i have 3 seedlings with 3 false leaves instead of 2.. has any one seen this before?
it was from a heavyweight wipeout express or fast buds west coast, cant remember which etc:)
 
If by false leaves you're referring to the cotyledon. It sounds like a 'tri-cot' seedling. If that is the case then it should continue to develop normally. I've seen pleiocotyly present in other species. Usually a mutation, loci, redundant gene that impacts embryonic patterning. As long as it doesn't extend to your true leaves your plant should produce to type. I am going to stop myself now before I go full on science mode, lol.

Given the fact you got three to show this. I would be interested in knowing the variety though. May be intentionally linked with a specific expression the breeder was going for.

Saison
 
It's lucky like a four-leaf clover, you get more colas for free! :smoking:
 
Trifoliate is the term, can occur in plants that have a genetic predisposition towards it, here are some pics of a recent trifoliate i currently have, its now a bushy mutant though, in the past i've have found they don't yield as much as regular plants, and they tend to focus on throwing out more leafs and spend some time confused at what the heck they are, but those are just my observations.
