I got this Lemon Mandarin photoperiodic from Fastbuds and one head of it showed a mutation called fasciation
Normally you don‘t really want that in your grow because the Buds are so dense and full with leaves that there is a high risk of mold. Also it doesn’t produce as much trichomes because it’s stacked with those leaves. But! I loved how it looked and kept it. I was growing indoors in Germany early summer season and had a pretty low rlh so it turned out just fine! The top of the fasciated bud was full with resin! The lower part of the bud wasn‘t but it still tasted well and was about 4.8 grams The Terps on this one were absolutely amazing they took over the whole room (had the Rainbow Melon and the Papaya Sherbet as well also very nice terps rainbow melon was really melony) but Lemon Mandarin was a mix of Melon and some of that oldschool Lemon Haze smell i really love from my days as a teenager
The one picture without the mutation was the head bud from one of the main stems.
I only grew these! These wonderful pictures wer made my bro @cv.macro I‘ll tell him to make an Account here but you can find him and me aswell on instagram under those names mine is bipobiofarm and backup is bipobiofarm2
so cool! Thanks for sharing this. I had a fasciation in my garden one time from some seeds I got from Mass Medical, but the stem was very fragile and it broken before the flower was ready. Very funny that this was your first grow. Also look like a pro same as the photos
Yes , it was my fault I should have give some support .. but at the time I did not know very well if I was happy to keep it in the garden or not so when he has broken I was somehow relief becuase I was scared of some hidden sacks or something like that (even from inspection I did not find any)
That is a mutation that is mostly caused by bacteria or fungi fyi, in some cases virus even, infections . Not polyploids as some think , although it happens a lot on polyploids as well. Really grew her well ! Nice flower to leaf ratio for this mutation
Interesting thanks! I was reading something about that it would be possible to cause this mutation by purpose i wouldn’t want to try that with my Weed but maybe with some non smokeable flowers for fun
