The number of points on a cannabis leaf is primarily influenced by genetics, the plant's maturity, and environmental factors.
Grape Guava is an Indica Hybrid. Hmmmm
Genetics: The plant's genetics are the most important factor in determining the potential number of leaflets. Sativa-dominant strains are more likely to develop leaves with a high number of leaflets, sometimes producing 13 or more. In contrast, indica strains typically have fewer, broader leaflets, usually between 5 and 9.
Maturity: A cannabis plant's leaves gain more leaflets as it matures.
Seedling stage: The first true leaves after the initial cotyledons emerge with a single leaflet, followed by sets with 3, then 5.
Vegetative growth: Healthy, mature plants will consistently produce leaves with 7 to 9 leaflets, though 11 or 13 is possible.
Fast growth: A mature plant growing quickly in ideal conditions with plenty of light and proper nutrients is more likely to show a higher number of leaflets.
Environmental conditions: Optimal growing conditions can push a plant to express its genetic potential for more leaflets.
High light: A fast-growing plant with ample light is more likely to develop leaves with 9, 11, or 13 leaflets.
Stress: Environmental stresses, such as unusual lighting schedules, can sometimes cause mature plants to produce leaves with fewer leaflets than normal.
Blue light causes stomata, the pores on plant leaves, to open by activating a signaling pathway within the guard cells. This process involves phototropin photoreceptors, which initiate plasma membrane H+-ATPase activation, pumping protons out of the cells. This creates an electrical potential that drives potassium (K+) uptake, causing guard cells to swell and the stomatal pore to open, allowing gas exchange.

In essence, you're seeing a combination of the infrared light reflected by the plant, which the camera perceives as red, and any residual visible blue light the plant reflects, which results in a purple hue.
