Alternating number of fan leaves?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this site and a new and novice grower. I currently have one female plant, she is nearly 5' tall. I have transplanted her twice, and she is now in the ground. I'm not certain if she is full indica or a hybrid.
My question is this: Is it ok that the fans leaves are starting to alternate in number? She worked her way up to 9 in a linear fashion, now she's going 9, 11, 9, 11.
It is possible that these alternations began at transplanting.

as long as you don't see 1 finger leafs . when the plant is total shit you will see 1 finger might as well throw them away . your all good .

Number of leaves is totally irrelevant. Single blade leafs indicate stress in veg but every plant can be recovered with time. Focus on keeping your plants healthy and green; the color tone is more telling than anything else

Fans only develop where there's a bud site.

Bud sites can vary depending on how it stretched first 2 weeks of flower.

Lots of stretch will result in 2 by 2 by 2 bud sites.

Less stretch will result in alternating nodes.

Thanks, everyone! Since I only have one plant this one is getting a lot of attention (borderline obsessive, maybe ). So an alternating number of fan leaves is nothing to stress over! Whew!

Alternating nodes is generally what people aim for, as they fill into massive buds.
