triploid plants do happen sometimes with gdp i've seen it a handful of times i'd say about 1/100 grats hopefully its female.

Thanks! You have grown alot of this strain. I know females will not seed. But I don't know about males, are they fertile? If I use the triploid pollen will it make seed on a normal female?

Triploid males do give pollen. And yes you do get seeds if you use triploid pollen.
I have done it. Got some great new strains out of it.
Had one that smelled, tasted strong like orange bitter. Got me 300 seeds out of that plant and some good smoking stuff.

Thanks xX, that was my original question just didn't anticipate someone who has already done it. got a lot of nonsense before getting to the meat.
Thanks again.

That looks like a conjoined twin.
It is odd that the cotyledon aren't equidistant. I've had 3 triploids but none at 90°out and a blank side. Keep us posted. I might actually post something to for the odd, unique, or mutated plants. I've got one that just, well... she ain't right. She's growing ok but her leaves,which should have been "normal", aren't. Her sister is growing just fine

Johiem, I don't understand "the cotyledon aren't equidistant". Looking at this by eye from 6 inches away they are pretty close to equidistant but of course not mathmatically perfect, it is a growing thing. And to further elucidate, the 3 leaves above it are equidistant as are the next set of leaves.

I was just pointing out it is particularly odd that(per the face of a clock) those cotyledon (very first rounded "leaves") are at 12, 3, and 6, rather than 12, 4, and 8. Nothing "wrong" with it just pointing out she may be unique, even among the freaks.

So, a deformed quad?

I just popped some GDP seeds. One was resistant to opening up so I cracked the seed cover. It has cleared the surface and on it were three cotleydon leaves. The first real leaves have now opened. Again there are three. Is this a triploid?

Anyone ever seen this?
Seen it. It's also possible to get three first true leaves, albinism (usually marbled across the plant, or licking a specific leaflet or three), 10-fingered leaves, and my favorite: drooling. Pinkman Goo is legendary for this last trait but is clone only, and the creator ain't cloning shit for nobody, this guy. If I owned Pinkman Goo, no one would believe me when I described what it does.

In short: yes, I've seen that mutation you mentioned. It'll age out of it. I'm starting to think there's nothing this plant can't do, frankly. It's as diverse as it is well loved.

Never seen it, super crazy!
