Whats wrong with my plants?

whaddup. popped a few tangie beans and placed them in rapid rooters and then stuck them in some happy frog soil in solo cups and about all of them started to look like this. At first site i though maybe it was a little light burn so I raised my T5 and it just kept growing like this. Thinking maybe they needed more nitrogen? Going to transplant this weekend into some Roots and see if that helps but would really like to know what it is. thanks

this is light burn. rare with fluorescents but possible if touching

Nah, I don't see ANY light burn here.....What I see is a 2 tone plant pheno, I have several pheno's of different strains that do that! Green house "The Doctor" is one....So don't worry about that at all!

But I see you run happy frog. You might consider adding a Cal/Mag at a rate of 2-3ml per gallon of feed. Next time you run, you may also consider adding some dolomite lime to the HF as it will help it out (pH stability) in the long run.

Your plants look great. Nice color, same with the new growth....
grow on!

it does look like the early signs of a cal-mag def....typically I use 4 to 5 ml/gallon but my water is very soft, so 2 to 3 ml/gal is a good start

yeah I figured it was early stages of CalMag def. so I added some on the last feeding and it improved a little but like I said I wasnt too sure what this was. it was only on this strain so I knew it had to be lacking something compared to the others.

Could need repotting. Looking a bit patchy.

transplanting tomorrow morning

in plants there's a gene that carries variegation and will occasionally appear in your grow. growers of landscape plants ramp up this characteristic to provide the industry with different varieties of ornamental plants. its not a deficiency or any environmental flaw on your part. its just a typo in the dna.

please explain further or show me some data..not being an ass just something new i have never heard of.

Yea my cindi99 had that look. don't see anything to worry about yet.

you have multiple strains you say that do this? I am confused since your suggesting some gentic gene that does this which i do see being possible but if so it would be an anomaly in which case i highly doubt you have multiple plants with this same problem.

Not saying I am the greatest or even great for that matter just ok but i know enough to know you may want to try something new with those "genetic" 2 tone plants because odds are it's something you have done..or maybe i am a moron could be.

Ok, First off, this is NOT a problem! It is a genetic "thing". I have 2 strains that ALL the seeds that I popped had/have this "trait". I have seen this "trait" on at least 1 other strain not in my grows. It is NOT something anyone has "done" to the plant, except for the breeder who picked (somewhere along the line in breeding) plants that had the "trait" for his use in establishing the "new" strain. You must remember that in breeding you will express the "traits' of both the male and the female in the resulting "offspring". Breeders are attempting to express in the offspring the desired traits of each. One of the parents had this 2 tone trait in the breeding of this strain and in the end it turned out to be one of the dominate traits passed on to the offspring
of this strain.
So, that means that all the resulting offspring from the breeder then stabilizing the strain for "market uniformity" HAVE this 2 tone trait!

Like I said, "THE DOCTOR" strain from Green House seeds HAS this trait....Order some,,,,,see for yourself!

I could bore the shit out of you with technical terms and long winded explanations of breeding practice, but attempted to keep it short and simple.
If you still would like to learn about genetics?
Please read a book about the subject. There is a WHOLE lot more to KNOW, then just taking pollen from one and putting it on another to make a new one!
