Do you know if potency/quality is affected?No sorry you don't have a hybrid it just happens once in a while. A cell probably didn't get the cue to divide in I believe Mitosis. Trying to remember high school biology lol
It won't be.Do you know if potency/quality is affected?
Every now and then a leaf in development is right on the border between, say, five and seven leaflets. It's possible for there to be a gradient in the applicable growth hormone across the bud, so that half the leaf grows five-pointed; the other half seven. I've had leaves in which one of the outer leaflets was almost but not entirely missing. cnMother Nature favors odd numbers.
From the leaf stem's point of view, the leaf can grow in 3 directions -- out, left and right.
As leaves grow and put on weight and size it would harm the plant to grow one leaf at a
time. Leaf would be unbalanced. So you start with an odd number and add only even numbers.
Can't be anything but an odd number of blades in a balanced mature leaf.
