Plant in question topped once. (correction from previous post)

So after 1 week flowering all the kids look great. The "kushiest" looking one is showing some really strange growth though...


Sorry about the bad resolution but look closely and you can see leaf growth.





The growth looks a lot like the first flowering branches off the main stem.. but they're growing on the fan leaf stems... towards the bottom of the plant, the shoots are closer to the cola. Towards the top, they're popping out closer to the leaf. I sacrificed a top fan leaf for study. again, bad resolution, but you should be able to see what's happening.




For the most part, there are 3-5 of these little leafy shoots per fan leaf that has it, and there are about 10 fan leaves now. (probably more to come as flowering continues)

Female pisils are all over this thing, no bananas or balls though.. I've never seen growth like this before, and i'm kinda freaking out. I found an old mutation from OG called "leaf buds" where a little bud site formed in the middle of the fan leaf. it looks similar, but i can't really tell at this point.

So, old guys, am i looking at a legit mutation? early signs of hermaphrodism?, a pretty common thing on high potency strains? a sign from god? I guess I just want to know if it'll be worth it to flower it out, or if it's showing signs that it needs to die.

I'll tell ya, I had one Blue Mystic that exhibited this type of weird leaf/calyx behavior - she was the most incredible in the bunch.

Evolution or mutation is not always a bad thing... grow her out and see if she's worthy!

Word. I'll take some pictures in a week or two & show it off. Maybe i can isolate the mutation... hrm..... the possibilities...

good news everyone! they're turning out to be little bud sites. 3 of 'em are poking out flowering hairs so far.
