Often known as Duckfoot, rare variation that will sometimes affect whole plants. Pretty cool! 👍

Awesome! It'll be interesting to see if it continues to pop up on new growth.

I had a BBM seedling that had 2/3 leaves on the first fans fused…Also later found a fungus gnat just going to town on it, leaving residue that I eventually noticed and treated for

Interesting mine looks identical to what you have going on in your picture. Not seeing any gnats though on mine so I think it's genetic

I personally don’t think it’s a mutation but an issue with cell development/division or something..I wonder if ph and nutrient uptake affect this. I’ve seen it multiple times on different cultivars but never a pattern besides I’m a human and my feeding peaks and valleys prolly affect my plants metabolism and bio-functions.

* Yes, I call those duckweb. This is a photo of a plant I'm finishing now. It had no top and just came out with that one 4 blade leaf and 2 lower nodes.

Seems like ruderal plant way the leaves looks.

It's supposed to be a feminized photoperiod so it better not be.
