View attachment 2823731View attachment 2823732View attachment 2823733 this plant has 3 branches coming off of each node on the stem rather than the normal 2 branch nodes, therefore at current stage of grow it has 24 side branches while it's sisters have 16( currently 8 nodes on stem.) My thought was to take clone cuttings from the plant b4 flowering to try to keep the 3 branch characteristic. Therefore i'm looking for informed opinion on whether or not this characteristic would be worth trying to perpetuate . I have just pinched the main stem grow tip to generate 2 cholas. Therefore I will keep the plant veging for another 2 weeks and have time to take clones before changing the light regimen for the flowering period. This is from a feminised Skunk#1 seed, the other 9 in the grow all seem "normal" and healthy, although this 3 branch specimen is noticably more robust in appearance(thicker stem, thicker branches and growing slightly quicker) being grown under one 600W MH and a pair of 600W HPS, Any thoughts appreciated.
Skunk#1 plant with 3 branch nodes off main stem, worth preserving?

Awesome stuff, man very rare I had one with 3 leaves etc when the seed popped. I read up on this 15 years ago and its like one in a million chance, amazing look when the plants first pop they look like little stars. Lol when I found mine I was young and didnt have a spot, eventually some chickens scratched it up and killed it, GL hope shes a yielder.
growing in 12ltr buckets with 50% John Innes compost, 25% perlite, 25% vermiculite. I use a weak hydrogen peroxide solution every 3rd watering and the frowned upon MG 
during veg(with decent results). I also use a weak H202 solution on my cuttings which I feel has greatly increased my success rate and shortened the time they take to root. just sharing here.

I see it fairly frequently with reg seeds, unfortunately its usually been male or females that dont do too well (herm/weird growth etc).
what i'm seeing on the plant now is repeating what you guys have seen , extremely vigorous growth, very thick stems, I guess the next hurdle will be sex. Fem seeds all sisters doing well so I'm hopefull that this weirdo will be fem. I'll know in a few days. Incidentally , I took a second plant from this same batch and topped it using UB's method for 4 cholas as an experiment, the plant now has 4 main cholas, one of which was 6 inches higher thanthe others. So I pinched the grow tip of the high stem(give the others a bit of catch up time and double the chola on that stem.. usually) this stem has gone triple at each node now too. so this plant now has 6 main growing tips.
