Never saw this before, any ideas?

OK, so we all have watched, as plants mature, that the leaves start with three fingers, go on to five, seven, nine, etc. I have a plant growing outdoors which has really taken off in the last week, but all the new growth has only three fingers per leaf. The plant looks amazingly healthy otherwise, just thought I would write and see what everyone else thinks about this. If you need pica I can post some.

Its because of the change in conditions. Fans leaves directly correlate to the growing conditions. They are obviously not the best at the moment.

Yep, hit them with some Nitrogen; that's what makes leaves.

do not change what you've been doing unless you want your next post to be about how to fix the problems you started here. i'm sure one on the resident botanists on site, which wouldn't be me, can tell you why the number of blades change, but i would bet a good yield it has nothing to do with the health of the plant and is caused by genetics or changing growing conditions.
