Ponky, thanks for the reply. Minus the fly, bugs haven't been a major issue. Ph was always adjusted and checked before watering. Media was not ideal. I started with burpee organic mix, just something I found at the local store with coco coir. Light started indoor under a t5 spouter humidity dome. Then outdoors to a mostly shaded greenhouse. Then to mostly direct sunlight after 12pm. The plant never had a fair chance in life but I'm learning alot.Bugs. Ph. Media. Light. The poor plants a goner.
Aqua man, thank you for the reply. That's very interesting. Searching online I've never heard of this nor would I possibly find it. My plants did start indoor under a t5 spouter. Then I move them outdoors to a greenhouse that got very little direct sunlight. Shortly after that I invested in the spider farm 2x2 with the ts1000. I moved my plants indoors and they finally took off. But after a month they were not very full and stretched considerably. Every transplant I stuck the faint root ball on the bottom of the container and covered with soil. Since these are photos I decided to move them back outside to let the season finish them out and started an auto indoors. I may have stretch watering as well in fear of over watering. My schedule was every 3 days unless I knew it was gonna be in the 90s.These come from inside out?
There is something going on... possibly underwatering? But note sure yet.
One key not is you see the pattern this is happening in?
This is called variegation. Then the variegated portions are burning. So it's an uptake issue or the plants being stressed a ton from UV exposure if it was started indoors and moved outside.
Variegated leaves do not photosynthesize well on the portions that are variegated which is why you see those portions damaged or will be lighter in healthy plants.
If I had to guess that's what happened.... you have a plant that carries the variegation gene. It was started indoors and moved outside... causing the less photosynthetic portions to burn from UV exposure.
I could be wrong as I don't have a lot of info on the grow but 1,000,000% the variegation is playing a role here. Not to mention stress can bring out the variegated expressions if the plants carry that gene
So I would remove the severely damaged leaves and put them under low light intensity. After you see improvement then slowly bump them up going from low light to full sun is very hard on a plant. To add they are not conditioned to UV and that will stress them big time even in a healthy plant.Aqua man, thank you for the reply. That's very interesting.

That sounds like good advice. I don't want to lose all my plants to this. I will remove the damaged leaves and place the plants in a shadier spot to recover from the uv/direct sun exposure as well as increase my watering. Thanks again. Ill post pictures and results here for anyone interested in the outcome.So I would remove the severely damaged leaves and put them under low light intensity.

Get the watering under wraps and they should recover.
Treat for gnats with bti and stickies and plants once taken outside should not be brought back in due to bugs. Others may have a better treatment for gnats as bugs are something I'm piss poor in experience on.
This thread will help you solve the dilemma of how and when to water and how the media and pot size shape affect it.
Marijuana Watering, how media, pot size/shape and environment affect it
Ok lots of posts on how to water plants. So I thought I would put together a thread on how different factors contribute to different results that ppl see. This will be a long read based on my personal knowledge, opinions, research and others work to consolidate information for our members. I'm...www.thcfarmer.com
Absolutely am interested. Hoping it works out. I've grown some variegated plants and sometime they kinda pull out of it. Some of the most sought after strains carry this gene. And most times it's not a really big issue as plenty of other leaves are photosynthesizing well. Just something to pay attention to and if it's too prominent you may want to avoid that pheno or exclude it from cloning.That sounds like good advice. I don't want to lose all my plants to this.
