Hey so one of my plants has this wierd coloring, its also much smaller than the big healthy ones.

Any idea what would cause this strange mutation?

Hmmm, kinda looks like sunblock was on the yellow parts.
Do you give your pots a 1/4 turn every few days to even out the light distribution.

Pretty odd. As long as the new growth is ok I wouldn't stress about it. Also, make sure that your containers and grow medium are draining well.

i have a couple with lower branches turning yellow and one with the edges of a couple leaves yellowing. I hadent given any nutrients after almost 4 weeks of veg. I recently began foilar feeding with some flowering nutes and a nitrogen concentrate they gave me at the hydro shop. Have you been feeding them? From what i know of it could be a nitrogen deficency, or your PH is to high.

my pH is pretty high. I don't have a kit or pH down and am using tap water. The water company reports an 8.3 for tap water

I have higher ph on my tap water also. The addition of nutes sometimes help bring it down. I had the same prob when I wasn't feeding could have been nitro def but I think it was ph too high
