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 :)

    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.
