Leaf discoloration, but seemingly healthy? - Indoor Grows - Hydro - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hello. First time here. I have a 3 week(ish) plant growing in a bucket with clay pebbles. I don’t know the strain. It seems to be doing well except for this discoloration on the leaves. Please see picture. I’m pretty sure it began in the seedling stage and now continues, not getting any worse or any better (I don’t think). Doesn’t seem like nutrient disorder or heat or the usual, at least to me. I’m a new grower. I also can’t remember exactly when I started feeding it or if I started with a lesser dose. Presently it is being fed half strength. Roots look good I think. Could it be a trait of the strain? I have reason to believe it’s Jamaican, if that means anything.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Sorry for crooked pics. Can’t figure how to...

Mine looked like that after I foliar sprayed with neem oil and sodium bicarbonate to mitigate a powdery mildew issue. I sprayed after dark to avoid damage from the neem-o but used too much baking soda. I misread the instructions and used tablespoons rather than teaspoons (tbs vs. tsp). The leaves looked exactly like that the next day after I rinsed off the excess powder.

Thanks for your reply. I haven’t done that, but I do spray occasionally with Thrive Alive Green. Hmmm. I’ll lay off and see what happens. I only spray to satisfy the itch to mess with them. Ha!
