3 Cotyledon Reaper

I had a rough time getting these seeds to germinate only 4 of 10. 2 of them by the paper towel/baggie method and the other 2 of them by chance. After a few weeks in a paper towel I moved them in a bowl of water fish emulsion and peroxide. The next morning 1 of them popped and I put it in the dirt. The morning after that another popped. I looked at my little baby last night and this is what I found. Never seen this before except on here. Pretty neat though.

I've had several 3 cotyledon plants.. fairly rare, but not as much so as a 4 leaf clover.

However, I've never cultivated clover.

Nice that you got the reaper.. it should be fine.
 
My brother and I both got "threebies". Soon reverted though.
Must be a reaper thing.
The 3 are still there, but the ones above are doubles.
 
Love it when nature displays a curve ball. Haven't had a three-cot seedling yet, but had a twin form (died) and a fused cot yellow brain (also died). Hopefully yours will be viable.
 
I had a few this past season, one was Trinidad Beans and now its putting out some pods. I seem to find these with alot of superhots and Trinidad strains
 
I had 1 out 7 do this, the plant ended up doing pretty well. I gave it to another member a couple weeks ago so I don't know how it's doing now.
 
it doesn't seem to help or hinder the little plants. It is a neat oddity, doesn't seem to be passed on consistently.

Happens with chinenses more than others from my experience.
 
I had about 4-5 of my 14 reapers with 3 cotyledons they look pretty strong. I'm going to keep seed from it seperated and see if it produces that way over and over.
