The 'Headband' cut I've held since 2006 (originally out of Humboldt) looks identical to what trades as 'Original Diesel' these days and it definitely has variegation. If the plant is very happy you'll usually only see it right after you flip to flower. If the plant has issues it'll be the first sign.

Not to start a flame war with anyone but funny when plants are “happy” you don’t see much or any virus either; one man’s variegation is another’s virus….
I’ve had talks about this at length too many times so will not beat that dead horse again; but if you’re a grower of many species and plants, you’ll realize often the two are “undistinguishable” and will just throw that out there for others to ponder, consider….
I prefer my plants to not have variegation, often I can cut out ahead of it….. what’s that called boys & girls…..
It ain’t bro science that’s FFC
Viruses are communicable, I've had this cut for 17 years and I've never had any of my other plants show the same trait.

Check out Don Huber and molybdenum effect on virusIt’s kinda like people claiming double or triple serrated leaves are genetic pheno markers, or are they signs health, or too much N or….

I replied to your post but my point was more in general, with that said......
this to me can be telltale
"If the plant is very happy you'll usually only see it right after you flip to flower. If the plant has issues it'll be the first sign."
Do you think plant variegation (based on prior inherited mutations (stable) or chimeric (random) in nature) is based on health, or more likely viruses showing..?
also refer I said indistinguishable - I've seen many posts from users across many forums showing clear virus claiming it's variegation, often the two can be confused, in cannabis it seems this happens very, very often....
and yes you are absolutely correct, viruses spread....... and some plants are variegated... BUT plants consistently variegated are stable (mutation, inherited) and thus show themselves as stable......
I don't doubt yours could very well be chimeric mutation; it's just often I see people calling clear virus variegation etc, and the difference is of course critical.....
17 years no spread, I trust you know what your doing, I'll take your word for it

A genetic abnormality can limit a plant's ability to uptake the needed micro-nutrients needed, it will express as variegation. There will be other symptoms along with variegation that boost the odds of a virus being present. Variegation in cannabis is common. If you are not taking in clones and keep a clean/healthy garden the odds of any viruses getting in are Minuet.

are you writing to me or OJD.... are you from NY..? I am.....and pulled a seed out a elbow of Sour D in 2001 in upstate, where I'm from and live, that's where all those plants came from...
ultimately I don't give a shit about the many tall tales that people tell about their seeds, all I do is provide the truth and exact provenance as best I can as I know it and am able to provide.
If it's not Sour to another, that's fine, shit is fire and I love it anyhow so does everyone else.... Thanks for those details
Peace Y'all
