maybe a dumb question but what the hell is alternating nodes?
when the branches on either side dont line up; they're staggered.... if that makes any sense

if you go 12/12 befor the plant is mature this is true on the other hand if you veg a plant long enough into maturity pre-flowers and alternate nodes are plenty to be seen. this you would normaly find after 7-10 weeks veg strain dependent

Out of 3 different strains I've got going, 2 of the strains were alternating by the second week I would guess (which I thought was unusual). But 1 of the strains still isn't alternating after 5 weeks... it just seems really variable.

It's strain dependent…I've got a God's Gift at 6 weeks that has just started alternating nodes, but my Pennywise of the same age hasn't. Jillybean started alternating at 6 weeks.
These are all sativa-indica hybrids. If you've got a purer sativa, it might take longer.

Thats like the owl asking how many licks to the center. The plant will start alternating nodes when it's mature or forced to flower as mentioned. This time is strain dependent, but somewhere between 4-8 weeks it will happen naturally. If you document your info about this you can help the next person.
