Super Silver Haze with three fingered leaves now?

[TGT]

I received a cut of SSH a year or so ago and it was grown from seed four generations previous to being gifted the cut. I have grown it out twice myself with excellent results. It always displayed five finger leaves, but since the last grow all the clones have three fingered leaves with now a little variegation making itself known. The plants are extremely healthy and have now been in veg for about five weeks (I have high ceilings lol.). Just recently I have noticed the tops of the strongest main branches are showing five leaves, but it is still very rare.

I did take the clones one week into bud so I expected three fingers for the first couple weeks, but now it has been almost two months under a 1000 watt HPS and twenty four hour days, and then with the varagation showing up, I'm lost.

I don't want to loose this strain. It's a huge yielder, produces excellent quality buds and is very potent and being a nine week strain it will prove hard to replace.

Any suggestions or reasons why she could be displaying variegation and three point leaves for so long, please let me know. I am worried I messed up in the cloning process, thus weakening the strain. Thanks.

it happens to me when i reveg...if you clone a plant in budding it usually takes like a month or two months to reveg, that means for that time you will get a lot of 3 bladed leaves till it is completely back into vegetative growth. it sounds like you are just reaching that point now, where you are back to larger blade counts, as you probably know, except for a few strains, pot usually doesn't make single and triple blade leaves after the first few weeks of sprouting until flowering begins. your plants were trying to get back into veg after you cloned them but they still had a foot in the flowering door, and from what i have seen, they don't even begin to reveg untill they root, so revegging from clone could take a bit longer, although usually the earlier into flowering that you reveg, the faster they reveg...either way it should usually always take 1-2 months to COMPLETELY(not that that's always necessary) reveg a budding plant or clone.

Thank you very much señorsloth for your response. For a while there I thought I wasn't going to get any input.

You are probably correct and i am most likely paranoid because I would hate to loose this plant. Just to make sure I took a few pictures that you can examine. It just seems to be taking much longer than normal to look, well... normal.

The first pic is of the plants over-all look. I think she is about seven weeks into veg. The next picture is of it's strange branching pattern that really has nothing to do with the problem as it has always been that way, but I thought it looks unique and had to include it. The last two are of the variegation problem that also appeared at the same time as the three pointed leaves.

Thanks for your time and any input is highly appreciated!

Sorry - I tried to add the pictures, but first had to learn how to take them off my IPad and place them on the PC (Apple does not make it easy, Grrrr!), then change them to JPEG which I didn't have a conversion program so had to install Adobe Photoshop after raiding my home for the disks and then finally converting them for upload. It took about three hours but I finally figured it out. Anyways, here they are....









Any input appreciated.

So, anyone with info on why varagation would just show up recently, anyone?

If not, okay, I also wanted to ask if anyone with SSH experience could chime in and let me know if picture two from above is a normal branching pattern for this strain? This is why I call it my Medusa pheno..

Sorry, double post. But if no one responds I guess I'll change it to a Bump lol.

I have two Dinafem Super Silvers almost a month into flower... one shoot has about half 3 fingered leaves as well... This certain plant is an absolute monster compared to the rest too, and seems to be flowering on par with an 8-9 week bubblegum.. at least a few weeks ahead of the other super silver plant.

What do the 3 fingered leaves mean? I don't know but my plants are super healthy, and only one of the 3 fingered leaves showed that half green/half yellow thing you have going on earlier in veg.

 

[Guest 315072]

heard that the 3 leaf thing out of know nowere is some sort of nutrient problem or bug probleml. or environment i cant remember look it up on google i remembre seeing this!

Any light problems/leaks did you reveg?

 

[Stonedream]

A small light leak makes sense in flower, and could have been a possibility based on the 3 fingered branches location by the zipper in the tent.. but the three leaves showed in veg originally..

I don't believe it's pests either as I've never had anything significant before.. and it's likely not nutrient issues since my plants have been healthy since sprouting and going through a month and a half veg..

random mutation? hmmm I wonder if those buds will be any different. I'll let you know.

 

[TGT]

I know for a fact there is no light leaks and no pests so I ruled them out, but thanks for the suggestion. I originally thought it was from taking cuttings one week into bud which would normally cause this, but for some reason it just keeps on putting out the three leaf pattern. It has now been two months under 24 hour light, but she still continues. The plants are extremely healthy and are to be flowered as soon as I repot. I'll post pictures as she progresses.

I find it odd this albino trait along with the three leaves appeared at the same time, and I still can't figure out why. It is possible the albino trait was there before and I just didn't notice, although I think that is a small chance since I inspect my plants thoroughly and regularily.

It is good to here others with SSH have noticed this albino trait so it must be strain related. Anyone else notice albino half leaflets with SSH?

Anymore input please feel free, it is much appreciated. I'll be flowering her out soon so in the mean time if anyone has some pictures of SSH by any breeder please post. Thanks!

It could be like what you said cuttings a week into flower but I wouldn't think so. I've had cutting do that. Let's see how they turn out. Could be not bad LOL.

 

[TGT]

Thanks Hank Hemp, i'll be triggering them at the starting of next week. I'll keep the thread updated.

It has now been two months under 24 hour light.

We have that in common.. I also vegged mine for over a month and a half under 24 hr light...

 

[JazzJazz]

My SSSDH did the same thing...I'm sure it was because of low light conditions when vegging mom's. I was only using 65 watt flours ( multiple bulbs ) and both my clone mom's were basically all 3 leaves..You are vegging with alot more light tho..Mine flowered great so you should have no worries except maybe lower yield.

Cheers.
