Triple Cots

[ContainerTed]

Got started late on my seed flats due to the move. Happened to look over leaf shapes today and found a triple cotyldon in one of the tomato trays. Then, I happened to notice one of the peppers had triple cots.

does the one with three cots have any true leaf buds in the leaf joint? I had one this year that had two cots, but no leaf buds. I left it alone for two weeks, and the cots got bigger, but nothing else. I reluctantly strangled it yesterday...

I have a tomato plant with three cots this year, it has true leaves but seems to be developing slower then the rest of the plants.

What you see in the photos is what I've got. I'll let you know later if they continue to grow or not.

Your plant sounds like a "MULE" - two big ears and nothing else.

I had a Tidy F2 dwarf that had 4 cots and it is a normal looking plant now. I thought it would turn out to be nothing. Oh...it's a dwarf plant also.

LOL! That's an excellent description.....

I have one with the opposite situation ... normal cots, but 3 true leaves and no subsequent growth. It's been this way for probably a couple weeks now, although the existing leaves continue to get larger.

I had 2 Cherokee Purple plants with 3 cots each but I did'nt get any pics and I snipped them off when potting up 2 weeks ago. They are mixed in with about 30 other cp so I don't know which ar which.

I have had only one triple cot so far. See my avitar. I have no idea what became of it.
