Buds at base of a stem. Good genetics or bad?

Are .5gr-1gr buds at the base of stems a good pheno type and simply bonus buds or are they considered a genetic mutation that is a sign of bad genetics to a breeder?

Hard to tell without running the same pheno a few times over.
Looks like its a little underdeveloped or went into flower too soon which will make smaller then usual buds. Also, healthy plants can fatten up that popcorn much quicker in the end.

Thanks! My genetics are a hobby growers experiment you might say and are definitely poor genetics with wild phenos. In my last two grows I had plants with multiple blade leaves, a bud in the leaf, and my favorite a leaf in a leaf. Growers explained those as mutations and signs of possibly being bad genetics and I was wondering if the buds in the trunk area were considered the same.

not "bad" genetics bro there are no "bad" genes, deleterious ones, sure but this is just a simple mutation that lots of lines carry. doesnt hurt the plant and it doesnt hurt the grower.

now what I think you should ask yourself is, is this mutation useful to you? is it detrimental? or does it not make a difference? was the bud good? did it grow well or give you any problems? looks like a fine plant to me, but is this what you want?

some of the best strains have come from bagseed man dont dump on them so hard lol
