Anybody seen this before?

Howdy,

I had a check on my babies this morning, only to find that this guy had sprung up while I had been asleep

As opposed to having 2 'leaves' like the other seedlings, this guy has 3. Can anyone offer an explanation?

Quite common man, it happened to two of the four sr 7 pods i grew last year and they grew really well

Can't tell you how or why it happens, but yeah, sometimes it does.

From my experiences, it will just grow into another plant like any other.

Ah, fair enough. I figured that it wasn't too bad a thing to happen seeing as the seedling still sprouted as normal, without much delay.
Thanks for the fast replies guys

If anybody has any info on the reasoning behind this I would be intrigued to know

Do you happen to live downwind of the reactor in Japan by chance?

3 cotyledons is not that uncommon and there are many threads here about it
