Whorled phyllotaxy, single bladed leaves and odd looking flowers... help?

[dj2quick]

Ok so this plant has had some trouble from the start, wasnt transplanted soon enough... but started to recover and started looking nice. with good healthy looking new growth.

in fact, still looks healthy, however the blades on the leaves have gone from 5 bladed, to 4, to 3, to 1 now on the new top growth. to make it more interesting, it seems to have developed whorled phyllotaxy, 3 evenly spaced leaves from new growth, all single bladed leaves. it has been flowering for maybe 3 weeks or so i really cant remember..

it has alternating nodes.

It is flowering but they are small, underdeveloped looking. and ive never grown before so i dont know if it could be a hermie, i wouldnt doubt it..

i can post a picture if you would like, just let me know..

i apologize in advance if any of these have been previously covered, im sure they have been. i have been a silent member for the most part, just reading and gathering info that this wonderful forum has to offer. ive searched on these topics just want to know what you guys think.

stinky if you're out there let me know haha

Pics.
What you are seeing is often called 'stress leaves' and points to a problem with the environment- usually irregular light schedule, or a light leak.

sorry if some of this data is a little lacking, i treat them more like houseplants and react to what they show me. if that makes sense... and i havent really kept a log or kept track of the dates of events like i should have. this was just for fun though. so yea..

well the batteries in my digital cam have died so cell phone pics will have to do until i can get some batteries recharged. thanks again ya'll i apreciate it! :smokin:

thought id go ahead and post some pics of the other 2
what do you think?


kinda hard to see in the second pic cause of the lights but i topped her so shes got two tops and tons of bud sites lol

any estimation on harvest time from these pics?

also i think i should add that this plant did not have whorled phyllotaxy in the beginning, only recently. and hell it might not even BE whorled phylotaxy, as each new leaf is alternate, i just know that from above, they are arranged in 3's and it sure looks like it. so, stinky, or others, if it is infact stress leaves, how do i go about correcting this or will it fix itself with the right circumstances?

They look fine and normal. Cannabis plants revert to single-bladed leaves during flower. Nice work.
