This my first grow. I started with an auto-flower that is a Girl Scout Cookie from ILGM. The seeds looked green and unhealthy but I went ahead and planted them about two weeks ago in a grow tent using FFHF soil. It's been a learning experience to say the least, (light height, intensity, etc) but I've been very cautious about over watering. The first set of real leaves showed light and dark green striations. At first I thought it was due to insects such as Thrips, but I've haven't seen anything on the leaves or in the soil after very close inspection.
Then I started thinking that I screwed up on my first couple of waterings by using water that was not pH'ed properly. Like I said, this is my first grow so mistakes are being made. Therefore, I bought a Bluelab meter and have only used water with a pH range between 6.0-6.5 since then. The second set of leaves didn't have the traditional three leaves. The third set of leaves looks normal but they still have the weird color striations. I just watered yesterday after letting the soil dry out good and the plant seems to be growing okay. However, the new leaves still have light and dark color striations as shown in the photo. Now I'm starting to think it is a genetic mutation. Would you continue the grow or pull it and start over. I have some seeds from Fastbuds and Twisted Tree so starting again is no big deal. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
