So is this a desirable trait?

I've had a few and thought the plant might have a virus or fungus problem. But its a good thing?
Assuming it is not the result of some type of infection and as long as it doesn't hinder the growth or overall development, I think it's just an aesthetic peculiarity. Since the Christmas Tree Bud has been inbred for about 40 years, this may be the result of some recessive genetics popping out. The plant has visibly more trichome coverage throughout the fan leaves compared to the other CTB plants, so there might be a genetic link between these two traits. Whether or not it is a desirable trait remains to be seen. I'll definitely update the thread if I see any issues come up as a result.

Yeah man those autos look good for real, but like I said ima photoperiod guy and those Christmas Tree and Chem D beans are hollering at me in my sleep!
The same way you are about photos is how I feel about autos... I started growing regs but all I was getting was males... I had never heard of an auto plant besides where they make cars!!! XD Watching them grow FAST and FURIOUSLY had me hooked... Now I'm trying to get this fem and photo thing figured out... It's all the same,but really different when you think about the speed of the grows... In the end though, depending on the strains that you have, regs and fems will get you more buds for the simple fact that you have a longer period of growth... But those are my thoughts, I really don't know if it's true for a fact... But I will say this, autos are high maintenance... Everything has to be done right or they will shit on you

"And is isn't an auto....hint..hint..you guys"
If you know more about something than someone else does, like you guys know more about photos than I do, and if they or i ask a question ,don't you feel obliged to explain it??? This is by no means a knock on useful, I would be a fool to do something like that... Sorry for trying to do what you all have done for me... It seems like I'm dammed if I do, and dammed if I don't... Shit!!!

my issue with autos is the main thing they are good for i actually am against, which is outdoor use. i don't want any auto pollen out in the open in legal states man. that shit is a serious concern if it gets unnoticed into the gene pool of legit nurseries in the local areas. the only other purpose imo for an auto is to pop a bean right away because you are impatient waiting for your regs to veg out lol. anyway, to each their own, ik you euros love your autos, but i'd rather you keep them indoors if you come to the states. to me we should all worry about large outdoor guerilla grows of autos

Anyways... This is what it is all about... I apologize to you Useful for talking about something other than photos or fems on your thread ,i just thought I'd share some of the little bit of knowledge that I have gained in the eight months that I have been growing... 1541011376283476993512.jpg 1541011419831274209483.jpg 15410114782251013317989.jpg

seen on IG the DNA boys standing in a field of female seeds of theirs in Spain, huge outside field and in the comments, some, not sure if locals, were making a big deal about let some hermie and any local landraces be forever screwed or something like that.
