Hi Guys this the 10 most common mutation in cannabis some they say 11 some others 7 .
Unfortunately the available information are many and some times contradicting each others so I decided to make a generic post and not go in much in details to avoid share misinformation.
This is my list
Cannabis with “stringy” flowers
(one example was
@easty ABC photos he shared with us) and is also usual to occur to strains with tropical origins.
Polyploidy or Gigantism in Cannabis :
Cannabis is a diploid plant, with two sets of chromosomes. Is Rarer but can occurs spontaneous polyploidism if the process of cell division malfunctions during development, and it can be also be induced in plants that would otherwise develop normally by treatment with a powerful mutagenic chemical called colchicine.
Colchicone is highly toxic and should only be handled by those who understand the risks and know how to mitigate them! Dont try it at home!!!!!!!!!
Secondary buds on leaves
( This Mutations Was also have recently reported to our forum from a member) and is not so rare mutation also called piggyback mutation.
Whorled phyllotaxy :
Phyllotaxy (from Ancient Greek
φύλλον (phúllon) 'leaf', and τάξις (táxis) 'arrangement')
is the botanical term for the arrangement of leaves on a plant stem.
@dioecious photos I believe are some kind of Phylotaxy mutation.
ABC, Australian Bastard Cannabis or Cannabis Australis
Also the
Cannabis that grows like a vine (usually apperas from ABC crossings)
"
DucksFoot" Cannabis or Leaf-webbing :
Is a useful mutation, as it can develops true-breeding strains and this mutation make the leafs stuck together.
Tentacular cannabis or "creeping phenotype"
Is rare mutation and usually occurs is tropical strains grown in very humid conditions. and the lower branches instead grow toward the light grow towards the ground and in many cases they creat new roots at the site of contact .
Albino or variegated cannabis.
( dont mix this up with light Bleaching that occurs from intense lighting )
But some sources say the opposite that intense lighting can trigger this genetic characteristic from certain strains ,Something that
I dont personal agree with.
So variegation occurs when some of the genes that control production of chlorophyll and other pigments do not express correctly, causing distinctive patterns of pigmented and non-pigmented sections on leaves and buds.
In some extreme cases, the genes that control production of chlorophyll may all be switched-off, and the plant will be entirely albino.
This mutation looks good but is not useful because this plants cant reach their full potential due the luck of photosynthesis.
Poly embryonic seeds or "twins" Is something I personally like so much.
Polyembryonic seeds means that the seeds contain more one seedling !!!!'
It is possible to remove the seed casing after a day or two and gently separate the two seedlings by washing them .( is very delicate process)
This following I found it very interesting and I would like to test (while one of the two plants will be the normal offspring of its mother and father, the other will be a clone of its mother.)
Another for many Mutation is the
fox tailed cannabis but for me is hard to believe and I need more evidence for this claim since I believe is certain strains characteristics and not a Mutation
Please correct me or ad more information in the subject.
