Weeping phenotype 'Neo' Upstate NY 2023

[xabq]

I found this "weeping" individual in the 2023 evaluations at the USDA germplasm repository. Of 15 individuals from the cultivar 'Neo', only one had this architecture (or lack thereof). The plant was otherwise completely healthy (no obvious pathogens or damage).

No idea why, but it looks like auxin transport and potentially a mutation in the LAZY gene or gravity sensing pathway. Has anyone else ever seen this?

Wow, that's amazing looking. Plus those plants have such a short growing season. Did they finish all the way?

I'm growing them for research, not any production. A lot of east Asian materials didn't flower until middle Oct!

This is a research project and there are several hundred acres of hemp grain production around this field.
