10 and 12 fingered Leaves... Does it mean anything?

This month old seedling is from an unknown variety described as "decent chronic with a few seeds in it". I noticed on the 3rd node it had 9 fingers per fan leaf. Now on all the new leaves it has 10 and 12 fingers. I've never seen anything like it. Does this indicate a particular strain? Has anyone else seen this? Any comments would be nice.

I get that funny little 'extra' leaf sometimes. I haven't noticed a pattern. I can say that clones from the same mom have grown it and others haven't so I'd doubt it has any signifigance. As far as i know there's no law that requires the plant to produce odd number of fingers.

If it was coming from a clone I would say the mother was very mature. But it might be something to keep an eye on of course, and turn out to be a clone mother for yourself.
I had on a variety seed grow sever plant come up with a very flowing wide leaf pattern. I was a common trait in about four of twenty plants, and I couldn't wait try to save the gene. They all turned out to be males, growing never cease to amaze me.
Good luck, and they look great.

Probably just means your doing it right man. As for the extra leaf I don't know, 9 fingers by your 3 rd is very nice, I was pumped when I spied just 5 fingers on my third leaf.

mutant. thats the random nature of genes. keep your eye on it, i saw a post on here where someone had little buds coming off the fan leaves where your mini-leaf is.

It's an indication of good genetics. Should be a strong & hardy plant. It's also a sign that she's happy of course. Piss her off and you'll know by the nuber of fingers on the leaf.

debs977, you should never pinch a leaf unless it's more than 50% dead. Leaves provide photosynthesis, the more the plant has, the more water, oxygen, CO2, and nutes it can break down in a given time period. If you have a thick canopy and you want light to shine through, just use some light LST to move the leaf to the side and open up your canopy. (tie one end of a string to the leaf, tie the other end to a hole you drilled in the planters rim, and use the string to move the leaf little by little)

When a plant laggs on throwing branches I supper crop to stimulate branch grwth .. You have less problems with ligh spectrum
