New microscope came! This thing is definitely strong enough to see them, if I've got any type of mites. For anyone looking for what type of microscope to buy: the cheap cheap ones, $20 and under probably won't cut it, and will be a waste. I found that the $35-$40 range (check Amazon) has some...

I'll also extremely curious to check out my eggplant with the scope. It's in a different room on a window sill, but the eggplant was in with the white widows under the same CFLs for a couple days when they were all babies. I've definitely learned my lesson about keeping house plants away! And...

So the microscope is on its way, should be here in a couple hours and then I'll get down to some good old-fashioned scrutiny. Until then, I've got pics of both mothers together, the one 'affected' and the one that never was, at least not to my eyes. The 'clean' plant is the front left, with the...

I can't see a large enough version of your avatar pic to make it out, but the other two, along with what I've read elsewhere has convinced me to order a microscope, so we'll know for sure within 12 hours I think. I'm still not quite convinced, or maybe I'm just overly optimistic and don't love...

Damn, I was hoping not to get more people suggesting broad mites, but I appreciate the feedback. To those of you who have experienced the mites before, what do you think of the description of a two-tone mutation (variegation) on this page...

I've done a little more reading, and it seems like its either broad mites or a genetic mutation. A mutation would most likely have no affect on yield and is obviously not contagious, but would show up in clones. A broad mite infestation would also show up in clones (from mites living on the cut...

Just a quick update here: I found a thread with someone growing white widow (same strain) and having a problem that looks exactly the same as what mine look like (specifically picture 1). https://www.rollitup.org/t/white-widow-veg-stage-leaves-curling-sideways.441460/ This was back in 2011, but...

Thanks for the tip! I'm not currently running CO2, so it may take more effort to get everything sealed off and run it than the suggested chemical treatments would take, but I'll definitely factor it into my research if I confirm broad mites. That, and the suggestions regarding 120 degree F heat...

Interesting and horrifying deduction! I did some reading up on broad mites, and would love for it not to be that! I've only got a 40x jewelers loupe, and haven't been able to identify any mites so far. I've given the underside of the leaves a once-over, and nothing was moving or looked amiss...

Yea, as I said its definitely growing faster than my other plant which is all the darker shade. Not much of a sample size, though, I'll be curious to compare it to other seeds of the same strain/source and see what other phenos I get and how they compare. I'll definitely be keeping this one...

I'm guessing by the lack of responses, this is much more rare than I had assumed. I'm going to publish updates to the thread with my findings, to help get this question answered for others down the road. As of now I am almost 6 weeks into veg, and still see nothing but female pre-flowers. Unless...

Here's a photo I pulled off of Google that's a little more drastic than mine, but the exact same idea.

Hi all, Just a quick question, I did a search for chimeras on the forums but all I found was the company Chimera Seeds, and a user by that name, so I had to ask. I've got a white widow growing in (about 5 weeks in) that's a genetic chimera. It has leaves with distinct lines of color (dark green...

Regarding the drooping at night, just before lights out, and then standing up again in the morning - I've only grown white widow so I can't guarantee this applies to every strain, but I've noticed the same thing in my non-smokable plants as well (herbs + veggies). I have webcams in my grow tent...
