Stripes on seedling leaf. Probably nothing to worry about?

Sort of a rookie here. Environment seems in a good range (temp in tent runs anywhere from 73-78, Humidity try to keep around 65%) and the last few days they have had their first little growth spurt so, that's good. Just curious about these markings. Does it indicate something wrong with medium or anything? Light is at 18" (LED) and set to 30% with LUX around 16k at the tops. I haven't watered them in a few days as I don't want to overwater. Probably water this weekend. I guess that's a second question. In the big pots, I typically would water slowly and in little bursts until I get good saturation and runoff. Then, I don't water again until shit is dry. Same methodology hold true with seedlings?


Thanks!!!

that patches are 99.9% genetic. if there is another reason for those, i’m not aware of it and your watering technique seems fine to me thats what i do too i just dont let them dry out completely just fairly

Thank You!!

they could be genetic, or they could be mosaic virus...keep an eye on it, see if it seems to be spreading, see if you start getting damaged growth, stunted branches....i've had plants with mosaic virus that finished fine, and ones that i had to trash, weren't growing worth a fuck and didn't want to infect any of my other plants so i couldn't take any clones.

That looks like Variegation to me.

I've had plants that had mottled leaves throughout their entire life cycle. Weird cause only would happen off a certain branch and not the others one the same plant. Could never figure it out. Thought it was just genetic.

Thanks All! Yes, it just happened to the one leaf and they all seem happy right now (to me anyway). Just getting pucker factor on every little thing I guess. Then again, this is how I learn what's a little thing and what's a little thing that's about to turn into a big thing..
