Mail me a cutting? In plants this condition is called variegation - in case you want to look up more info.
Actually here is a great link all about them. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/tisscult/chimeras/chimeralec/chimeras.html

The strain is sweet island skunk. And @ gastanker. Its hard to tell from the pictures but the whole plant isnt like this its just one branch off the main stalk. there was only one place for me to take a cutting and i did but the cutting is all white not white and green. Ill keep it touch with how it turns out. this plant was already weeks into bud so getting the cutting i took to transition back to veg from being in bud will take some time. if the cutting does good and you still want one a month down the road thats all white then we will see.

Sounds great but I would be just as happy with a cutting from one of it's green branches - guessing it is too late for that though
Hopefully the cutting you took wasn't completely white or it don't be able to perform photosynthesis and will surely die. The genes for the white parts should be all though your plant though so any cutting would work for me

Just because its not green does not mean it cant perform photosynthesis. Also it may or may not grow out of it.....Sounds great but I would be just as happy with a cutting from one of it's green branches - guessing it is too late for that though

Research it - they can't perform photosynthesis. There is no chlorophyll nor enough carotenoids for the leaf to maintain itself. This is why you will never see completely albino mature plants but instead the chimeras.

Ever seen a japanese maple tree? Not a single green leaf on the entire plant. They seem to live just fine.........

Right but I don't believe Japanese Maples are white leaved, either. They still have chlorophyll, you just don't see the green because there are more carotenoids and anthocyanins (additional pigments) which overpower it. If you were to put a Japanese Maple in the shade it probably would turn green.

My bad. Somehow I missed the 'albino' part. From the pics its looks more like a light green......
