Never seen this before, white streaks or light discoloration? Anyone know what I’m looking at here? 8 days old, Northern lights auto, FFOF soil, humidity 70%, temperature 73F, 600 W full spectrum LED 32" away. ![IMG_3825](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/e/6/fe6e30e7194a0d3e2db5b87d6a6b05167616c47c.jpeg) ---

I forget the word used to describe that look but I’ve had it on a couple and if that’s what it is it isn’t a concern. I don’t see the look as any deficiency or issue other than genetics and that word I can’t remember that describes that look ---

i have a NL auto that recently popped and the first leaves had the exact same thing in a few small spots but it is doing just fine. ---

Are you spraying anything on the leaves that might leave a residue? ---

Found the post I read the other day and the word is variegated > [@Epsom salt how to](https://ilgmforum.com/t/epsom-salt-how-to/40667/9): > > I agree 100%. Surprised it’s not symmetrical n the other side. This is just genetics, and nothing you can do. I had a Super Lemon Haze that had a variegated leaf, just on half of the fan leaves. When I cloned it, I forgot to label one, figured out which one that one was real quick. Realistically the rest of your plant looks great, well fed. Generally deficiencies show symmetrically and uniformly across the plant. This is why I agree with the variegation. Maybe that’s what your seeing… ---

Natural lighting to be sure. If you can. ---

Thank you guys! I also had this happen on an Onyx plant but it was only on the first set of leaves then it was fine. Thank you for the reassurance. I will snap some pics tonight in natural light when I get home.
