whats with all the white spots on your leaves? looks good other than that.
Honestly I have no clue. I have been told everything from mag. deficiency, p deficiency, check the ph and run off - everything has been done has not worked and the ph is in perfect range. I think the plant is slightly retarded.
The weird thing is, the leaves aren't "deficient" looking where its in a symmetrical pattern of discolor. Instead it looks like a type of camo when you take a pic with a magnifying glass. Pic incoming

I have seen pictures of a couple of partially albino plants, but they always had like half of a fan leaf that was totally white. Not sure whats going on with yours, but it doesn't look like the typical problems people get. It may not be a problem at all...

i'd say you've got an albino on your hands, Congrats! It shouldn't make any difference in the health of your plant, just makes it more interesting. lol.
Hey, and thank you! And sure I'll tell ya what I am using to grow these! I got it all at home depot and walmart and the list is as follows starting from the bottom up:
1. Four coats of FLAT white paint throughout the closet, 3 mini fans from walmart, 1 humidifier (I also have a dehumidifier on hand incase of issues), 1 CPU blower for exhaust into attic, four TCP 300w CFLS (type TCP into home depot site and u cant miss it, theyre 15 bucks each bulb) and about 8 100w daylight CFL's (two pack is 4 bucks at home depot) The lights are split by using the bulb Y sockets you can also get in home depot (2 bucks each) and they are being suspended by industrial strength lamp cord with the reflecters chopped off.
They have had the same lights from seed to now, they plants look like theyre doing well and the buds are already starting to crystalize all over the plant and its only been 2 weeks into flowering.
As for the albino plant, yay =), I dont think it will have an effect on how the buds come out because I can already see the green growth underneath the bush of pistols on each bud. However, if they came out white I would shit my pants =)
Ps just because people are now asking what kind of lighting and systems I am using to grow I feel its my responsibility to point out that CFL bulb are DANGEROUS LIGHT BULBS and should be handled with CAUTION.
CFL's if introduced to misted water while being on for longer than 60 seconds has a high rate of explosion. A CFL bulb is run using mercury to create such great luminosity, mercury is harmful/fatal to human beings. If a CFL bulb is cracked or shattered while in use, the bulb will set on fire. Not a small fire, but a serious electrical fire that will quickly climb up the cord to the top of your grow room and eventually burn down your entire house.
If you choose to use CFL lighting as your main source to grow cannabis, please make sure you do it SAFELY. By safe I mean do what I do:
1. Buy three smoke detectors, place two in different spots of the grow room and another into the attic where it is being exhausted to.
2. Buy a medium sized fire extinguisher incase of emergency.
3. Buy a baby monitor and set it in your grow room on high, place the other baby monitor in the area you will be around the house, if not just carry it around with you.
I know this seems like a huge over thought on the dangers of CFL bulbs but its not. CFLs when broken will release a mercury gas that can have fatal consequences if inhaled. If you dont believe me, believe this hillbilly who actually shattered a light for shits n giggles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti9WK-y1Thw

Just a little update on how these are doing, I posted a new thread and then thought about this one and kinda kicked myself! This is a magnified w a diamond jewelers magnifying glass on the albino NUGGETS that are now growing out of my partially albino plant. The entire plant smells like rotten (in a good way) nugget and baby shit so her new strain name is Babyshit.
Below is a picture zoomed out of the entire plant + the newbies I just threw into flowering to continue the cycle!
