Females with whorled phyllotaxy

Just learned about the proper name for this trait the other day thanks to the forum admin. I’ve also read it’s much more common in males. I’ve had this crop up on two plants so far. One of them is a sprout, and one of them I just harvested. Thought it was weird that this cut has that triangular branching pattern but did not have any technical knowledge of what was going on. This trait/mutation/whatever really showed its worth when the plant started flowering. Because of the extra branches and triangular arrangement, the colas are impressive.

So here are my questions. Is this actually whorled phyllotaxy or am I mistaken? I’m slowly getting to the point where I’ll want to try some chucks soon, and I’m also wondering whether this condition excludes this cut from potential breeding projects. Here’s a pic of one of the buds, where you can see the triangular arrangement really well. Obviously this is a really good cut, with big, dense, frosty buds and nice terps, but is she best kept as a high producing clone or is she suitable for something more? This strain is called snake oil — comes from greenpoint. F1 of biodiesel and stardawg, if that matters at all.
