2 stems after Cotyledons?!

So I got an odd delayed start with this Godfather OG seed. I was concerned she'd die after only having the cotyledons for almost 2 weeks. But she finally is growing, and with 2 main stems! How many of you all have seen 2 mains sprout after cotyledons?

OG is the rear one in this^ pic. Front is a bubblegum Sherb.

Ya know as I'm looking at this, what normally is after cotyledons is your single blade, serrated/real leaf set, then the normal real leaves. This looks like my singles are growing as branches and also have developed more blades. I'm interested to see how she grows from here on. Because it's a repeating the two jumbo leaf/blades I think.

I’ve had that happen to a Dosidos, it just kind of topped itself from the start, but it didn’t repeat but grew two normal branches from there on until I intentionally topped it again. It grew some great bud, definitely worth watching and seeing what happens.

Hadn't fed them anything. I mean a little FF Big Bloom, but just to encourage microbes. I was always taught to not really worry about nutes until the 3rd or 4th node/set of true leaves.

Now the 3gal fabric pot I transplanted it too just Thursday 4 days ago, has Epsoma Bio-tone starter plus, but only 1/3 cup even though the bag calls for 1.5cups for 3 gal. I get nute burn paranoid so planned to supplement any veg- time nutes with fish fertilizer(5-1-1), and of course Big Bloom(0-0.5-0.7) if it needs it.

EDIT: Soil is something like 40% Jiffy seed starter(soil with peat, coir pith, vermiculite), 20% perlite, 40% Epsoma Organic Potting Mix. Worked decent for my last 2 grows. I recycle and "cook" the soil with this amendment. Until it doesn't work anyways lol.

I personally was going to say that it looks like the plant was damaged and that caused it to split. But, looking closer, none of the leaves look right. They look like they don't want to divide properly. Some fingers are fat. Some are barely developed the plant's very freakish and probably not even worth running. Save yourself the time now and chalk it after 2 weeks before it's 2 months in my opinion

Id keep keep it., it may grow out of it.
Personally im into freaks ;)
If it were mine id be kinda disappointed if it gree out of it.
Ive had three leaved seedlings many times before but the always grow out of it.
As have I my friend. My personal practice anymore is not to waste time. If I could get out of a mistake after 4 weeks instead of putting 4 months into it, I'm going to take that out every time these days. Time to me is the biggest uncontrollable, you just have to deal with it. So I truly try to minimize waste

I understand completely, i dont smoke much these days and run a small grow every now and then, thats enough to supply me so thats why id run it.
It is like they say though “theres only so many harvests you can get in in a lifetime”
So yes if quantity and quality are of upmost importance than maybe starting something besides it to replace with maybe the wisest thing to do.

I'm going to keep it purely for the hobby and science factor. Plus I'm out of seeds and money is tight after this back-to-school shopping. I love herb so yield is in question here, but growing is one healthy hobby i can obsess over. Curiosity gots me you could say :lol:

Man last time I get seeds from that source. 1 of 2 bubblegum Sherb didn't take at all, and then this mutant lol. They say "life finds a way", so I'll see what she does with the mutant.

She's comes a long way. HOWEVER, I had the plants backwards, this mutant is the auto - Godfather OG.

She's showing and my lights are still 18/6, that's how I knew I was wrong. My question is what can I expect with her this small flowering already? I'm expecting half O at best.

She's growing healthy. Still excited to see what a goofy start will yield. Included 2 pics to show difference in leaf color under LED's and natural light.

The orange edges and down curling is from when it got cold last Saturday and my oscillating tower fan kicked it's heater on. Luckily it didn't do too much damage.
