Checked on the girls this morning and Jack#2 is doing something weird.. I topped her a couple weeks ago and now one branch is growing alternate nodes whilst the other is parallel

I know plants can grow alternate as they mature, but I have never seen both growing at the same time on the same plant! Any ideas on why this happened and what it means?

i've had the same happen but it is unusual for sure in my experience...  spiral phyllotaxy i think its called... it is a mutation basically, not known causes but doesn't cause issues .. will mean the buds wont be paired either side of the same stem i've found after flowering if you can visualise lol 

i have to say from the picture it looks different to yours though... yours looks like what happens with cuttings... perhaps a result of the shock from the topping?

The other similar type mutation i've seen is whorled phyllotaxy which is where you get 3 leaflets instead of where there should be 2  

Interesting plants aren't they bro!? Always something more to learn from them

Time to pop some more beans 😗

No doubt, absolutely incredible both in growing and in uses - it's mind blowing what you can do with the plant! From food to batteries and everything in between
