You can have anywhere from 5 to 9 leaves, at least that's the most I've seen on a plant.  Indicas tend to have 5-7 range, Sativas tend to have more.


If your plant is sickly/stressed you can even have 1 leafed leaves.

Yep. Vegetative material is one possible indicator of plant health, additionally it is dependent on genetic variables.

In terms of how this can occur within one species, think of humans: brown hair, blonde hair, tall, short...how can this happen? Good old genetic diversity.

You can have 1 leaf up to 11 leaves.  The first leaf a plant grows from seed is often 1 leaf, followed by 3, then 5 and so on.  5-7 is most common.

I was thinking more along the lines of leaflets being the equivalent of fingers or toes.  Different numbers of fingers/toes don't occur within one species anywhere in the animal kingdom as far as I know (except for mutations).  There is a new breed of dog that has six toes on all its feet.  But this was only achieved through unnatural selection (breeding).

Anyway, I know plants are much different from animals, so I guess that was a bad comparison.  lol

Why would there be a need or desire for a dog to have 6 toes?  Ren was using hair as an example of genetic differences in humans, not making that kind of comparison you've drawn.

Let me be the first to say that 13 bladed leafs are very possible.

Regardless of how you understood what I said the fact remains that you're overanalyzing.
I was trying to keep it simple, but n/m...I'm saying what everyone else here is saying which is there is no standard for how many leaflets are on a plant.
