3 sets of fan leaves per node on newly topped plants.

One cola on each of the 2 recently topped grape punch plants in super soil have started growing 3 fan leaves per node. I believe that's known as a whorled flower?? Is this just an uncommon mutation, or something to be concerned about?

Nothing to be concerned about , once in full flowering the stems are growing in an asymmetrical way even if you have 3 stems per nodes. I had experienced that variations on some of my plants and most of the time the only problem is that they are more leafy than regular plants so the buds are a bit harder to trim. I don’t know the name of that mutation (edit : it is whorled phylotaxy ) Edit : It's important to note that whorled phylotaxy (plants growing three or four leaves/branches per internode) is not the same as polyploidy. The two terms are often confused. One reason for the confusion of the two ideas is that both refer to a 'doubling' of cannabis plants - genes in one case, foliage in the other. Polyploidism can only be confirmed through genetic mapping

Looks like you are talking about the one leaf in the center of the nodes you topped. That is not a third, theres a forth with it to come still. Your lady my be reaching maturity and starting to grow asymmetrical at the nodes, as apposed to the other nodes still growing symmetrically. I don't think your getting a whorled flower thats a very standard node reaching maturity after getting topped/stunted for a few days.

When you have 3 sets of fan leafs you have a triploïde plant It means it’s dna is build out of three sets of chromosomes instead of 2 diploids 4 sets or more is call polyploid Plants with 3 or more tend to yield bigger buds..you can find some pics of some monster polyploid buds online It looks like bud is growing over bud ✌️
