Strain Quality

I have been hearing a couple different things about how to tell the quality of your preferred strain. One of the things I'm hearing is the number of petals on the fan leaves. Is this true, if your plant has seven petals, is it considered to be better than a plant with five petals on their leaves?

I tell the quality by putting it in my pipe and adding some sort of flame. Does it smoke smooth, does it make my lungs feel like they are on fire? Do I get the desired effect (does the pain in my shoulder go away).

The number of petals on the fan leaves depends on how old the plant is. The older the plant the move leaves on the fan leaf.

I wasn't asking for a smart ass answer dude. I know how to test the weed to see if its good shit or not. I was simply asking if there is a big difference in weed with 5 petals and weed with more. I've seen 5 and 7 petals on most plant I've delt with. I was just curious...

I wasn't giving you a smart ass answer. I answered your question. I told you how 99% of the marijuana population tells if they have quality stuff and I also told you there is no correlation between the number of fan leaves and the quality of the smoke. What more do you want?

Though I agree that as the plant grows the new leaves have more blades than the older ones, I think that the maximum number of blades on a mature plant is a genetic trait. I don't believe there is any real correlation between the genes that decide the number of blades on a leaf and the genes that play into the dankness of the buds, or even to the overall quality of the strain.
