Hey gang, Ive got a pheno that has been showing a little leaf variegation. Ive read that this is due to a lack of chlorophyll. Its only affecting a few leaves, I will grab a pic later. Anyone have experience? Ive also read certain stains you should expect to see it (I believe it was a Chem D or 91 or 4). This is a GSCxChemD cross, but the other phenos don’t exhibit it. Ultimately, I need to clear a little tent room, just flipped to flower and it filled up. While the plant is perfect structure, curious if the variegation would cause it to be a candidate to be culled. TIA Tim ---

It happens all the time. You’ll get one leaf that is ‘harlequin’ and will eventually sort itself out. ---

Earlier this year I had a White Widow mom plant that grew these funny looking leaves. Half the blade was yellow with a bend towards that side. Not every leaf and not every branch. When the branch does show the leaf it will be like every 3rd node or so. Long story short, I have several plants from that mom. Some of which I plan to monster crop (clone from a flowering plant). I can plan on seeing this next year. ![IMG_1540](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/2/f/0/2f0560040967f103ce79f672ec38e7f2fe8810d2.jpeg) ---

Almost every white widow I’ve grown had some degree of variegation. Never caused an issue in my grows 👍 ---

I had the same leaves curl and half one color half the other most of them are gone ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/7/6/2/76218abe846a562c4c7443663fc5b3f399e6aee3.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/3/7/9/379b8991f94b59b72f3d857ba842936047f5359a.jpeg) All that’s left after defoliation ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/c/0/bc0079ddfa1f4b7d2b2e97c2c842b9ed2b30c554.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/7/e/5/7e5a197c9e1116009b39d5603fbc9bfd31a4148b.jpeg) ---

Thanks all. Here is the girl. I’ll just see how she does up till week 3. If she looks stunted or anything I’ll just pull her out. Thanks for input. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/3/e/13e9933cfdaa458539058e4acdad97c39a3459d1.jpeg)
