Strange Coloured Leaves

[MongyMan]

I have grown plants that have turned to a silvery grey colour as they mature. If it isnt mold ( powdery mildew is easy see it is a mold ) or obvious insects, I wouldnt be too concerned boa. Mine were a haze strain from memory. As the chlorophyl dissapears from the leaves the natural leaf colour becomes obvious, from deep reds to yellow and almost white sometimes, just like autumn leaves. I havnt seen silvery grey often but i know it occurs.

took a few pics this arvo..I took a lot more which seemed to be blurred and out of focus..

 

anyhow , I have 3 strains growing in this garden bed...Indy, Rhino and Mango.. ..I've tried to compare the leaves of each one..

 

the best close up I took..

Rhino...indy..mango

Rhino..indy

top to bottom..Rhino..indy..mango..this pic prob shows it best

leaf from underneath..looks ok...

 

@ Fraz..It kinda does look a bit like a silver overspray..I reckon 2 weeks and I pull em..

 

thc..nuh, not thrip mate.. used to get thrip in Vic, but dont seem to get them in Qld..

 

Mong..I rubbed the leave like shit...nothing ...leave still looked the same..definately in the colour of the leaf.. as I said earlier mate..I have grown this strain inside and out quiet a few times, but never with leaves this colour..

 

I will keep u all informed..

Hey guys. been looking at those leaves and reading the posts. some of the leaves seem to be holding green pigment in their veins. as i said , i think i've had this a few times over the years. it does look like overspray and it does'nt wipe off. and it spreads. i think its some type of spore thing that feeds off chlorophyll. and it seems more common in humid wheather, which gels with it being mildew, mould, or something similar.

never did much damage to my girls though. Still, it'd be interesting to know for sure...cheers...B.B....

Hey BOA, I reckon SS might have nailed it mate sorry. Looks like powdery mildew.

Watch for it spreading eh. Maybe treat the plant/s like roses with blackspot and destroy all trim etc for a safer start to next season.

Good luck there mate

[bongonaussie]

yeah, bush buggered...it sure is strange to me..cheers

 

mull, you may well be right..SS could be right...I know if you rub the leaf, it still looks the same, nothing rubs off it..thanks for replies everyone..

 

a quick update and a few pics of the Indy..

 

she sure looks silvery

bud close up

another bud close up

noticed this 2 days ago..its the only bud like it..

from memory.. this plant started as a clone inside, around november..when

put outside it started to bud..after a month or so ..it then reverted to veg before buds were ready...so it grew for a month or so , then budded.. you can see the bottom foot of the plant where it originally budded..

 

I decided to pull the plant in the next few days.. It may be a week early..just not sure..but the time has come..

 

I will post a few harvest pics during the week..

Hey mate the 2nd last pic looks like a bit of bud rot, if so i would pull her now as i found in my last grow it only gets worse every day, but i could be wrong as well...

[bongonaussie]

hey there oz..Yeah, I reckon your spot on...thats why Im pulling her a tad early...I watching very closely ATM...no other signs anywhere...

[Ozzy420]

Hey mate if u can try and have a look into all other buds as all can seem well on the out side but in side is all rottern away found this out the hard wayme self...

defo budrot bongon - it is a fungal rot and the moisture gets into the inner bud and sits. It's common in rainy areas,

 

I don't know if the proble can be reversed but you couldtry removing the spoilled section and do daily inner bud inspection for removal

 

Goodluck saving some bud and inspect well before you smoke as you don't want to end up with a respiritory infection
