My first one !

I know this isn't the best community to post this to but all cannabis growing communities are pretty much inactive and I'm really excited !

I've been growing for years and it's the first time I get a polyploid specimen. Looks neat :)

It is a tree. This is a community for trees.

Is the plant bred like that and it’s all of them?

If not, it’s fasciation and it’s not really a desirability either way. Strange of them to try and paint it in a good light.

I don't know if I don't understand a word because I'm not a native English speaker or what but I'll try to answer.

This is just a random genetic mutation. Only observed benefit is the rise in terpens numbers.

You can read the article for more info :)

This is fascination in a pineapple.

I genuinely had a triploid individual once, and it would've made seed if that one pathetic little thieving c*nt m hadn't gone and stolen it mid-flower. It may not have had time to finish as the falls are shit here but it could've done.

There aren't pairs of leaves, but triples. It was a beautiful one, taller than me (>183cm). Hate that pathetic thief. He still owes me for that even when it was 20 years ago. I'm going to make him pay when I see him.

If it’s random, than it’s not polypoidism, it’s fasciation. I read your link, and it’s quite honestly a bunch of crap.

It wastes a bunch of energy from the plant, and should be culled immediately. The fact that they try to put a positive spin on it is alarming and bullshit to be honest.

So unless your plant have been bred for a specific genetic defect and been tested, which would make it a common trait across the entire plant. It’s more likely that it’s fasciation instead of polyploid. That can ONLY be verified with genetic testing, which you haven’t done.

Yes.

Or you can take things less seriously and have fun :)
