Variegated Plants

[MongyMan]

A few yrs ago I had seeds that grew variegated shade leaves ( white and green )

They looked like pure indicas and were very well camoflaged in the bush

Unfotunatly the seeds were destroyed and I didn't take photos.

Anyone ever seen this before and better still got photos.

white and green ive never seen!

Variegation is a common genetic anomaly that shows up in many species, but I've never actually seen it in cannabis before. Whether it's an improvement is debatable, as it could mean less chlorophyll and therefore need more leaf to produce the same amount of sugars for the plant.

 

But yeah, I'll be really interested to see if anyone has any pics of variegated weed. There are many, many genetic variations in cannabis, some beneficial, some not, but that's about the only one which is common in many other species that I've never seen in MJ.

 

Is it at all possible the plants may have been affected by something which caused the physical appearance of variegation rather than being genetic? Virus can cause streaks, but this is usually necrotic rather than chlorotic in nature. It could also be caused by herbicide drift....

It was a deffinite genetic trait and a top smoke, I grew the seeds for a few years and am spewing that I lost the genetics.

[Luke Skywalker]

Indeed, I bet you would be.

 

Any chance this strain had a name that could perhaps be tracked down? Or was it just a local hybrid?

[MongyMan]

no idea what strain, I got the seeds from a top smoke I bought, I think it came from around Dorigo nsw

[MongyMan]

The strain I've recently been told rob was suposedly skunk #1. which from they way they grew they might have been. The buds I bought were all seed but they smoked up nice so I bought an oz for the seeds.

 

I found this pic on another site but can't remember where now. It is a variagated plant but different to the ones I grew. They had patches of white, green and mottled green and white all over the leaves.

 

 

Peace MongyMan

[loylty gets u nothing]

i've seen it (from others, not my own) in dj's F13, Sharon Widow clone, and bluemoonrocks...probably plenty of others, but it does seem to occur a bit more amongst different blueberry populations like f13, flo, and bb

 

i made some enquiries at another site

that is the only answer i got...

im sure it was sometyhing i found in and saw in skunk genes but

take care mate
