Mephisto freebie oddity?

[DogterB]

I’ve got a couple of grows under my belt, but this is the first time I’ve seen this. This is a Mephisto CDLC x Skywalker freebie, and it’s throwing a lot of 3-pointed leaves, even a few with singles. Is this something that comes up with these F1 crosses? Or from starting in hot soil? She’s doing great otherwise, just a curiosity. This is my first Meph plant, practicing with the freebies. Also, any advice is always appreciated.

Im like 99% sure the freebies are the new 'testers' and some are not as stable as the others. I would expect some not so normal looking phenos.

I had a similar issue last grow that I associated with too much N. I also had minor clawing on some leaves. I was doing water only, so my starting soil was a little “hot” with N for flower.

Leaf number can be variable, and yes Meph freebies can be all over the place. I'm growing a NCH x Sour Bubbly freebie that corkscrewed out of the ground and had a deformed initial fan leaf, for example:

All better now:

I have a Mango Smile that just popped a few days ago and its first set of leaves looked odd but the next set looks normal.

I’m in the same boat, doing water only in hybrid diy octopot setup. Had some curling and a little burning right off the bat but they’ve all grown out of it
