Whats your biggest leaf?

Well, I can't argue with evidence, can I? :D Nor was I arguing, just relating what I observed... I saw it with my own eyes... multiple instances, different trees.... always the leaves that get less light measured by my trusty MQ-500 Full-Spectrum Quantum Meter... :D
I agree with ya, less light they grow larger to "get" more light.
This was visible when I grew indoors.
But all mine are out now and I will admit....it's only a few that have very large leaves.
The majority are regular sized. :)
 
Right now it’s my unk Celeste, oddly enough last year the leaves looked nothing like this—they were typical Celeste type leaves.

What was the actual percentage of trees with all large leaves you observed?
This year, in my basement grow tent, I observed massive leaves on 3 out of 6 trees. Those were WM#1, Galicia Negra and DSJG. Each had only a few massive leaves, the rest were 'normal' size. I especially noticed this on GN, where leaves were enormous and exactly on the side shaded out by the larger I-258. Also noticed very large leaves on 4 (out of 7 in total) smaller trees in my garage tent. No large leaves on the three large, more mature and taller trees that were getting more light. Also, in another location, noticed very large leaves on several trees that were close to the south facing window and not directly under grow lights. They exhibited a mix of very large and small leaves. One tree, VDS, had mostly very large laves with the exception of normal size leaves at the top of the tree. Last, year, I can't recall all the details, but I remember Tia Penya had a few massive leaves, which at some point I removed as they were shading other leaves out, and I didn't have any more of those.
 
So far in this thread, 8 persons have submitted photos of their large leaves. Three of them are in full sun. Thus, so far 37.5% are receiving plenty of light.
Add mine to the list. I didn't upload pics, but all of my trees get full intense FL sun, from sun-up until sun-down, and Ondata and De la Roca both have impressively huge leaves. Some varieties just get big leaves.
