Fasciation / Cresting

Hello all,

I was hoping to get some opinions/comments from anyone who has had experience with Fasciated/Crested plants

After 5 years away from growing, I am now legal, and in the process of setting up again. I decided to complete my veg room first, so I could pop a few different strains and have a healthy supply of mothers/clones once I complete my flowering room

I wanted to practice germinating/sexing/training & troubleshooting my veg room with some nice looking bag seeds I put away at some point.. Just to shake off the rust, with seeds that hold no real value to me. Out of 10 seeds, I ended up with 7 females.. And after some initial trouble with low room temperatures & over-watering, I am happy I did a test run with bag seeds and not good seeds

Anyways, I am looking for any comments or opinions on what to do with plants that exhibit Fasciation or Cresting. 2 of my 7 female plants are showing what looks to be Fasciation/CrestingFasciation.JPG

From what I see around the web, it doesn't seem to be a beneficial mutation.. If it is not something that is desirable, I would just rather remove them entirely, as I am going to need the space with my new seeds ready to go

Thanks

It's a mutation that happens. It's right up there with polyploidy plants. It's interesting but at best there's no advantage. In the case of this mutation it's probably even counter productive.
