Derby's Fly By Night Photos

Not unless you see it getting worse, variegation should stay fairly consistent with leaves not getting any more yellow.
I agree derby bro I've had those show up but it didn't have any negative impact bro
 
So really nothing to do.

Hey @Derbybud , looking good and nothing to worry about - variegation is quite common.
FYI - Here's a quick snippet from RQS's Tips n Tricks:

VARIEGATION
Also known as albinism, variegation is one of the most beautiful mutations of cannabis. This can occur either fully or partially. This mutation results from a plant’s inability to produce chlorophyll. It can occur on leaves, the heads of buds, or can wash out the entire plant in white.

In the most extreme cases, plants will not live very long as chlorophyll is necessary in the production of sugars for plant energy and development.


Variegation also means lower yields. A lessened ability to photosynthesise equates to slower growing plants. That said, some variegated plants can grow to be quite tall.


Hey Derby and buds, I have some big, thick buds I harvested. Do you cut them up to dry better before I put them in the paper bags for the fridge?

Hey @Sicivan ,

There are tricks to drying huge colas in hot humid climates or cool dry climates, but that likely does not apply to you.

In general, we want buds to 'dry' for at least a week in an environment near 70°F (21°C) and 50% RH. Otherwise, we are at risk of a lingering "hay" smell and possibly mold.

Drying strategies and drying times vary widely, but most agree that drying too quickly is not good - and many want a nice even dry rate to the 58%-65% cure range so the bacteria can start breaking down the chlorophyll.

In the past, my choice was to wet trim, wash, then cut up my 12" tight HSO Chemdawg colas for a more consistent one week dry in a climate controlled tent with an exhaust. Overall, it actually took me about three weeks to get to the cure zone.

Thanks dr for the nice snip it on the variegation. Might just clip those few leaves showing it.
Sicivan was looking for help on drying the low & slow method that's done in a frig. Totally different drying procedure than tent drying. Usually takes 2 week's minimum and never any hay smell cause your preserving terpines better.
 
I agree with everyone on the variegation thing but there was one time I had a plant like this and I first thought the same. Then it started to spread to other plants and I knew instantly there was something not right. Looked at ph that was not it. nutrients and run off was good. Then I went down to the roots and discovered I had RA root aphids. Those are seriously the most dreaded pest and I couldn’t get rid of them had to scrap the whole grow like everything was fucked. I always thought spider mites were bad and yes while they are bad they are easy to address and get rid of if your on top of your girls and you catch it early. Root aphids are much more resilient
Those are pretty sick those cages I might have to try that out. Just thought I would share.
 
@Derbybud have you heard anything about Ohio going recreational with 6 plants being allowed in each home?
Where did you hear that Penny. I sure hope it happens in Ohio. I haven't heard anything about it
