Weird double tipped buds

If you look at my strawberry kush mainline diary, week six if not linked, you will see a normal bud and some that seem to have divided in two. There is a lot of buds at the canopy but 6 out of the 8 mainlined tops are like this. I'm baffled. No new untried nutrients. Known strain

Mcflow with the ChatGPT answer.. It’s either fasciation or a polyploid. Simple as that it’s a genetic mutation that causes it.

Mind did the same. I accidentally bumped the top cola in early flower cracking the stalk. It divided into two tops. Probably what caused yours as well, even if you didn't know.

Here are a few general possibilities for such occurrences: Bud Multiplication (Bifurcation): In some cases, cannabis plants may naturally produce what appears to be multiple buds fused together. This phenomenon can be genetic, and certain strains may be more prone to it. Stress Response: Unusual environmental conditions, stress, or changes in the growing environment can sometimes lead to abnormal bud development. Genetic Variation: As cannabis plants express genetic diversity, you might encounter variations in how buds develop. Some plants within the same strain can exhibit unique traits. Nutrient Imbalances: While you mentioned no new, untried nutrients, it's still worth considering nutrient levels. An imbalance, even if not caused by new nutrients, could impact bud development. Pollination or Hermaphroditism: Pollination, whether intentional or due to a hermaphroditic trait in the plant, can result in unusual seed formations and bud structures. Given the complexity of cannabis genetics and the potential influence of various factors, these are just speculative ideas. If the phenomenon is consistent across multiple plants of the same strain, it may be a unique trait of that particular genetic line. If you're concerned or curious, documenting the development and observing how the buds mature could provide insights into the nature of this occurrence. Wish you the best of luck and happy growing🍀
