Got a H.S.O. Black D.O.G mutant ......

Triploid I believe

No trifoliate, triploid is gene related.

Nice. .

Yes, some plants carry this gene. Just like the ducksfoot gene

no, though the plant shows the phenotype and it is a genetic expression carried by a seed, it is not triploid. Triploid is having three sets of two chromosomes. Trifoliate could be carried by a diploid or triploid seed, but is indicative of neither is my understanding. Every green plant has the genetic potential to be purple. Every plant as well as humans have the potential for dwarfism and gigantism in the genome.

I had one just like this, it produced normally.

Unless the parents dont have it anywhere in the DNA which is passed on. Possible? Sure, but not very likely. Thats why you can have hundreds or thousands of offspring and it may never present itself unless one of the parents have it. Cannabis is a good example. Can some cannabis turn purple when exposed to cooler temperatures? Yes. Does this mean it applies to all cannabis? No. If the genetic marker isn't present its no more likely to occur than growing wings and flying.
Think of it his way. Can humans get cancer? Yes. Do all humans have cancer? No. Why? Because we know that certain people have genetic markers which make them more predisposed to getting cancer, genetic testing has taught us this. Environmental factors can increase odds but we know this isn't the case with cannabis otherwise we would be able to create three leaved plants on a whim. So much like the triploid or ducksfoot or the crinkle leaf, these are all genetic traits passed on.

Mine was from fem seed and yielded normal, can't remember if it was Blackwater Kush or Deadhead OG. Anyways it was a cali connect strain, one of those two.

How about this one. Anybody ever have this happen. Thank god it’s only a back up plant

That's happened to me before when the seed failed to open usually it was not a good sign but who knows what will happen. If you whisper sweet nothings to it it might grow strong

This is an interesting one. I think the plants that turn purple when exposed to cold have a lesser amount of chlorophyll pigment and more xanthanin and xanthofil pigment. They may also have chlorophyll that dies off at a higher temperature threshold compared to another plant- that may have gotten there through a climate based evolutionary process. A true purple plant will have dominant xanthofil and xanthanin pigmentation. Chlorophyll will still be present, or should be- I have never heard of testing this out. Why would a plant be purple? What would be the benefit of that? Maybe it doesen't get eaten by bugs or some kind of animal because it looks or tastes different?

Looks like a blind plant. Sometimes you will get a plant with an undeveloped apical meristem. No growing point, its the brain of the plant pretty much.

Maybe it was pleasing to the human eye and that is why.

I have a triploid growing right now and was just talking to another RUI member who has one too. Mine is looking more male every day. If I get pollen from it...I'll run some seeds to see if it carries through to the next generation.had a few, never had one turn out female though
