Legítimo® #5 (F1) represents a remarkably homogeneous first generation with a clearly structured developmental pattern. This line combines a compact, indica-oriented juvenile phase with a distinct morphological transition later in growth.
During the early stage, plants display upright growth, short internodes, and broad leaf formation. Between the 4th and 5th internode, a visible structural shift occurs: internodes elongate, leaf architecture changes, and the plant develops a flexible, climbing growth habit.
After approximately three months, autonomous flowering begins. Lower buds mature fully while the apical tips continue producing new floral sites. This results in staggered ripening and an extended flowering period lasting into early autumn.
Characteristics
Highly uniform F1 expression
Indica-style juvenile phase
Morphological shift at 4th–5th internode
Climbing structure in later stages
Autonomous, long-lasting flowering
Multi-stage ripening pattern
Legítimo® #5 stands for structural transformation, vitality, and developmental precision.
The flowering phase is approaching. Even before the first visible floral structures appear, clear morphological changes can be observed in the leaf formation.
A characteristic trait of Legítimo® #5 (F1) is a transitional stage where the plant temporarily produces single-blade or weakly segmented leaves. Shortly before floral initiation, distinctly fingered leaves reappear.
This pattern resembles the development observed in GPP-type lines and certain “Swag” phenotypes, where leaf simplification precedes the reproductive phase and is followed by renewed leaf segmentation.
These structural changes indicate:
hormonal transition is already underway
the plant is shifting from vegetative to generative growth
flowering is imminent
The alteration in leaf morphology is therefore part of the programmed developmental cycle rather than a stress response.
