That looks like true polyploidy. So likely triploid, which is why its forming three branches at the nodal sites instead of 2. You might get a third cotyledon and node out of the fascination mutation but plants generally grow out of that phyllotaxy. The stem of polyploids is usually wider and looks “doubled-up” which I can’t really see by the picture but looks like it may. If you had the opportunity to clip a clone I would suggest working with it as polyploids have significantly higher levels of sesquiterpenes than their two set cousins which are much higher in monoterpenes. And triploids are sterile due to having an odd number of sets of chromosomes. If you had gotten a tetraploid it would have formed a four leaf clover as a seedling and have a true whorled phyllotaxy, the branching structure not the leaf mutation.

@HostileHippie420 @jj520 thats light bleaching for sure. Ive done it a lot. 1. Do you use a par meter? 2. Is that light dimmable. 3. You could using too much light and wasting money on electricity. Also if the buds start bleaching dim the light or raise it a little. Bleaching means the bleached parts are getting over loaded with light and lose there ability to photosynthesize in the white spots in particular. Your just barely bleaching and if you werent almost finished id say raise or dim it. But i takes a plant 2 weeks to start growing green in the bleached spots. I did not notice any difference in quality or flavor. I just try my best to not stress the plants when there in flower at all. NO bumping the buds as i trim leaves. Keeping the water consistent and food at the same times. I run the plants really close to dry a lot so i need to keep the watering schedule on time. I work all day for 11 hours so i cant be home to check on them.

Some buds from last night
My favorite time in the budding when the buds really start to take off theres the tiny little lime colored spots in the buds where there getting ready get a lot bigger.

Here’s a good article on why I do not believe that it is photobleaching I believe it is having the conditions dialed in and pushing the reds I’ve been growing for quite a few years I do believe I have my room dialed in pretty good but anyways here’s the article I hope you enjoy

Lol i never said you havent been growing a long time 
That article is fascinating! Thanks! I always believed it was bleaching but reading a bit more on that i have to say thats interesting AF!
I did notice that when my grows did happen to (bleach) that it was at a specific time in flower it happened also, usually late flower like 2 weeksish berfore being done. But some of the other plants in the same tent didnt bleach. So how did that happen? This article shed some more light on it 
I have seen it 3 times out of 70+ plants and through 30+ strains.
And how long have you been growing @jj520 ?? I got a job a nursery back in the the early 90’s and my friends were all discovering weed! Myself included! Then we were like we can grow our own weed holy shit! That was it we started growing pot. I used to read high times a lot. The good old days!
