hey 👋
That’s cool I’ve never seen a polycotyledon on a cannabis plant before!
I was curious whether it could have any impact on your future plant, so I did a bit of research and here’s a short summary of what I found out:
Most of the time, it’s just a genetic curiosity with no significant effect on productivity.
Sometimes, though, this anomaly comes with a hormonal imbalance, which can lead to a slightly unstable or deformed plant later on (twisted stems, asymmetrical growth, leaf mutations).
Some tetracotyledon plants develop greater initial vigor ; faster growth, more nodes, stronger branching potential. This can give a denser and more symmetrical start to the vegetative structure.
In your case, we can see four well-formed and symmetrical cotyledons, which is a good sign of balanced development; the first true leaves are already visible and nicely green, showing active, healthy growth; and the stem is straight and compact, with no sign of excessive stretching.
All of this suggests your plant is in very good condition! 👌
Having four cotyledons could promote a broader root system, allow for a natural four-way symmetry (cross-shaped structure), and give a slightly more vigorous start than average, emphasis on could.
For the next steps, it would be smart to provide:
Strong, close lighting (without burning) to prevent the stem from stretching
Light but regular watering (keep the soil moist but never soaked)
No nutrients for the first 10–14 days (your soil already has enough for a seedling this size)
No early topping or pinching (let it express its natural structure until 4–5 leaf sets)
And no early transplanting (root stability is especially important for mutants like this)
Can’t wait to see how it develops, good luck for ur grow! 🌱
