3 chutes per node

[Nugachino]

I've had a triploid before too. Was one of my first attempts. Got to about the 5th set of leaves before being killed by some dumbass who goes by the name Nugachino...

Another common guess but, no it's not. Your thinking triploid. A triploid has 3 sets of chromosomes and is sterile. Examples of triploidy or triploid plants are seedless watermelons and seedless grapes. Tripliods are sterile and can not reproduce.

Just looked it up.... Were both right lol polyploid has more than the usual 2 chromosomes which includes triploid ( three sets) or quadraploid (4 sets)

btw sry all abought my spelling! Lol

whorled phylotaxis and polyploid (tri, quad, anything more than two sets of chromosomes) are not the same thing.

this isn't new and not exactly special, just neat looking if it's your first one. once reaching sexual maturity, the plant will alternate and no more three node stuff. cuttings of a mature plant will be normal with alternating nodes as well. in other words, they grow out of it.

it's not a reliable breeding trait, as the offspring of two phylotaxis has the same chance of producing more whorled phylotaxis as breeding two random normal plants would; about 1000:1.

@Dr. Who had it right from the get-go

how do you know it was triploid if it didn't flower? poly's don't really show until blooming, and buds get a monstrose cactus look...

Well put - other side of the coin and very usable info for the OP!

They grow real slowly and tend to be less in the quality dept. also. No matter what that idiot on the net says about Poly's.
Buddha seeds in Spain did a whole bunch of poly work. They started out excited and then simply dropped the whole idea, as they were next to impossible to work with, slow, and had loss in quality from each breeding "attempt".

that was my experience too, and the caterpillar buds are much more prone to budrot and pm than normal. every poly i've had was culled, pita picky fuckers with lower yield and quality. not something one would want to replicate, lol

I've seen poly flower plants - lots.
Only 1 poly cannabis plant, and that was back in the 70's. It was a nightmare as it was from chemical treatment of seeds - can't use that plant to consume - you have to breed it and the results sucked too....
Nice to look at. That's about it....

Uh... maybe because it had three sets of leaves growing with each node. Not the usual two. It even had three cotyledons.

did not know that the whorled photothingamgiger wasnt a true poly tnks. Have herd of secrets of the pink kush almost bought it once the discription reminds me of the celestine prophecy which was exelent. When i got to whare they say inside is proof that giants exist i changed my mind lol. im sure the botany part is good though

that is called whorled phylotaxy, not triploid. most people don't know the difference, but it is a major one. a triploid will not have three sets of leaves or cotyledons.

Well there you fucken go. That's my lesson for the day mr cat.
