Cool, thank you your advicePossibly mite damage, but hard to say for sure. Would not hurt to treat for broad mites with Forbid 4F.

Then use:forbid isn't registered for use on pot.
Your leaves do not look healthy. Look under the leaves.Have not been able to get a strong enough magnifying glass. I saw a picture that looked like my plant and it was broad mites. I just don't know. Plant seems to growing and healthy.
But it works! About the only thing that will hit Broads and Russets....forbid isn't registered for use on pot.

That is Variegation! Cell mutation!not broadmite damage. that looks like a virus or deficiency
had a king louie would do that a little, had broadmites too. that's why i know it wasn't them bastardsThat is Variegation! Cell mutation!
Stole this from Wiki -
Variegation is the appearance of differently coloured zones in the leaves, and sometimes the stems, of plants. Variegated leaves occur rarely in nature.
Stole this from Hortmag
What causes variegation in plants?
Answer: Variation in leaf color arises because of a lack of the green pigment chlorophyll in some of the plant cells. It isn't an adaptation to the environment, but instead it is usually the result of a cell mutation, and can be inherited (genetic) or occur randomly (chimeric).
In nature these forms usually die out, being weaker growers because of the lack of chlorophyll, which plants use to make the food they need for growth.
What you have there is a variegated plant. While this looks like a viral infection (it can be). This is not. The damage to the lower leaves is a result of natural plant growth. The lack of Chlorophyll in leaf sections....Makes it easier for this to happen. ^ see the "weaker grower" part above..
The plant can finish out just fine.....It'l be fussier then a normal plant....Be attentive and patient. Or, ditch and restart.
I know a cpl of strains are prone to it....
OK thank you for your time and advice.That is Variegation! Cell mutation!

No problem!OK thank you for your time and advice.
I've had broadmites and agree, that is not broadmite damage.not broadmite damage. that looks like a virus or deficiency
Forbid does kick ass. Sadly it will not kill Daleks.But it works! About the only thing that will hit Broads and Russets....
'so does dynamite: ) it's for use on ornamentals it is systemic so you will be smoking or eating , not me. They test pot now so if someone is supplying a shop it would be a real drag to get your stuff rejected. This is what's registered for use on pot in WA. http://www.evergreengrowers.com/broad-mite-control.html . This stuff is new http://www.dazeys.com/trifecta/pest-mold-prevention/trifecta-crop-control-1-gallon.html I have some haven't needed it yet hope I don't need to either..But it works! About the only thing that will hit Broads and Russets....
