hello every one I have been growing for about 4 years know and have recently found the DGC and was wondering for anyone has seen flat stems. I have a plant that 3 branches grew together and never split any ideas on why. The strain is Jamaican suppose to be a pure Sativa.
I use a window unit, but on occasion, I will put a frozen 2 litre of water in front of…
If you're that close to harvest, you ought to be fine. Just don't be surprised by finding a seed or…
Wait a minute, if you’re in seven week of flour you’re probably good. Assuming that you’re pulling at eight weeks
I think it’s less about the pot size than it is about what you intend to do about inputs on…

From what I understand that’s a polyploid, it’s a rare genetic mutation. The plants produce celery like limbs with odd branching habits. Sometimes the tops will divide out into multiples, but they always seem to put out really strange buds that resemble sunflowers or pompoms.
Fasciation and polyploidy are often confused. The top growth (apical meristem) will show the mutation most. Polyploids will form big round buds because two cells form instead of one. With fasciation, you’ll get flat stems that crest with a ribbon up top. Polyploids are cool but fasciation is trash.
Interesting… I’ll do more research later tonight. Do the polyploid plant stems look normal or are they like a ribbon too; or is it strictly the buds that are affected? Are there any hallmark signs to help tell the difference between the two? I’ve come across a few throughout my seasons and I’ve got one in my hemp field this year, I’d like to diagnose it properly, especially if I’m wrong. Thanks jmystro, I’ll dig a little deeper.
Polyploid will start with more than 2 cotyledon leaves and you’ll know from seedlings and won’t produce flat/ ribbon stems like fascinated ones. Whorrled plants produce extra branches at the nodes but start out normal.
When I had one of these, I thought I would leave it to grow some crazy cool stalk looking thing…. it started to cut itself off from food before I brought it to flower, so I chopped it. Grew well for awhile but then lost steam.
