Hey guys, been doing this for a while and had a curious looking couple of leaves turn up on my Sour Lemon OG. I've got a dozen plants and as many strains out there, but none of them are showing this except this SLOG, and just a few leaves. It looks like someone touched a few blotches of white paint on it at first glance, but under the microscope it appears to be a peculiar form of necrosis. Anyone seen this before?

your leaves could have gotten wet and the sun then burned them.

If it were water magnification bleaching they would be circular and in a spray pattern. This is classic light damage IME.

I have never ever seen water droplets cause that, not at high noon on the hottest day, and I spray my plants down all the time, especially when it's hot.

I have seen that under a 600W light put on a mover, and when moving plants from fluorescent to HID lighting, and have seen pix/reports of folks experiencing the same thing when using LEDs. Looks like light bleaching to me, too.

Cool, thanks for the replies guys, it had me puzzled since I've never seen light bleaching outdoors before. It only happened on the Sour Lemon OG, so perhaps that strain is particularly sensitive to light.
