Asymmetrical Growth: One side looks like it has a genetic defect

Ever since this plant sprouted, one side of the plant has grown much slower than the other side and has deformed looking leaves (even the leaves on the side branches exhibit this). The strain is Jelly Breath (fem photo) from In House Genetics and it’s growing much faster than any of the other 12 plants I’ve grown, especially the side branches, it’s just very uneven.

I assume it’s due to genetics b/c the other seedling (a different strain) that I started alongside this one looks completely normal. However, I did leave both of them in solo cups for longer than I should’ve. I was hoping it would even out as it developed but so far it’s persisted on each node. I’m considering tossing it but would also be interesting to see how it turns out.

Anyone seen something like this before?




Don’t do that. Your plant looks fine. Plants are going to develop minor problems and blemishes as they age. Many of those issues are minor, if not a factor at all. I see no reason that the plant won’t be productive.

Let’s get some more info to make sure that something else isn’t going on since you are new.

Just roll with it. Make that your new leader or top. Prune the old top like an in the way side branch. Sometimes odd ball plants are the most fun to grow. And often the one you wish you cloned at sample time.

It clearly has an auxin thing going sideways on that branch. Genetic or not. Why fight it.
