Hate to burst your theory bubble but your CMH has nothing to do with an 11 bladed leaf. Pure genetics buddy. Indica=less than 7 blades, sativa=I've seen up to 13. So I think your plant has a smidge of sativa in it. Glad you like your CMH though. Good luck with you and yours.
I've noticed in growing and other growers talking about it, a higher number of blades to a leaf could mean male. Just what I notice kind of, my females usually tend to stay between 5-7 blades. Peace
I have a SuperSilverHaze that is about 33 days old..been in 12/12 for about a week. Its big fans now have 11 "fingers". My last SSH had some lower fans with 13 fingers.
IMO, it is more strain related/genetics than anything else.
I am under a 400W CMH also, and I had a plant revert to pushing 3 finger leaves, HUGE ones!!! Though I don't think it had to do with the light. The clone is off a 6 month old mother so I think it is dying to bud!
BTW I love my CMH, the plants are SO bushy and compact and are pushing out HUGE fan leaves!!!
i'm w/ those that say it's the genetics & also agree it is a sign of the plant being healthy... now if the number of fingers drastically reduce on their own in veg the plant is experiencing stress of some form.
I know this thread is old as hell and i dont know if anybody is interested but last round of white urkle i had some bottom fan leaves with 13 fingers, middle finger being 13in long and 3in wide.Grown in my Diy UC,peace,fuzzy
