This is my Trident plant. She came from a bag seed that hermed halfway through flower. I think it was grower error and light leaks that caused the herm. She only produced a couple dozen seeds that was limited to the lower buds. So good is a seed from that plant and it has a genetic mutation. That is a rare genetic mutation called Whorled Phyllotaxy. Instead of the usual two leaves/branches at every node, your plant is putting out three. It’s basically a “bonus” mutation that happens in about 1 in every 250 plants. I been training her to cover a 3x3 surface area. She has now been in flower for 2 weeks. During her grower spurt, the force of her growing up and the force of the scrog net pushing down caused her to break at her split node. I have wrapped her in hemp twine and applied honey to try and save the branch. So far she is still growing fine and hairs are sprouting. ![1750](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/seedsman/original/2X/f/f65f5f6afddefb6e935e6102c0ee8f9d5d605f61.jpeg) ![1749](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/seedsman/original/2X/7/73b6fe9950c7b7bfebc0e898c782cb805821a138.jpeg) ![1716](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/seedsman/original/2X/a/ad8c51e30a1d8351f05c6fa32c7c4a80368e1e7e.jpeg) ![1712](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/seedsman/original/2X/4/4852dfcf95960fbce5558eccaa87dcbf237d3e69.jpeg) ![1680](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/seedsman/original/2X/0/00bfd139aac3084b5077ce1b26a0e80edaab1f9c.jpeg) ---

She has been making her flower stretch. I tied up all 3 main branches. Resilient. Hope for heavy buds. ![1824](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/seedsman/original/2X/a/a14e8393ffa50404e8bb609a3a0becee618a7ecb.jpeg) ![1823](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/seedsman/original/2X/6/60f440e09755497fe03d38b6f8dd396f1ff34f7a.jpeg) ---
