I wouldn't worry too much about little leaf mutations like that, as long as the color and growth are normal, they are probably just fine. I've had that before too, how there are 4 big leaflets then 1 small one, never seemed to effect anything. I think its mostly genetics.
There looking good, I think you said something about how you can't wait til they get 5' tall?? If thats what you meant, I would not grow any plant 5' tall under a horizontal light. IMO plants that tall is only good for vertical lighting or outdoors. Again, I'm not sure if thats what you meant so correct me if I misunderstood.
Awesome! Thanks Lex! To answer your question, YES Im trying to get them to fit in the tent so Im going for large plants. Im breaking 44 inches on the tallest of the plants yet. I should probably explain a bit more in detail why I chose to do this.
My last grow was a cabinet grow of 3 plants using 4- 23 watt CFLs. After much debate and trial and error, I managed to pull off a 6 oz yield off of 3 18-20 inch plants. (GO BLUE DREAM!) When I was researching strains (I happen to have got some of mine from a reputable source with verified genuine genetics) I was looking for plants that had the potential to be large in the environment that I had planned. (I do not have the typical tent set up as it is. I had to improvise a bit to get what I needed as far as use) Heres a description from my source on the genetics that I chose.

No Info on the others because I didnt get them from the same place... As you can see from my pics, I have great light penetration through the canopy. I have some over/underlapping going on, but all in all its good. I wanted to use the tents space to my advantage. Hence growing these whoppers to to fit the inner dimensions of the tent. I didnt want any space within the tent to go to waste, but after setting everything up, the dehumidifier does take up valuable room in the tent that I did not account for (rookie move on my part, but hey wtfe! lol) After everything, Im really just trying to maximize what I have for the space that its in. PLEASE... IF MY LOGIC IS OFF... CORRECT ME!!
