First off this is my first year growing AG's, but I've noticed something strange to me which maybe normal on AG plants. All season long my 4 plants were growing mostly 5 lobe females with a rare 6 or 4 lobe female. now that I've got everything "set" that I want to grow and have terminated secondaries and tertitaries I've notice in the last few days all the remaining females that have been opening on near the ends of the secondaries are ALL 3 lobe females except for one 4 lobe, is this pretty normal for AG late season females out 10ft+ on secondaries? Its happened on ALL 4 plants. Or Am I missing something in my soil?

Good Question! I'd be curious to hear a response from one of the more experienced growers. Try posting this on the general discussion board. :-)

The plants are now focusing more energy on the fruit that are set. High lobe counts increase seed counts. So the plant is demonstrating it's finite ability to produce seeds.
