I had a triploid trifoliate this year. And a completely fused shut seedling. Are sisters from my 30 year inbred Original Jack x original
Big Bud plants. The second seedling thats all warped, thats mine that has all the claws and is so small right now. When the seed popped, the cotyledons were fused shut, i had to cut them open with a steril scalpel to let the seedling out
This is the triploid as it sits now, close to 10 weeks old
It shot out a fasciated arm when the triploid terminated, and as of right now its fasciateing, and has a new shoot with a whorled phyllotaxy, as well as some reverted growths all on the same branch lol
The mutant i had to do surgery on, was just very slow, until i tried to feed her heavier, and she burned and got root rot lmfao. Hence all the claws you see today.
Pre-surgery
Coupe days later
Triploid mutant, and her sister, the fused slow mutant
That mutant branch on the outside girl, is expressing fasciation (cresting) and reverted whorled phyllotaxy, is actually expressing the exact same genetic mutation the exact same way as this crested/whorled/reverted san pedro cactus
This is what the slow mutant looked like before i burned and rotted her roots lol. Part of her deformities from birth were hooky leaf tips, even when healthy and growing rapidly.
Very cabbagy plant lol.
