Variegated Vanilluna

Here's my freaky DJ Short Vanilluna at 52 days sporting some cool colors and variegation ...

Very ice job bringing her to fruition, the varigated plants are definitely not a strong or healthy as most.

I saw a few of these plants in the selections room for DJ's F13, Blue Krush, Trueblueberry, OLD Time Moonshine but they didn;t have the verigated character to the flowers. I hope you've kept a cutting alive to see if the trait is reliably reproduced. A garden full of those would be something.

Very nicely done, I think this should be pic of the month myself, truely a rare specimen.

Respectfully,

One has to wonder if these plants are here to please all of our senses. afghanica thanks for the great pictures. DJ thanks for the work.

Some Wonka-esque images filled my mind after I read this.

STUNNING shots!

That mix of green, pink, yellow and orange looks good enough to eat.

Really cool I have only ever read about this in genetics never seen real pictures. You have any fan leaves variegated?

Incredible pheno, congrats on the POTM nomination Afghanica, I agree with what Sqwirl said - makes you wanna buy a pack to try and find this gem, definately try and re-veg it to take some cuttings if you haven't already got them backed up man

Thanks Chimera, and everyone else.

The variegation on this plant occurs only on one side branch. All the way up that branch, leaves are variegated, and as you can see it extends partially to the calyxes as well. The rest of the plant is free of this.
I have a cutting, but so far it doesn't show the variegation at all.

Wow, that's just beautiful. I grew out VL and got alot of really dark purple, almost black, rock hard buds. Nothing like that pink and cream thing.

I wonder on the finished product.... how different will the smoke be to a non-varigated plant?












..

Beautifull either way :D

Lovely colorations! I like the green, purple AND white in the Vanilluna. Loverly stuff. :)

To answer you, bacchus, the white portions of the bud taste GREAT!!!!!! No chlorophyll in it anywhere! Chlorophyll isn't exactly a smoker's best friend as far as taste is concerned, so smoking a bud without it is truly an interesting experience.

I smoked the totally white portion of the above buds with a friend, Stinkymutt, about a year ago. We both were totally lambasted and surprised at how tasty the bud was. The lack of chlorophyll really made it taste extra primo.

On the bad side of the argument, variegated plants aren't as strong physically as normal plants. This is true even in landscape shrubs.

Hope you don't mind these pics in your thread.

peace, good will,

p.s. this plant is "Sharon" White Widow, from Lonestar's stable.

Very beautiful plant indeed. I have not seen anything like this before. I have seen a bit of variegation in some Blue Haze cuts that have been going for five or more years. I though it was from the age of the cut's as the original I grew the first year had no variegation at all.

Anyone else get variegation from old cuts?
