Some snips took a week or more ago for safety :biggrin: I cleaned off all my mums. I graded them into bags, misted them put some co2 in and sealed them up & put them into a '24hour photoperiod storage' :whip:

Not sure how related this is.
I was trimming a Pineapple Express 2 with 56 days on it. It came out of a perpetual and matured almost three weeks ahead of schedule, beating out the plant ahead of it in line.

The photos are of leaves pulled off a bud midway down the plant. It originally was thought a calyx had landed on the leaf and stuck.
The calyx would not rub off, it was growing in the center of the leaf. Searching found another.
This is a first for me and I wondered if it is normal or if this plant is an anomaly.
The last picture has a similar leaf without the calyx.

It's got some meds on it for sure :) I've seen strains do this in the past it's quite common. The Skunkman noted an occurrence with that trait in a particular line, I don't remember which it was. I wouldn't say it's unique, it's Sexual Morphology and it's undesireable.

I always wondered if that is what folks used to smoke before the breeders made decent buds, were they smoking the leaf :) and that's what the asphyxiation is with the random palmate leaf shape..


You could clone leafs.. I shit you not about 10 years ago I was growing in a flat and the owner who I knew well wanted me to set one up in his house.

I go round his one day to find that he's only gone and rooted the petioles.. With no primordia :)



Here is another kind of morphology or abnormality.. It don't clone out in twins.
