Let it grow, I bet it grows out fine. I have had a few of them, a couple started to look like cabbage. I think due too a bit of stress. However, in 3 weeks, you couldnt tell

nothing wrong with your plant.
its just got a double head.
never seen a plant like that.
but keep vegging and it should be ok.
and it will flower.
vegg for 4 to 6 weeks, on 24/0 under flo,s.
and when you want to flower, goto 12/12 and get some proper light.hps, pref for 12/12.
how many plants are you growing?.

yeah i guess i can top them.. but since i started these under this 400hps they look like they're gonna be short and bushy. the clones i take will go under some t5 fluor fixture i ordered. i'm going to be transplanting these as soon as some proper soil gets here. was planning on making a 50% promix, 30% coco coir, 20% perlite mix and feed them earth juice. It does get hot in there, it's a small bathroom and in the summer it is going to get excessive. I'l have to get a better exhaust fan then. For now it ranges from 71 - 85F. I have circulating fans that blow the leaves around.

oh yeah it's a northern lights x big bud hybrid from bds

if your growing 8 plants.
try to put 2 into flower every 2 weeks, and then youll have weed every 2 weeks, to harvest.

This mutant is a called twin embryo. They result from a mutation in the twn genes which cause the suspensor cells in the embryo to undergo transformation, and these transformations form viable twin and some times triplet embryos inside the seed. Your 'siamese' twin was caused by this type of mutation. Since both cotyledons developed in both of the siblings, I would assume that the mutant genes will not be inherited. It will be interesting to see this plant develop and if it will reproduce, you're playing with cannabis genetics.

Yeah i agree totally with the above poster.
If it was mine i would flower it and either use its pollen if it is a male or pollinate it if its a female.
The more heads the better in the cannabis world anyway:mrgreen:

That plant is pretty cool. Don't listen to whoever said it won't flower cuz it definately will, I've seen them flower before. I can't wait to see your mutant flowers

Here's an update on my plants:


The links broke so I'l start from the beginning..




this was the mutant plant that sprouted with two stems




a few weeks later.. it was stunted because i had to transplant it early





this was 2-3 weeks ago..















unfortunately i couldn't transplant them again until some of them were already pot-bound.. but heres what they look like now.




this one kept getting burnt by the light, even though it was only 82F at the canopy level. the light (400HPS) was at 12 inches, now it's at 24 inches. the temperature ranges between 72 - 82F this month.








several of the plants started curling like this right after my last watering/feeding.. which was an Earth Juice mix i bubbled for 48 hours.




I moved the fan so it wasn't blowing directly on it anymore, i raised the lights, i added a teaspoon of dolimite lime and watered it in, it still won't stop curling like this. the soil is promix, coco coir, perlite, and 1 tbsp lime per gallon.



















this is the mutant plant. i'm keeping it under a T5 fixture for now and will flower it later. It grew pretty weird.. one stem turned into a Y and has three crowns now.. the other stem is still very small and is the lowest branch on the plant.















Any advice would be much appreciated. It seems like i'm making every mistake possible as I go along.. but at least i can learn from them. also the strain i'm growing is a bb/nl hybrid, and i just fimm'd the 6 plants under the hps. I'm gonna let the mutant one grow out on its own.

yeah i've had the fan blowing directly on them the entire grow, but since a few of them started curling i have it blow just above the canopy now. you were right that mutant plant is looking cool! was it overfeeding?

both lights on 18/6

i'm figuring this stuff out now. starting to weed out males as i have a set of clones under 12/12 and a few of them are starting to show balls. but since dosing them with 16% nitrogen, waiting till the tips burned, then flushing them all out and feeding a mild earth juice mix, they seem to be doing pretty well. the leaves are finally a nice foresty green instead of pale green or yellow. my problems most likely can be traced to high ph because of too much dolomite lime/very hard water, potassium overdose from the cheap coco-coir in the mix, salt problems possibly because of the cheap coco-coir, and some overdosing/lockout of nutes. my next crop is gonna be a monster! :mrgreen:



these are still in VEG btw
