Three cotyledons.

[Earthy Dank]

Hey I had a sprout come up with three cotyledons instead of two. I was wondering how this might affect yeild/growth of the plant. Also i was wondering how common this is among plants.

Howdy Earthy Dank,

Well..sometimes it's a sign of a poly-ploided plant. I don't think it's that common,so I'd treat the plant with extra care,just in case.

Have a good one !:stoned:

is it genetic? And if so could i try to find a male and female and breed? I have 100's of these seeds

and what exactly is a poly-ploided plant? The little seeding is about 2 weeks old and has grown about 50% faster than all the others. Its my favorite of the bunch definatly.

Howdy Earthy Dank,

Well I did a quick search on 'polyploid' and this is part of what I found:

polyploid. In genetics, possessing three or more sets of chromosomes in cases
where the normal complement is two sets (diploid). ...

Polyploidism,can occur naturally,or be induced,like some folks do,in regards to marijuana..all I know is,is that the last polyploid weed I toked,kicked my ever-lovin behind ! lol I used to live in Austin and the college kids that were in plant biology,used to do it to the weed..probably still do.

I hope this answers yer question a little better

Have a good one ! :stoned:

Very interesting stuff... Thanks, Now i gotta figure out how to induce polyploids. I just transplanted it to a bigger pot and it took to it well. I can always tell because they "follow" the sun when they are growing. Its fun to watch :dance:

Hmmmm . . . If I had a two-week old plant that was growing 50% faster than it's related sisters, I'd suspect that it's a male. Especially if it's getting a bit "leggy" between nodes. I've had sprouts come up with more than two seed leaves. The only thing I remember about them is that they had three (or four) cotyledons. Otherwise there was nothing special about them.

three or four.. I'd have to see a picture... but yeah its growing fast but more fat than lanky. Better root and leaf development. I'm optimisitc because the growth doesn't decide sex. I've had some fast growing females and probably will this year too
