5 leaves male? 7 leaves female?

Ok so again I have roughly 10 plants ( I forget how many are growing) And I notice half of them have started get leaves of 7 while the others are geting leaves of 5....... So I was wondering does sex have to do with the number of leaves my babies get. ( All plants were germinated by seed) Now I know some of you guys might say that eventually the leaves of 5 will turn into leaves of 7, this wont be the case for my plants. I look at the newly forming leaves at the top and some a5 leaves while the others are growing 7's. Also I heard the Marijuana plants can actually get 9 leaves... True? False? Is the number of leaves on a plant have anything to do with sex??? funny this lil icon has 5leaves while this lil icon has 7 .... Help this stoner out guys!!! and girls!!!!

number of leaves is genitic noting to do with sex.....
i have some with eleven heard of more

The amount of leaf points has absolutely NOTHING to do with sex.


Young plants start out with single point, then 3 point, then 5 point, and eventually 7 point leaves. Sometimes when clones are planted they will go through a big growth spurt and start growing single point leafs for a while, but they will eventually start growing normal leafs again.

It has to do w/ the strain, sounds like your using more than one. The number of blades on a single leaf can range. I've personally seen a 13 blade leaf, and I wouldn't be surprised to see larger leaves.

O, and NO you cannot tell sex from the number of blades on the leaves.

since no one actually said it the only way sex can be determined is by the presex white hairs female balls (more than 1 in a spot) male.... which can be found where the nodes meet the branch

This is true, your post is a bit unclear though, looks like your saying "white hairs female balls"

white hairs are female

Balls are male

true... thanks for clarifying... that was what I was trying to say

thanks you guys but Im pretty sure that all that plants came from the same strain, who knows as long as its some good ass weed im happy!

dude you could have 69 leaves and guess what still could be a female or a male lol!

you cant tell sex bye leaves and it dont matter how many you hot ive seen em up to 11 and down to 3 i think the more the better they take in more of the stuff they need

More is not better, usually if you have an indica strain you'll have less blades, but they will be thicker. Vice versa sativas have more blades, but tend to be skinny and finger like. Both strains probably have about the same surface area, and every plant is strain is different.

Hmmmm, this is all good advice guys appreciate it

ive read that the number of leaves in your upper sets depends on your lighting and growing conditions compared to what it has seen in the past genetically

i see my 1st 5 blade leaf too early to sex my plant?

i have some kush bagseed with 11 blade leaves wondering the strain though?came from dark, tight, slightly purplish buds.any suggestions?

even is male and odd is female you can test it but books from teh 1970's when i was growing up said leaves of even the plant is a steven; odd is lady you love with femi not sure since that was just becoming a thing but when i used to grow we found this to be correct that any even number plants sexed male when flowered and odd plants budded
but now in teh fancy age of the google machines you can work the internets and not fine this info anywhere

I think 5 leaf plants are democratic and 7 leaf republican. Either could be male or female.
