Weird Mutation LH

Hi, On one cola, and only one cola of a mainlined lemon haze, has formed a mutation. I haven't seen anything like this and an internet search turned up empty. My question is, she is two weeks into flower. I would assume that the bud on this will be massive so do I let it finish, or take it as a clone and try for a whole plant like this. The only issue I see is that there are no shoots on this cola, only bud sites at the leaf node. Anyway, back to the mutation, it looks like three shoots? have fused together as there are three fan leaves at each node. This is one side of the original second node where it was topped and mainlined. Yes, I know that you are supposed to take it off, but I kept it on. If I do take it as a cutting, I would think that it would only be one main 4' cola when it finishes down the road. What do you all think?

Ya i think your seeing the unmistakeable signs of whorlled phylotaxy from the slow loss of apical dominance.

Its stress of some kind i know not what, its not desirable :-)

I've seen this before. It'll finish without a problem so I'd just leave it. Aside from that it doesn't offer any special advantages worth the hassle of trying to clone it off of a flowering plant anyway. Or at all really.

Its not a breedable trait, mainly the bud taste like crap from all the extra stem and leaf.
