two-toned leaf?

[Mojave Dave]

Hi all,

I found this little leaf near thr top oif one of my p,ants, the Jack Herer. Is that an indication of something wrong or just a leaf anomally? Whatcha think, folks?

 

[wikidcalibudgrl]

Hmmmm,,,, i had a few leaves that were like that ,,sorta,, mine were like camoflauged on the wierd half tho,, not "white".... I'd say check your pH,, then look into mass Iron def.,,, that's my best guess,, look through the sick plant thread by MNStitch,,, well my is spent Good Luck MDave
EDIT: Here's a leaf from my NL5xhaze,, it had the problem i stated above,, here's a pic of the tip of the effected leaf,,, it was just camo tho,, not white,,think i deleted the other pictures of that leaf, they aren't in my gllery anymore anyways,,

Im leaning towards anomaly. A deficiency would tend to show all over and not just one leaf.

I'd say anomally too. I've seen this on a few new sprout that I've had.

we do jack h too, will keep our eyes open..

NOT SO COMMON ANOMOLY!!!!!!!!!

may be a genetic mutation due to inbreeding??
obviously that section of the leaf is not producing chloraphyll

there was a thread on OG once where someone had the exact same thing, the exact same coloration and pattern as yours, Mojave Dave.

maybe try a search there, it was AT LEAST a year ago

beautiful by the way

hmmm

hmmm

I have seen this before as well,, not long ago,,
at a forum I left,, their grow section,,well,,
is much less advanced than here.
Dandaweedman is a mod there,, perhaps he could chime in.
My thought and response was,,
"Kewl,, now to propogate this and also enhance the potency,, as it would be very recognizable as a strain."
LOL,, "Ebony and Ivory"?

Some guy put a pic and a letter to ed in high times from france a few years back. His plant was more sativa and had many leaves that looked just as yours do, Dave.... I would say an anomaly as his plant was very large and healthy. Weird huh?

 

[Mojave Dave]

Well it's decided then...anomally get's my vote too. And it really is a beautful little thing in person...the colours are a stark and vibrant green with a razor-thein transition into a smooth lemon yellow.
I wish I could isolate the gene that does this in plants, and creat a strain where this anomally occurs throught the plant. Now that would be a very cool strain! Jack Herer is supposed to make yer sticker peck out anyway, and to have a strong plant that looks truly bitchin' would be great.

Maybe someone could take the reigns on this one and put something on the market in a few years!

I've had a few of them.

Pretty Anamolous Dave. I like the whorled effect. I've posted this somewhere on the net. I may even have a few beans from the plant this came from. It's either an Oaxacan X Garlic or Oax X MLI F2.

ALoha,

Dude, if not by chemical manipulation of the genome,

That looks like a cosmic particle passed through a special part of the gene and caused that unique mutation.

read up on cosmic rays genetic mutation if interested.



See ya

sounds interesting..il have to look that up...anyone ever seen a completly white plant before..there is a pic in an old WeedWorld some one sent in of a totallly white plant

The risks of damage to our bodies due to radiation exposure certainly give us good reason to be very wary of unnecessary exposure to nuclear radiation. However, it is important for us to keep things in perspective. We are constantly bombarded by nuclear radiation. The stars in our galaxy (as well as all other shining stars, and including our own sun) shine by virtue of nuclear reactions primarily in their cores. Particles created in these nuclear reactions can escape the stars’ surfaces and travel through space, some of which can eventually hit the earth’s surface (and us!). In addition, supernova explosions which occur during the death-stages of massive stars result in the emission of many high-energy particles.

The net result of all of this is that we are constantly bombarded by particles (mostly protons, electrons, and gamma rays, but also various other nuclei) from outer space. These particles are referred to as cosmic rays. In addition, these cosmic rays can interact with molecules in the earth’s upper atmosphere to create even more particles (known as secondary cosmic rays) which shower down on us here at the earth’s surface. It is estimated that approximately one high-energy (up to about 1020 eV!) cosmic-ray particle strikes the earth’s atmosphere per square-centimeter per second, and about two secondary cosmic ray particles reach the earth’s surface per square-centimeter per second. It has been proposed that approximately 2% of all genetic mutations of organisms on Earth are due to biological damage caused by cosmic rays. Since cosmic rays can be stopped by the earth’s atmosphere, it follows that the higher your altitude above the earth’s surface, the greater your exposure to cosmic radiation. For example, mountain climbers or airline passengers will have a slightly higher rate of exposure to cosmic radiation than people on the earth’s surface.

In addition to receiving radiation from above us, we are also constantly bombarded by radiation from beneath our feet. Naturally occurring radioactive elements in rocks in the earth’s crust are constantly emitting radiation in all directions, including upwards towards us.

anomally


I had the same type of trait show up on a couple Amazing Haze's I grew out earlier this yr (it was a indoor organic grow and I even ran a few diff soil nute and pH test...and nothing was wrong)

it went away on its own during late flowering..and the buds turned out great (just like the ones without the white leaf coloring)

 

[Dave Vanpot]

I think it has something to do with the roots. knatts or a bit of root fungis???? DVP

 

[Verite]

Don Knatts?

 

[Mojave Dave]

Don Knatts?

*GRIN*

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Well now, you'd just wait a minute, Buster!
