Variegation
Variegation
Caused by random genetic mutation, or,
pigmentation overloads, or,
nutritional problems, or,
very rarely a virus, although these usually show up as mosaics.
Just take your cuts from non-affected shoots and you should be fine. It sounds like this is what PF is doing. That's what I do when I get this from time to time and it goes away.
BTW, JW was right about not adding N. I added too much accidentally and my glues are so delayed in flowering they look a good two weeks behind. Stupid f'n mistake. I should have known better after reading this whole thread.....Actually had all of the older fan leaves turn a very dark green and have ripples in them. Never seen this before and I was scared to death that I would lose them all. I thought it might be N toxicity, but, oddly,they didn't show leaf tip claw or leaf tip burn till much later which would have told me exactly what I did wrong instantly. When that happened I finally figured it out. I cut the N and the new growth on the vegging plants are back to normal and the flowering ones are finally getting back on track. Can anyone say 12 week glues...? Hope my next run looks more like your guys and not this mess I now have on my hands. Live and learn I guess.
Just my
hope this helps.
