Curious about leaf blades

[WestCoast4Life]

Hello everybody. I am 16 days into flowering and I have noticed the the leaves around the budsites at the nodes are starting to have only 3 blades, I think it looks really cool. It went from having 7 to 3. Is this a common trait? Thanks.

Perfectly normal. They start with 1, then 3, then 5, etc. Once flowering starts, they decrease until you're back to one.

i agree, and don't you just love the 7 fan leaf as big as your hand?

I got 9 leafers too! I even saw 11 leafers in the midwest with the feral hemp.

Aw, neat! My plants will begin flowering soon; I am excited. Mine have gotten up to 9 points on their leaves. lol I've even seen a few lower leaves with even numbered points. LOL Seems like they were anxious to grow up! ^_^

It a beautiful thing how mother nature works. Yeah I've seen huge fan leaves 11 leafers such a pretty plant. Then when in flowering the blades get back 3s 5s. But I love it like we all do. Good luck on your journey
