Leaflet Number
Leaflet number refers to the count of individual leaflets comprising a single cannabis leaf blade. Most cultivars display leaves with either 5, 7, or 9 leaflets, though variations exist across strains and plant maturity stages. This trait is influenced by both genetic background and environmental conditions during development. Leaflet count has been documented in breeding records as a phenotypic marker useful for strain differentiation and plant identification. The characteristic remains relatively stable within established lines, making it a practical reference point in cultivation documentation and genetic cataloging.

Breeders monitor leaflet number as a morphological descriptor when documenting F1 and stabilized lines, since consistency in this trait can indicate genetic stability. Some breeding programs selectively work with strains expressing distinct leaflet patterns to reinforce broader morphological signatures within new crosses.
