Queen seedling pinnate speed variability

[Kailua_Krish 449]

Hey all,

So I was thinking of something today while at the big box store, why do some queen seedlings go pinnate really early but others form very large strap leaves first. Its not a sun thing because you can see variability in a group of seedlings grown in the same conditions.

Ive noticed that the "Abreojos" queens keep the strap leaves for a long time while the smaller Uruguay queens go pinnate early with very tiny strap leaves before. Perhaps its related to the robustness of the eventual plant?

Thoughts?
