Did my girl top herself?

All my other plants are growing straight up but this one split into two main lines! Should i train the two main lines to grow outward instead of upward?
That's interesting, you're the 3rd or 4th post like this in the last couple of months. Maybe it's not all that uncommon.

yep mutations happen. I have a buddy with one thats growing 3 leaves and branches at every node point instead of 2.
It looks like your outside. In that case i would train them all into the biggest bushes possable.... Lots of topping. Indoors i would say try to train them all to have an even canopy. Tops all the same height

It didn't top itself. One of the off shoots will probably still be the dominant. I'd bet it'd be the right off shoot in picture #2. Let it grow like the other plants. Or top both of those.
 
If you're going to scrog her , yes.

Yeah, the right one is dominant, i was thinking about just training those two chutes to grow out and away from each other. They're battling each other for light if i just let them be. I've never topped any plants before and my only guides are blogs and YouTube lol. Makes me nervous

Drink a beer. Relax. Clean some scissors or trimmers. Deep breath and clip it. You're right and I was thinking it too. They might battle and if tied to far out they'll jam into the other plants.

From the look of it. You'll probably have to tie the branches together to keep them from falling apart in mid to late flower.

This plant I am growing right now split off pretty much immediately and now it looks like 2 plants. I will post a picture of how it looks now when I get home.20170428_170925.jpg

Natural mainline? Imagine if this was bred into all strains, potential for higher than normal yields? Mainlining with less stress? I wonder..

Once in a while, you will get a plant that does this split. IMO, This is a genetic twin. You will now have 2 main colas just as if the plant had been topped. Both colas will match each other throughout entire grow and will be equally strong. These are random just like twins in humans.
