There isn't a difference, it doesn't mean anything. You get leaf variation between different plants, or even on the same plant.

the amount of fingers on the leaves mean nothing....sativas usually have more fingers as they are more narrow.

It can be an indicator of relative health. If the plant is healthy enough, and receiving enough light to use them, the plant will continue to increase the number of fingers on successive leaves. 9,11,13, and more are quite possible on indicas or sativas as long as the plant is in good condition and getting enough light.

most of all of my plants have nine fingers on it.. just mostly the top bigger fan leaves will have nine and the smaller bottom fan leaves will have seven.. doesn't man a thing really..

These 2 have 9 and 11 leaves, I broke another branch that had 11 and the other leaves are in a little worse shape, this is the best looking one. One of my leaves I believe had 13 blades at one point.

awesome 11. thats cool.
so my 9 leaves are very thin and folding in half the long way.
some are also twisting, the color doesnt look bad just a tad on the light side.

A-When every new fan leaf has more finger(Blade) than previous one.Normally , in a healthy marijuana plant,the number of fingers is as follow:
1st fan leaf has 3 fingers(photo 1)
2nd fan leaf 5 fingers,photo 2 and 3
3rd fan leaf 7 fingers(6 is acceptable) photo 4
4th fan leaf 9 fingers(8 is acceptable)photo 5
5th fan leaf 11 fingers(9 and ten is acceptable)
After the fifth internodes all fan leaves should have 9 to 11 fingers but 12 blade is a possibility(photo 6)
Ps: some strains genetically, never show more than 7 fingers , even in the best grow situations. I
B-When every fan leaf has its side branch even the first fan leaf and the side branches don’t stop growing at anytime during veg cycle(photo 7, part B)


c-The stem of a healthy plant has normally some scaling on it due to fast growth of the body compare to limited ability of skin stretch(photo 7 ,part D)


D-When the first small pseudo leaf (photo 1 part 1) keeps its green color and does not turn yellow


E- when the plant shows its preflower on time( some strains have natural tendency not to show their preflower on time) . In every strain the presence of the preflower is a good sign but its absence does not mean any problem.


F- When side branches fan leaves has 7 finger leaf(photo 5).

AGAIN I SHOULD SAY ABSENCE OF ANY OR SOME OREVEN ALLOF THESE SIGNS DOES NOT MEAN ANY SERIOUS PROBLEM BUT THEIR PRESENCE IS A GOOD INDICATION OF A SUPER HEALTHY PLANT.

What do you think?

Please leave your comment.It will be most appreciated.
Peace and Hope all your plants are SUPER HEALTHY.

13 fingers on this leaf.,a bit hard to see, but you can count 12 on one picture and the other pic sort of shows how they layer once the stem has filled all the way round/2014-03-19 09.01.22.jpg 2014-03-19 09.01.27.jpg
 
My plants 4 inches tall now and has sprouted her first 9 leaf... Plants don't have to be that tall and it doesbt have to necessarily be the top leaves.. Although, lol technically, in my case since she just sprouted the 9 leaf at 4 inches I guess that's still the top.. But it will very soon be the bottom..
