I'm 60 yrs old and not a botanist, nor a master grower, so please excuse me if I butcher the terminology.
Been growing on the down low for a few years as my state just went legal in 2023. The seeds I have used came from 1/8s I had purchased. Got low on seeds so I let one male pollinate the three females I had. Neither parent had the property I am about to describe, at least the females did not. Every seed from that mixing has had the trait that it starts producing axillary buds from each node from the time it reaches a height of two to three internode lengths. Every node on every stem exhibits this trait as well. I can only assume this was a dominant/recessive gene passed on by the male and I didn't know enough to identify it when that parent was growing. The main stem also seems to be much sturdier/thicker than the plants I grew previously. The high is fantastic.
The resulting offspring are bushes that have to be heavily manicured lest they waste all their energy producing hundreds of popcorn sized buds. I could see such a plant being useful for producing clones. I suck at cloning, so I don't get much benefit from this.
I apologize for not providing more pics of plants in various stages of growth, but I have a janky cobbled-together 'good enough' setup that I'm kind of embarrassed by. Plus, I'm a renter.
Is there a proper name for what I am seeing?
