No.
Not staggered. OFFSET in size. I'm ashamed you think I don't know what staggered is
I guess I'm gonna have to get a few pics to show what I mean.
Staggered - This is what you are talking about. Plant matures and switches to staggered mode.

Dead even - This is usually from seed but can be done on clones taken early. This is the trait I look for in a new plant.

OFFSET - This, IMO, is when a plant is weak. I hate taking clones from this type of plant growth. The smaller side branch is always weak as shit. The bigger sized branch still carries the trait of OFFSET branches. I never take clones from this type of plant. The reason is that all the good branches will be staggered on one side of the plant and the tiny branches on the other side do nothing. They stay tiny and never amount to anything.

I hope this explains what I meant
