Name that/those mutation(s)

Natural split at the top of the plant for two mains. Second node from the bottom is growing two stems. I can't find anything online because I can't find the right combination of words that do not lead me to polyploid flowers or polyembryony.

It's known as self topping mutation. Theory is incorrect nutrient mix early on can prompt the mutation, but purely a theory.

In my case the theory probably applies as too strong a nute mix stressed it and it did that.

Edit. Bit more info...more common when seeds are soaked and Pakastani genetic traits also.

Reports are it takes longer to grow and that's what I am seeing on mine, bud development is behind but twice as many. Often leads to lower yields apparently

I'll tell you, Bluey Self topping is the first thing I went with. More research and I am not convinced that is a proper name for this. Probably because I cannot find similar pictures. And you know how I like my pictures! Plus, the doubles at the second node. I'm sure that is pretty common but I need words.
This is the fastest growing of my four plants. All have had the same treatment. No soaking. Same thing I've done for several grows.
 
I've been unable to find a medical diagnosis on this with Latin nomenclature.

I know, I am as disappointed as you man.

Lots of discussion on this on Reddit going back 10 years or so.
 
Reddit, Quora, ILGM, and others. Self-topping, splitting, twin, conjoined...
I've topped and know what a topped plant looks like. This ain't it. ​
 
What I got me is codominant stems! Thanks, UMass, Amhurst.
I found trees and tomatoes, but not weed.
Woo-hoo!
Now, to the double node branches...
 
Reminds me of some I had that were genetically manipulated, or double chromosome. They did all kinda weird shit.
 
This super skunk kush self topped, if you can call it that, 13 limbs in all.

It's a weedopus! Looks like damage growth Rwise . Were that a tree I would say bugs got in and made a crazy burl.
Did it grow 13 branches worth? Size wise, I mean. I am considering upping this to a 7-gallon pot. If everything grows without being stunted, I imagine there would be much appreciation in providing for a larger root ball.
 
It also had many places that went 3 way, made 2 different buds, low yield, did not smoke well but did ok as eatables, overall very disappointing. My thought is, it was genetically manipulated.
