White Leaves

[Kikuss]

Hi everyone, I need advice, I have a plant that germinated 3 days and I noticed that it has white leaves, I would like to know if something normal or not.

I must be colour blind, they genuinely look green to me.

My guesses
Either it got burnt. Or it's naturally variegated.

Probably nutrient burn?

 

[Mr. J]

Did you put it in the sun?

Probably nute burning them slightly by keeping the medium too dry?

At the very edges of his first marijuana leaves there is some browning, which to me would say the soil is too hot for seedlings. It's really subtle though, so personally I would probably leave them be and keep an eye on them.

Ah right, I didn't see that on my 5" phone screen.
So the answer is fairly simple, a little extra distance from the light and less water until its bigger.

What soil did they go in?

If it was anything other than a weak seedling mix its nute burn..

 

[Mr. J]

Yes

Sometimes the direct sun is a bit too much for a seedling that young, it's happened to me before.

Mate ... once upon a time in my distant past a friend showed me a plant that was variegated like your is. This guy didn't like not knowing so he dug up the big plant and found its roots had grown around a large limestone rock.


So my question would be: how well is your soil mixed? Are there any big lumps of stuff in there ... like limestone.


Just water the plant. The issue will go away, I predict, as root growth increases.

 

[GMT]

As root growth increases yes, but not at that size. All adding more water will do is wash more nutes over the roots exaggerating the problem.

 

[Mr. J]

Maybe it is variegated. It looks like the edges are crispy to me but the picture really isn't good enough to tell for sure.
