Some of my plants have some weird looking leaves and I can't figure out what is wrong. They are kinda blotchy looking with light greens and darker greens and some only half of the leaf is like that. I have about 43 plants and only about 8 of them are doing this (so far). Was kinda leaning towards calcium or magnesium def but not 100% on that. Hopefully someone has seen this cause the guys at the hydro store were uncertain also. Thanks.

Instead of describing the pics, it would help if you would tell what, how much you are feeding, age of plants, medium, PH.
You don't even tell what strain, or if some are different.
BTW, '43 plants' and is this your first grow?
Hmmmmmmmmmm.........:wall:

They are getting the flora series along with Cali magic, feeding them about 10gal every other day. I am top watering in soiless, ph is 6.0 and ppm 790. They are in week three of flower

doesn't look like a nutrient deficiency looks more motteld and that is indicative of mites. Have you found any webs. I would definitely invest into a miteicide.

Could it be TMV?

TMV only exists inside laboratories, has been that way since 1970. The other closely resembling viral infection is CMV, also known as a cucumber mosaic virus. Of which there is no cure for. Research has shown plants that have been introduced and form a symbiotic relationship with Trichoderma fungi have higher systemic acquired response or SAR. this is the plants natural ability to resist and combat viral, fungal, bacterial and predatorial insects. mites are in the Arachne family and as such, have an exoskeleton. a biological control agent is necessary inorganic approach to integrated pest management solutions. A bacterial biofilm troll that's worth looking into is Bacillus thungurnis. Or aka BT. it excrement is toxic and is readily absorbed almost immediately through the exoskeletons of invasive parasites.

Thank you for your response Tikitoker, very informative. I have not found any webs yet but I am gonna get a microscope on them hopefully tonight and see if I find any mites. I sure hope I can get to the bottom of this cause I'm sure this can't be good for them. At least I can rule out TMV though. Thanks again.

Can you take a couple pics of them with normal light so I can see the true color?
I want to say (much as I hate to admit the guys at store might be right, because usually those guys IME, just want to sell you extra unnecessary shit) it looks to me like a Ca. deficiency, especially how it appears your center veins are turning yellow also.
But also, because if you're at 6.0 in soilless, you might be locking out Ca.
If you can try and get your PH down to 5.8, and wait a couple days to see if it continues to get worse, I would do that.

Here is a pic in normal light, some of the leaves or worse than this.

Pic is fine, but in the future, supplying pics of whole plant also will help more.
I stick with my previous, and still believe it's a beginning of a Ca. deficiency.
Here's a chart that will help you keep an eye on what you have available, as you can see, for the hydro (or soil less) you're just above where Ca. is available.View attachment 2938384

Oh ok sorry, I will get the whole plant next time. Thank you for your input, I appreciate it and that chart is really helpful. Looks like I definitely need to bring my ph level down a little bit. I'll do that and give it a couple days and update on outcome. Thanks again

Also why would only some of them be doing it and not all since they all get the same feeding?

I've got 5 diff. plants going right now, 2 beans identical, 4 different strains, but I have to mix different food for the twins.
Not all beans are the "same".
