Not necessarily. I’ve seen single variegated branches with no signs anywhere else on the plant. As in the pic GB posted above.

Thats because its an mericlinical or sectional chimera. If its periclinical it would be more uniform. The pigments are absent randomly vs in an orderly fashion due to gene instability
The most stable chimera type is the periclinal chimera.
In this type of chimera, one entire layer in the meristem contains the mutation.
A single cell in a layer undergoes a mutation and by anticlinal cell divisions an entire layer becomes genetically different from the other two layers.
This is a common type of chimera for variegation.
The mericlinal chimera is an unstable chimeral form.
Like the periclinal chimera, only one meristem layer contains mutant cells, but in this case they only extend across a portion of the cell layer.
This is often a transition stage where the meristem will eventually form a stable periclinal chimera or lose the mutation.

They're looking a little thirsty....but they're not. Not sure what's going on. They still have another 3 - 4 weeks i figure.

How's your drainage in those buckets? they look like they could use a rinse.

Lot's of holes drilled all the way around and I water them until it drains. They've done this before and then perked back up for no apparent reason. The weather hasn't been the warmest for August so that might be an issue. I just gotta keep them happy for another month. lol

Is your mix staying too wet though? I like a two day dry down cycle max. Timewarp is also kind of a strange bird tho

I don't think it's too wet. I use a hydrometer and don't water until it's in the red (dry) zone. I'm only using organic nutrients but probably not enough.
I grew one indoors and it is amazing smoke, hoping for the same from these.

I haven't seen any bugs, but I've been fighting off pm for months. Just using hydrogen peroxide & water.

Looks tight in there to be lifting pots though but that is the tried and tested way for watering for me.i work camp work so my plants are good when im home then when i go away for 2 weeks i have the wife and kid minimally watering so i dont wnd up fighting root rot. I have nightmares about that shit. My qorst enemy besides mites

I don't lift them often. The watering varies...average about 3 times/wk.
I'm going to fill that trough with dirt next year and skip the buckets. Didn't have time this year.

Second time I've gotten that same recommendation tonight. lol Gotta get me some of that!

I also push my waterings as far apart between waterings as i think they explode the furter apart my regular waterings are but when i plan to fert i will catch them alittle sooner so they are not crazy dry. Being able to know thats what the problem is if any issue happens. Its easy to figure out if you know you are light on water.
Then yer sure
