It's a mutation called "Fasciation" and it may be caused by a few genetic disorders such as polyploidy (extra sets of chromosomes) and genetic instability. It's usually not harmful and may even be beneficial depending on it's scale and growth! In your case I'd leave it on to mature and see the amazing shapes and sizes of those mutations! Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

Nice ! I knew this was a possible — harmless — mutation, but never have the opportunity to see it. I'll keep an eye on your diary to see how it will evolve. ^^

Fasciation is the term. if you do a google image search for Cannabis Fasciation you will see Cannabis flowers that look like this.. If you were a large scale grower or commercial grower you might be concerned by something like this as it can be caused by negative things. But the average hobby grower doesn't need to worry to much and seeing these beauties grow can be a rewarding part of hobby growing. "Fasciation (pronounced /ˌfæʃiˈeɪʃən/, from the Latin root meaning "band" or "stripe"), also known as cresting, is a relatively rare condition of abnormal growth in vascular plants in which the apical meristem (growing tip), which normally is concentrated around a single point and produces approximately cylindrical tissue, instead becomes elongated perpendicularly to the direction of growth, thus, producing flattened, ribbon-like, crested (or "cristate"), or elaborately contorted tissue.[1] Fasciation may also cause plant parts to increase in weight and volume in some instances.[2] The phenomenon may occur in the stem, root, fruit, or flower head. Some plants are grown and prized aesthetically for their development of fasciation.[3] Any occurrence of fasciation has several possible causes, including hormonal, genetic, bacterial, fungal, viral and environmental causes."

Hi ! Speciale plantjes, haha😁 Ik zou het niet wegknippen en afwachten wat het verder doet. Als het wat voller word, zal je het evengoed kunnen gebruiken denk ik. Ze groeien goed en krijgen veel witte bloeiharen, dus ik denk dat ze een kans maken. Ik vind ze wel mooi om te zien🌱 Veel succes met de verdere groei!
