No clue. I just know what I read and c. Never seen it and I typed what I read. Now the subject has surpassed my scope. I'm in search of the same answer. I guess now we wait. Frankly I don't feel like doin the research right now. So I believe I'll wait for a respected members opinion on this until I'm satisfied. Good question tho (the original question).
my girls started to get staggering branches by the third branch.......i have 15 girls and all but two started by the third branch....they were no where close to maturity
You've been posting your photos with an extra "https://"on the front end. I suspect when you're cutting and pasting the url from the photo gallery, you're not overwriting the existing "https://" that is there by default. I noticed it and looked before I hit your last posts in the thread.
In my experience, staggered branches are absolutely normal as the plant grows. They're only even when the plant is very young. Once it grows a bit, the branches should stagger at fairly even intervals.
