1 out of 4 plants “Topping” herself! Repeatedly!

One out of four of my plants is “Topping” herself. Seems at least 3 stalks at the 3rd node so far. They are all the same strain, White Widow X BigBud. Ive read it can be genetics, from the strain being topped so many times before. Any thoughts or comments on this?

To have multiple growing tips happening without any sort of outside interference is a genetic "flaw" and after experience with plants that did the same thing, unfortunately, I would have to say that if space is an issue, removing this plant may be a good solution to coming up with more space. In other words, save time and get rid of it. Since the veg growth is so abnormal, and with the ones that I had, this weirdness transferred to the flowers too, with weird and random growths everywhere, that took ages to finish and was rather mediocre in quality. As to this deformity being caused by topping by other people who have grown plants like this in the past, is an absolute fairy tale. Unless breeding with the mutants and mutants only, in order to fix these traits genetically, no amount of previous topping will cause a genetic change to occur within a plants genotype. This plant is a genetic mutant, not a product of previous growing methods. Growing "fimmed" or "topped" plants is not the cause of this. It is plainly and only, a rare genetic mutation. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

In veg I like to spread the new growth outwards when they come...I know you're looking at them day to day so when you do...spread em 🤣 idk if self topping is a bad thing with auto's...which is why I like female seeds. You'll only know when you harvest of how the plant reacted to it's self topping... GL 🤘👊👊👌
