I have found in one of my F2 a plant who has made one fliwer bunch at the end of the rod and two ramifications under.

Have you already get stranger bush?

Hi Adrian,

Yea the combination of indet and det genetics produces a huge range of variation in F2.  Growth habit is very complex and the expression of determinate/indet combinations is almost/maybe limitless. ??
I remember an F2 plant I was sure was indeterminate, repeating 3 leaves between trusses six or seven times then suddenly it terminated.  And the side shoots made determinate patterns after seven leaves/nodes.

That plant produced another whole range of growth habits in the F3, from quite small and compact to leggy tall 'determinates' or semi-determinates.

You can really get a lot of different growth habits from these combinations, to choose whichever suits you best.
