White Widow with whorled phyllotaxy

slightlysober Still have it sitting in the Grobo indoors. Gonna transplant soon to a 5 gallon and sit it outside throughout vegetation. Probably gonna bring it inside for flowering.

slightlysober Transplanted outside

slightlysober This plant’s growing along nicely. The only odd thing about how it’s grown (besides the whorled phyllotaxy) is one leaf grew lower down a bit from the opposite two and only grew in with two fingers. The next set of leaves all grew in normally at an even height and had five fingers. The current set growing in appears to be growing normally as well. Not sure what’s up with the two-fingered leaf.

slightlysober Not really sure what this plant is doing. It was consistently growing the leaves in threes, but then it randomly grew two leaves next to each other for a total of four leaves in the newest set. It also appears from the top that there’s more than 3 leaves growing in for the next set. From what I’ve read of whorled phyllotaxy, eventually the plants switch over to growing in the regular two leaf pairs, but this one seems to keep throwing even more leaves. Very confused.

slightlysober Friends, I have no idea wtf this plant is doing anymore. I have not manipulated or trained it in any way, I have just let it grow naturally to observe its mutation. It somehow has split itself from growing one main stem into now two main stems that both appear to still be growing the leaves in in threes. I’ve looked online to try to find out more about this but can’t find anything related to what this plant has done. Now I know why those two leaves grew in next to each other I mentioned in week 5. It’s because that was the start of the split. She’s still growing along nicely. It’ll be very interesting to watch this girl flower! Wish I would’ve popped another White Widow at the same time to see how much more this yields than a plant without these mutations.
