This plant put out 3 leaves at its 7th node. Seems healthy but this is strange to me.

Look up POLYPLOID you may have one.

Some don't show poly like growth until they begin to mature.

After further research, I can only guess that it is a mutation, and will probably produce more nodes with 3 leaves or branches. It is hereditary and is a good thing for the most part, since it will naturally be more bushy; but will be shorter than the rest.

A tri-don, or mutant to some, I'm gonna breed from mine, if lucky enough

Had 2 of my plants throw a branch out with 3 nodes. I ended up waiting for them to mature a bit and took those nodes as cuttings. Those cuttings are now being mainlined. Check out the mainlining thread. If you're going to do any topping it might be something to consider.
