Sequence in the # of leaves points alterated?

I have always seen Cannabis showing a constant patter in the leaves sequence. After the cotiledona, they have first 1 point only , then 3, then 5, then 7 and so on, with Indica normally up to 7-9 and sativas up to 9+. I noticed repeating 3 pointed leaves, photo in week 6

This is a corerlation not a gaurantee, but it typically relates to health and stress levels of the plant. When healthy it'll progress each node with increasing number of fingers per leaf. Training or pruning can set this progression back, but should get back on track, all other factors remaining the same. Poor balance in nutrition will prevent it from progressing at all or cause weird number of leaves or missing the two small ones etc etc.. Genetics.. sometimes it's genetics too. your plant looks healthy, so are you acclimating it to the sun after being started indoors? that sort of thing could hit the pause button. maybe, iit's s ust a plant that doesn't easily get to 11 or 13 lobes. fast growth, healthy leaves... good bud development later. These are far more important things to observe. If this is happening don't worry too much about how many fingers it has. If anything is imbalanced, you will see symptoms at some point over 3-4 months. The other stuff you can't control anyway

1,3,5,7,9,11,13. Sometimes she will skip 5 goes straight to 7. Seen 11 a few times on my photoperiods but never a 13, not exactly sure what dictates sequence, generally speaking the smoother she grows the more fingers she develops but I can't say that with confidence being reason why.

There are many answers to this question. Genetically, your ruderalis is where the 3 point begins. Essentially all strains have the capacity to make off-pointed leaves, particularly below the norm as a shortcut during transitional phases. Sometimes the plants just do this genetically, sometimes stress, sometimes when they're happy... At this point in genetics with the plant, it is really a pointless question or observation IMO. Just because of how genetics works and the fact that 99.999999% of all strains folks alive have touched being modern hybrids.

Die ersten paar nodien werden immer mit weniger Finger ausgebildet , da die höheren mehr Photosynthese betreiben müssen da sie näher am Licht sind , also völlig normal ! :)

Das kann ein Fehler in der Genetik sein, oder sie entwickelt sie erst später, aber selbst wenn es nur 3 blättrige bleiben macht das der Pflanze nichts, sie wird trotzdem wachsen und es kann sein das sie da einfach etwas mehr Blätter bildet. Oder wie gesagt mit der zeit kommen mehr fingrige Blätter. Mach dir aber keine sorge sie sieht gesund aus. Und viel erfolg mit dem Grow
