lights back to 18/6.
This would keep the intermittent leaf production. Perhaps it might begin to revert to 2 leaf veg nodes in time. I'm not sure on that as I never experienced it.

Anyway, there is my 2 cents on this matter. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong... who knows. Maybe someone else might have a definite answer. I'm just going on what I see.

Take care.

Some of my plants are symmetrical and perfect, others have no matching branches. The ones from seeds grew more symmetrical.

As long as they flower...

[silent leprechaun]

That really is all that matters. Bloom bloom bloom my little babies !

Dont worry, I'm sure you won't end up with some mutant weed

symmetrical branching occurs in plants grown from seed. Once the plant reaches sexual maturity you will notice that the branches then start to alternate. Some will even show pre flowers during this time, allowing you to sex before you flower. Most plants from clone will have alternating nodes it just indicates that the plant is mature(thats why you can see pre flowers)


The clone you have was subjected to 12/12 or some other sort of wierd lighting schedule that triggered flowering. It had to revert back to vegetative growth, restarting the plant. The plant will grow 1 bladed leaves, then three, then five, ect
Just as if you just sprouted a seedling and were watching it grow again. give it a few weeks and you wont even know it ever happened.

Not a mutant, just a little tarted If its really a pre 98 bubba you have something very special.

thats happen to me b4 it was cuz i did'nt have enough lights on them once i put more lights they came out fine.
i notice after i put more lights in they started getting 5 fingers..

Thanks guys, i really thought i was growing like a some weird plant. hahaha. They are starting to shoot out five leafers now. The guys i got them from said that they were pre 98 bubba kush clones. this is my first grow i also got a master kush growing as well. Im using two t5 grow lights and ten 100watt cfls. seems to be working good.

That has happened to me too with my clones. I am still growing the same strains (clones) and they are normal looking. I made sure that I did not take cuttings from the ones that had the second gen appearance (effect).

Raycruit: your plants will be just fine. When I saw your pics, they looked to be full second gen plants. I agree with the others that when the cuttings were taken, the plant was probably in bud cycle or the plant was hit with a weird lighting schedule. As for Bubba Kush, I have never grown it until just recently. I am running a test of a new strain called Qush. It is space queen crossed with pre 98 bubba kush. Real excited to see the end result. Got the seeds from subcool to do a test run.

save some of them seeds. Im sure your gunna find something special. :thumbsup:
A real pre 98 bubba is A+ quality smoke. smell so unique that there is no imitation for the real thing.

I would be tar and feathered in public square just in order to snag some Bubba genetics haha

I will keep some of those seeds, at least 5 of them. I have never grown the real pre-98 Bubba Kush. There are a couple of reputable growers that I know that do have it and have offered me cuttings. I just may take them up on that offer, because I keep hearing about the pre-98 BK being the whoop. I don't typically accept cuttings from others due to the possibility of contamination.

Here is a picture of the Qush package.

I have two seedlings growing now. In about 5 months, providing at least one of the two are female, I will start a thread on it and show some pics.
