Your Cannabis Leaves Have Fingers by Sirius Fourside |
We all know the standard image of the cannabis leaf, right? I think by this point we’ve all seen it about a million times imprinted on lighters, shirts, websites and just about everywhere else!
|
Now before you examine the picture too closely, answer this: How many fingers is a cannabis leaf supposed to have?
Don’t feel bad if you don’t know; I didn’t know off the top of my head and it’s kind of a trick question anyway.
Cannabis leaves normally change the number of fingers (formally called ‘leaflets’, ‘segments’ or ‘lobes’) on their leaves as they mature.
The number we’re familiar with
seeing is the leaf with 7 fingers, but cannabis leaves can naturally grow leaves with only a single finger up to leaves with 13 fingers!
Cannabis leaves start smaller though, with fewer fingers. Here's what leaves generally look like from seedling to adult.
Seedling Two round cotyledon leaves, then two "real" (serrated) single-finger cannabis leaves Next, the single-finger leaves expand, and the next set is usually 3-finger leaves Next, the cannabis plant will start making 5-finger leaves Finally, most cannabis plants stop at 7-finger leaves If you look closely at the above plant, you can see that some of the newer leaves on this plant actually have 9 fingers. Here's an
example of a leaf that has grown 9 fingers:
9 Fingers It's completely normal for cannabis plants to have 9, 11, or even 13 points on their fingers. This is just a natural way that some leaves grow. It's also common to get single-blade leaves
growing directly off your colas.
Sugar Leaves These single-finger leaves are often called "sugar leaves" and they are much smaller than regular leaves, with a base tucked mostly inside the bud; they are completely normal on colas! Now That You Know What's Normal...
These Sugar Leaves Have a Long Base Like Regular Adult Leaves Uncommon mutation - not like regular sugar leaves This Entire Plant Grew with Single-Finger Leaves And Yet Another Strange Plant with Single-Finger Leaves Want even more strange leaves?
Look What Happens When You Re-Veg a Plant...
Re-Vegged Plants A re-vegged plant will grow round single, triple, or quintuple pointed leaves at first, before it starts growing regular serrated leaves.
Re-vegetating a plant means you take a
flowering/budding plant and put it back in the vegetative stage. It is also sometimes referred to as "Monstercropping" or "Monster Cropping." This refers to the fact that a revegged plant will tend to grow much bushy than a plant grown from seed.
Some growers like to reveg a plant on purpose after harvest, instead of throwing it away.
Benefits to re-vegging (monster
cropping) - you don't have to plant a new seed or clone
- possibly saved vegetative time
- no need to dispose of harvested plant
- re-vegged plants grow back more bushy (sometimes to an
extreme)
Downsides to re-vegging (monster cropping) - it takes a long time for a flowering plant to re-veg
- initial growth is strange and stretchy,
with round leaves
- plant training may be more difficult
- yields may be lower than first time around
Sometimes re-vegging happens by accident - a grower puts their flowering plants outdoors too early in the year, and the plant reverts back to vegetative growth. Sometimes a grower will start
flowering a plant, and have to return it to the vegetative stage for some other reason. In all these cases, the plant will display these strange rounded leaves for a while until it gets back in the swing of things.
Re-vegged by accident
Close to Harvest Right After Being Brought Outside Too Early in the Year, Causing Re-Veg Plants Can Also Re-Veg If You Clone a Plant That's Already Budding! Here's two clones from a flowering plant...
Clones From A Flowering Plant
Get your cannabis with that regular-plant look! |
You've seen some weird mutations today, but there are strains with stabilized mutations! What does that mean?
That means you can grow plants
that still smell and smoke like buds, but they look like a strange desert plant!
Behold, Dr. Grinspoon!
