Original Auto Sour Diesel Solo Cup

We're finally starting to see some differences in these 9 solo cup original auto strains! Still in vegetative mode, they should begin to switch to flower pretty soon. This strain was about a day behind the rest, but seemed to be doing okay until recently. I only just noticed this morning, that the leaves of the second node haven't actually separated and allowed the new growth upward. Instead, the new growth has been forced out of the side of the node. I've not seen this before, but I plan to let the plant grow as normal, just to see what will happen. I am genuinely curious how this will affect it from here on. This will be one to keep an eye on, for sure.
