These were from seeds I made a long time ago when I first started. I can't remember the parents. Could have been Mango, White Widow, or THC Bomb. Anyway, started 'em in early Sept and it is currently about week 6 of flower. Thought it might be interesting to post as I looked for key work albino and didn't see much.

People are gonna say Light Bleaching. But this is not light bleaching because the infrastructure of the bud leafs is not damaged at all. Looks like a Pigment depletion something.

I initially thought about scrapping her, but my curiosity got the better of me. I wanted to see how size, trich production, taste, and a few other things turned out.

You may first notice Mg symptoms at the top of the plant. The leaves in the growing shoot are lime-colored. In extreme cases, all the leaves turn practically white, with green veins. Treat Mg symptoms with one-half teaspoon of epsom salts to each quart of water, and water as usual. The top leaves recover their green color within four days, and all but the most damaged should recover gradually. Continue to fertilize with epsom salts as needed until the plants are flowering well.

Not trying to be a dick Joe but you looked at the pics and read right? They've had Cal/Mag and plenty of nutes right along. It's not a deficiency. It's a genetic mutation.

As the buds continued to ripen they started to take on a purplish tinge to them and the hairs turned orange like normal. We smoke 'em yesterday and it was all thumbs up. :)
