Everyone loves a FREAK... the mutant thread!

**stinkyattic** · Dec-04-2006, 10:35

Hey all!
I have a couple oddballs in the garden that I'd like to share with you. I hate my camera. These are all fairly common mutations you will see if you grow long enough. The one I never got a good pic of is partial albinism, so if anyone has one to share, by all means, do!

#1: It's a White Rhino about a 3 weeks to a month from seed... Self topped early... Not from pinching or damage or stress, it just split.
#2: This is a Purple Star plant about the same age. It started out with whorled phytolaxy, 3 cotyledons, 3 blade leaves, then some weird leaves, but it's growing out of it as you can sort of see.
#3: My favorite!!! This is an unknown strain that I cloned while in flower. The clone survived but was then attacked by thrips and almost croaked. I bug-bombed and put her under a weaker light to get back to health, and then I noticed what looked like a DIFFERENT KIND OF PLANT growing up and through her. I thought it was a garden weed that rode in with my hot peppers. So yesterday I went to yank it, and discovered it had no stem of its own, but is actually a sport growing from the female bud! And best of all, it has calyxes on it already. So I'm going to leave her to see how long it takes to revert to normal growth.

You can barely see, but the leaves of the odd shoot on that last have absolutely no hints of any serrations.

Hey, Stinky. Just found this thread. I don't spend enough time in the Lounge. You know I got at least 1 or 2 mutant pics I can put up. I rembember one from early veg and then of course the "three-headed monster" one that will be harvested in this next update. I'll try to round 'em up and post them on. Good thread.

Nice freaks. <G>
Last season I started 12/12 to sex the plants, waiting until flowers showed and went back to 18/6 for a week or two before planting outdoors in the first of June. Many wierd anomalies. The single smooth leaves (one plant stayed like that right through the summer and through maturity). A couple of self topping plants too.

I have one whorled phytolaxy this season too. Here's an early pic of it.

I had a nice one going 2005 in a bucket on a sunporch but killed it with polluted water from a fishtank.

No, polyploidy and whorled phytolaxy are 2 entirely different things. Polyploid plants may be impossible to spot, or they may develop only single bladed leaves their entire lives. They can make you REALLY confused if you breed one accidentally too!

**babystarbud** · Dec-07-2006, 11:45

i like the self topping one, very cool

heres a pic of a mutant leaf on one of my skywalkers, wierd thing is, its a low down leaf and i could have sworn it started out normal, i didnt even notice it untill a few days ago, anyone know what causes this?

**Cyclonite** · Dec-07-2006, 12:35

Heres my 3 headed self topper...it doesnt look as though it will yield as much though. My soil grow has been sub-par compared to my hydro.

**stinkyattic** · Dec-07-2006, 14:17

ha ha if that is sub-par compared to the other, you are doing all right!!!

Can't tell what that is in the avatar... you a turkey hunter?

**stinkyattic** · Dec-08-2006, 08:51

Pic#1 is a twinned plant. It's an Akita (annaC x Stankonia) freebie from seedbay that sprouted 2 plants from 1 HUGE seed.
Pic#2 is not a great shot, but if you can see the largest 2 leaflets of the leaf I'm holding are fused and share the same main vein for the 1st third of their length.
I love freaks.

**Shovelhandle** · Dec-08-2006, 12:58

Fasinating!

**Cyclonite** · Dec-08-2006, 15:31

From deer hunting, it looked great then but having problems in flower

**Volker** · Dec-09-2006, 18:26

This is not really a freak, but is interesting nonethless.

On one of previous grows, when I topped the plant, I stuck a cutting in a jar of water. No bubbles. No rooting gel. Nothing but a jar of water, which I changed daily... when I remembered.

Anyway, I set it into bud about 2 weeks before the plant, got 2 joints (1 joint + 1 hamster joint) out of it

**Shovelhandle** · Dec-09-2006, 19:16

cool

**hipEstoner** · Dec-10-2006, 15:16

**Bree1978** · Dec-15-2006, 08:29

i like the third... looks like one of mine; all her clones look like that until the 3rd or 4th week of flower... any ideas on how to encourage this trait?

**brookerosebud** · Dec-15-2006, 19:00

i too, have a self topping blueberry; she grew eight heads originaly, now it's like sixteen, they just keep popping out! i'll post a pic later... she's a clone mom now, or soon to be

nice plant, crispi

love, brooke
