SpaceBomb mutant, anyone ever seen this?

Looks like this girl is growing a fan leaf to lead the show!? I know there are bugs on her but I dont think enough to stress a plant to do something weird like this. If it's a female I will grow her out for sure lol!!

Never seen that before.
Definitely on the short bus.

I've had a IHG crypt keeper do something very similar to this in veg. Once flowered didn't see any more growth like that.

self topper. seen many. haven't seen many survive as they tend to do it young. almost always cause by a leaf eating insect. a stem with no nodal growth and only fan leaves can live for months, but without an apical top, it will never 'grow out of it' as there is nothing there TO grow.

you seem to have a lucky one. if it grows apically from the nodes below, it will grow and bush out. if not, it will eventually die.

Is there a meristem on one of the lower "branches"? Can't tell from pictures, but if there isn't ...^^^^^ what Cat said.
